iFrogz - iPod case

I have to admit that my iPod is not the latest and greatest, but it does play video. Although, I digress, I have been in need of a case for a long time and a coworker mentioned iFrogz and I thought the name sounded familiar. Sure enough, I had them in my favorites at home.

I looked into them more and really liked the products that they offered. After about a month of research I finally decided that I would go with iFrogz and then I had to wait because the one I wanted was out of stock; I thought that a little weird. However, payday came and I ordered my case. The ordering process was not too bad, but I did get to choose a band color and a wheel cover if you go with the full package. BTW - The package is the best deal and besides, I really wanted the wheel cover. I chose the iPod video case I wanted, the Treadz design, because how cool it looked. I did think it was weak that I had to choose the main color even though they only offer one color. I chose the Gunmetal Gray band color because I wanted the two-tone look. I also went with the jumbled numbers wheel cover because it reminded me of my mind set. I added it to my cart and sticker shock about knocked me off my chair. $30 seemed a bit steep for an iPod case, but after the few cases (not made by iFrogz) that I have seen and handled I was hoping that I was making a good choice. The shipping time was also discouraging because it said like 10 days. 10 days? That is almost like ordering "Media Mail" from Amazon.

I received an email two days later that my case had shipped and I became giddy like a little kid. iFrogz, is located in Logan, Utah, which is two hours from West Valley City, where I am. Thus, I knew it would be here within a day or so. I saw it in my mailbox and skipped/ran to my desk to open it and see how it looked. It was exactly like I thought and exactly like iFrogz showed on their website. The three piece system seemed a bit hokey for me at first, but I really enjoy the added protection when I am working outside or when my two year-old gets a hold of it and thumps it on the floor. While at work I have the band attached and the only time I don't is when my iPod is syncing. All in all, I love the system and $30 doesn't seem too bad now. I am overly happy with my purchase and I commend iFrogz for a solid product and a decent ordering process; that is hard to say in today's world.

I agree with amy...uhm...not with the lover part. that would just be awkward. anyway, you should post the picture or even the site that you found your particular one so we can see that picture. I tried finding it but I don't think I did.

Oh yea, I remember what I was going to say before I read amy's comment! I like the new thelins page. Don't worry, it doesn't have the "it's to hot to look at vibe." It reminds me of a beach sun. Just so you know
