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.
