Fine, they won’t really snap your neck, but at least they’ll make your ears tickle, and that’s gotta be good for something. The iFeelU EX2 2.2-channel “Body-Sonic Vibration Ear Wearing System” uses two speakers in each earbud; I’m guessing that the second speaker at the back is actually more of a mass driver, producing vibration rather than sound.

Yesterday we posted about an insanely expensive iPod Touch case. If $227 is too much for you to buy an iPod case then this alternative might be the better option. The VibeVault costs a lot less at $45.

Several versions of this case are available which will fit a number of iPod models including iPod Touch, Nanos, 5th Gen 30/60/80GB, Classic 80/160GB.

The ultimate aluminium case for the iPod Touch has been created. It is named Factron Quattro and it keeps your iPod Touch completely safe.

The case comes as 2 separate sheets of aluminium which are shaped to allow your Touch to sit perfectly in. In each corner there are screws and threads which allow you to attach the other sheet to the lower side of the touch and be securely fastened together. Although it doesn’t appear to protect the screen, it certainly prevents damage to the touch should it be dropped on concrete.
