This morning I wrote about GEAR4’s ambition to be first with new iPod cases, and this evening, here are the first four new designs.

JumpSuit Plus for New iPod nano

The new iPod nano gets a JumpSuit, a two-pack of silicon cases with a free sports armband. Featuring super-thin silicon, embossed click wheel controls, full access to all ports, and plastic screen protector, the JumpSuit Plus costs £4.99, and will be available on 12th September.

JumpSuit Shield for iPod nano

This is a silicon case with a hard plastic screen protector, available in black or ice white, and again features a thin silicon casing, a full-body, hard plastic shield, covered click wheel, full access to all ports, and GEAR4 Lanyard included. Cost £14.99 and arriving on 21st September.

GEAR4 claim they'll be first to market with new iPod accessories, applaud Apple's strategy

With the advent of new iPods (Classic, widescreen Nano, Touch) comes the opportunity for a whole new range of iPod accessories.

GEAR4 reckon they’ll be the first company to market new cases for the new iPods, with some silicon, hard, and combination cases being available within the week.

What’s interesting is their viewpoint that, not only will Apple continue to dominate the portable media player market, but that “heavy iPod users” need at least two, or possibly three, iPods.
