iSoundCap intros exercise-centric Running Cap
Some products are simply doomed to fail before they even hit the market, and the iSoundCap was surely one of those items. Unfortunately Amazingly, the start-up centered around a less-than-fashionable ballcap with an apparently appealing ability to tote your iPod is still alive and well, and is now kicking out yet another flavor with trainers (and higher revenue) in mind. The aptly-named Running Cap is "made with a breathable, lightweight mesh fabric, and places the iPod in protective neoprene" to keep any stray wires from flailing around your face. The new exercise-friendly version will supposedly be offered in pink, silver, green, black, red, and blue, which coincidentally matches the colors of the new rainbow nanos. Marketed as the "ultimate way" to carry your iPod while utilizing the Nike+iPod kit, the sweat-proof cap could indeed siphon a few extra dollars from the running crowd, but as of press time we aren't exactly certain how much coinage these outlandish dome adornments will demand.
Goofy iPod Accessory: iSoundCap
I guess the $2 billion iPod accessory market is inspiring everyone to snag a piece of the pie, no matter how... unique their accessory concept might be. Behold: the iSoundCap, a 'breakthrough' way to carry your iPod nano or shuffle. As you can see from the diagram, this stylish cap comes with a pouch (that appears to be permanently mounted on the right side) that offers access to your nano or shuffle controls, along with two headphone wire spools (one for a spare) to help tackle all the slack.The creative cap sells for $29.95, and it comes in a variety of styles depending on model (including pink just for the ladies). If you pre-order before its ship date of 8/1506, iSoundCap is offering a 10% off coupon at their store.[via Engadget]
iSoundCap announces new ball cap iPod accessory
You've got a lot of options when it comes to carrying your iPod around: armbands, belt clips, pockets, lanyards, and a few choice methods reserved for strolling through the less savory areas. But unless you're sporting a set of wireless earphones, all of those methods could get you right tangled up if you're not careful. Enter iSoundCap, a startup focused solely on selling their iPod-holster-on-a-hat contraption for carrying your iPod nano or Shuffle right on your dome, and keeping your headphone cord neatly wrapped up and away from flailing limbs. A compartment above your ear holds your Apple tight, while a wire spool gives you just enough length to keep your 'buds in-ear without the excess cabling becoming hazardous. These two components, along with a questionably styled cap, make up this "innovative" approach to toting your tunes, which seems like a good fit for gym rats and joggers who don't mind the extra headgear -- or something for DIYers to tackle alone. But if you're not down with using your own noggin, you can pick up this lid for $29.95 in mid-August.[Via MacMinute]
