iArmor by iKeychain: Aluminum case for iPod and iPod mini

iKeychain, makers of the iKeychain (duh) aluminum case for iPod shuffle, have announced their intentions to produce aluminum cases for iPods of all flavors - and we're talking about iPods mini, 20GB, 30GB, 40GB, 60GB, 2nd and 3rd generation. They're highlighting the iPod mini version on their web site right now and it features interior rubber padding and a standard belt clip button on the back (love those). There will also be an optional lid with no access holes that covers the iPod display and Click Wheel. The polished aluminum version, which looks really sharp, will ship in one to two weeks, and additional anodized colors will ship in two to four weeks. It's not cheap at $50, but the peace of mind knowing that if you get run over by a truck at least your iPod will survive is priceless.

When we first got the iPod nano, we noticed scratches showing up almost right away. We got the InvisibleShield on the iPod nano and it’s been scratch-free ever since.

However, some of the folks at RainyDayMagazine were still a little timid about carrying the iPod around in their pockets and passing it to all who wanted to try it out. To solve that problem, we started looking at “hard” cases to give the iPod nano a little more protection.

We had looked at a lot of different cases on the market. Most of them will probably do a fine job of protecting the iPod, but none was designed as elegantly as the iKeychain. Go here to see how it encases the nano in aircraft grade aluminum:
