Griffin iPod Cases, Covers, and Armband Accessories

Griffin has introduced a full line of accessories for the brand new 3g iPod nano video player, the iPod Touch player, and the Classic iPod player, including protective covers, cases, armbands, skins, FM Transmitters, and more. Obviously the screen covers protect your iPod from scratches and dust, but it's nice to see some new styles added with the Griffin Reflect mirrored chrome-finish case.

The Reflect case is a durable polycarbonate shell that presents a seamless, mirrored-chrome reflective face to the world—until you wake up your iPod, and the bright, clear screen shows through the chrome as if by magic. A matte black rubberized case back complements the reflective front, and gives you a secure grip. Fitting your brand new iPod nano into a Reflect case is a snap (literally), and your iPod stays protected yet always accessible.
