you?

As you might have already discovered, iPod accessories have become all the rage. Not only do they add tremendous functionality to your iPod, but they increasingly make a fashion statement too.
For example, you can get a standard cover, which protects your iPod from the elements for around $30 from Speck Products, or you can pay over $200 for one by Louis Vuitton.
Many customers will spend more on their accessories than they did on the iPod itself. So how does one know what accessories to choose, when there are over 400 items to choose from today?
We have sorted through the data and below you will find our picks arranged by categories - headphones, speakers, cases, armbands, and car audio.
Headphones:
Apple iPod Remote & Earphones still rank high on our list. Not only do they sound fantastic, due to their neodymium transducers, but the remote control adds a great convience factor. You can fast forward, rewind, play/pause, and control the volume. Protect your iPod in a backpack or pocket, while controling all the must use functions via remote.
Speakers:
Bose SoundDock System is still the premier system that all others try to emulate. Bose is a leader in sound innovation and technology, always improving their design. And while it is pricey at $299, once your hear it, you will agree it is worth every penny. The unit is very attractive, and will nicely blend in to any decor. Also, in addition to playing all your songs, the SoundDock charges your iPod and can be controlled via remote control. No need to get up off the couch to change the song. With the Bose SoundDock System you will think the music is coming from a large, component stereo system, it sounds that good!
Cases:
Speck Products brings you excellent, durable protection for your iPod. What we especially like about the product is that it ensconses your iPod like a bank vault. You can drop it, drag it, or step on it, and the cover protects as it should. It is constructed from a superior shock-absorbing, tear-resistant plastic, and protects your iPod from dust, knocks and scratchs. And did we mention, it comes a bevy of colors and is very pleasing to the eye too.
Arm Bands:
Apple iPod Armbands are great! We picked them because they are light weight, easy to wear, and available in many different colors. All this, while providing you skip-free, hands-free, iPod protection.
Car Audio:
Monster Cable iCarPlay Plus Wireless FM Transmitter/Charger for iPod is our pick for the best FM transmitter. Share your iPod collection with friends using Monster Cable iCarPlay that lets you play your dockable iPod through any FM radio. We got the best reception, since we were able to use any FM frequency, because the unit is digital. You simply match the FM frequency on the Monster Cable to that on your car stereo. It is that easy! The sound quality is very clear, but don't expect CD quality. Finally, the unit also charges your iPod simultaneously, so you will never run out of power.
