Turn up your music with The Sharper Image Speaker Case

The Sharper Image Speaker Case for all iPod models combines the lightweight functionality of a protective case with two built-in speakers for rich sound quality. The sleek and durable design will be available in black, white and pink, making it accessible to a wide audience in virtually any home, office, commuter or travel setting. The detachable rubberized viewing stand allows users to share their favorite tunes and videos with others. An added earphone jack on the case allows for private listening as well.

The Sharper Image Speaker Case will retail at $39.95.

Additional power hours with The Sharper Image Charger Case

The Sharper Image Charger Case for the iPhone looks like a standard leather case - but in fact contains a fully rechargeable lithium battery in this compact design. Ideal for the iPhone road warrior, this case provides six to eight hours of additional iPhone power for extended use. The on/off switch turns on the charger only when necessary and it comes with a USB cord to charge the battery with any USB-compatible device, including computers and USB car and wall chargers.
