It’s been a good year for me in terms of gadgets! I got an iPod video back in February, then bought a MacBook in March. Now, Santa brought me an iPod nano for me to use with my Nike+ system, as well as an iPod clock radio.
Now, owning to many i-products, I’m a little concerned about losing any, or having my bag pick-pocketed. A friend of mine recently got her Nike+ stolen in the gym, and a few years ago someone stole her iPod with all her work related files on it. Aside from the i-loss, losing the files was reason for a major freak-out.

So, how to protect your “i”?
Although short of handcuffing the iPod or iPhone to your wrist, there isn’t much you can do to keep it from getting stolen if you are not too careful with it. However, you can protect it from what happened to my iPod video; preventing it from getting all scratched up and scuffed by chosing the right ipod accessories.

There are many ipod accessories that help keep iPods and iPhones scratch free. Personally, I think the silicone skins that go around the entire iPod are best. I bought a leather case for my iPod video, but the case is somewhat open at the top, which allows small dirt to get in, which in turns seems to scratch the back of the iPod when it is taken out and put into the case.
