iSkin Brings Claro to iPods

iSkin has launched its new Claro, a hard, clear polycarbonate case for Apple’s 30 GB fifth-generation video-capable iPods. The Claros combines a soft inner silicon layer to cushion and proect the iPod, while a hard polycarbonate outer layer keeps out dust and moisture while protecting the unit from impacts and those much-dreaded scratches.

The iSkin Claro offers a combined belt-clip and kickstand, combining portability with hands-free viewing and listening, and accommodates the iPod’s dock connector. iSkin is also offering separate “Claro slims” in packs of three colors: the Chill Pack will feature Ebony (black), Ghost (glow-in-the-dark white to blue) and Sonic (blue); the Cruise pack will feature Blush (pink), Blaze (red), and Prince (purple, of course) inserts.

Even as iPod cases go, the iSkin Claro is a little spendy: the Claro is priced at $39.99; the Claro slim packs are $24.99 each, and iSkin will also be happy to offer color-matched sets of its Cerluean XLR earphones during online purchase: a grand total could easily top $100.

Range Rover, the brand made famous for its British-styled, luxury, all-terrain SUVs, is keen to show it means business about going electric.

And, according to the most recent investor presentation by parent company JLR, that’s all because Range Rover fans are showing the way. Not only was demand for Range Rover’s hybrid vehicles up 29% in the last six months, but customers are buying hybrids “as a stepping stone towards battery electric vehicles,” the company says.

BYD’s cheap EVs might remain out of Canada too

BYD Han

With Chinese-made electric vehicles facing stiff tariffs in both Europe and America, a stirring question for EV drivers has started to arise: Can the race to make EVs more affordable continue if the world leader is kept out of the race?

China’s BYD, recognized as a global leader in terms of affordability, had to backtrack on plans to reach the U.S. market after the Biden administration in May imposed 100% tariffs on EVs made in China.
