iSkin Brings Vibes to 30 GB iPod

By Geoff Duncan Published November 6, 2006

Toronto’s iSkin has just announced new versions of its funky Vibes protective cases for iPod—this time reproportioned to accommodate Apple’s 30 GB video-capable iPod. Originally issued for Apple’s iPod mini and first-generation iPod shuffle, the Vibes cases feature anime-inspired illustrations by Simone Legno, co-founder and designer for tokidoki, beloved by fashionistas and adopted by Mercedes Benz, LeSportsac handbags, pop sensation Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas, and actress Jessica Alba.

The Vibes cases feature a solid outside layer with texture bumps for a solid grip, plus iSkin’s “SI” (Silicone Inside) payer to protect against shocks and scratches. The cases also offer a removable rotary belt click (called the RevoClip²) for hooking the iPod onto a belt, jacket, bag, or other item.

Hyundai is on a roll. In October, the South Korean manufacturer posted its best U.S. sales ever, largely driven by sales of its popular Ioniq 5 electric SUV.

Now, all eyes are on the Ioniq 5’s 2025 model, which is set to become available at dealerships before year-end. As Digital Trends previously reported, the crossover model adds a more rugged-looking trim level called XRT and provides additional driving range as well as new charging options.

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.
