Hello everyone. I recently contacted Otterbox about their fabulous new oPod. If you are not aware, the oPod is a water-resistant iPod case. It even allows for button use through the case! I have tested the Lilipod (the oPod's closest competition) and was not thrilled at all. The oPod offers so much more than the Lilipod. The oPod allows the user to use their iPod through the case. With the Lilipod, it is necessary to remove the case in order to use the buttons. When your iPod is in the oPod, all buttons and switches are accessible. With waterproof headphones, the oPod can withstand running in the rain, sand at the beach, a drop, and more! The oPod can even be used with an armband! The oPod has a great color lineup. Unlike the color that Lilipod offers, plain white, oPod goes the extra yard and has a fabulous color lineup. The oPod is available in 5 spectacular colors: Blue, Green, Yellow, White, and Pink!

I contacted OtterBox’s customer service and was met with a prompt reply from Brian Thomas their director of sales and marketing. I called also, and was given prompt and fabulous instructions from a nice staff. Brian was in constant correspondence with me. I am amazed at the amazing customer service that OtterBox provides.

I have other OtterBox products, and they are simply fantastic. I already put my preorder in for the oPod. It comes in stock on June 15. I can’t wait for mine! To check out the OtterBox and get yours, visit http://www.macnn.com. Good Luck, and Happy iPodding!

Isn't it funny how marketing directors, leasing managers, etc. quickly become incapable of describing the object they promote in Normal Human wording?

I was once shown an apartment described to me (as we stood in it) as a "beautiful garden apartment." The "garden" was a 3-foot-square planter full of weeds, in the atrium with peeling seafoam green paint, surrounded by the neighbor's dog poop.

Just as Normal Humans don't call a poop-surrounded planter full of weeds a "garden", Normal Humans don't use every superlative known to man when describing every single feature of a product.

I am the spam king. I have eaten *well* over 6,000. These 500, a mere snack.

It looks like not a bad product though. Otterboxes do have a good reputation, so I must admit the spam surprised me. The link is Otterbox Hopefully nobody will get on their high horse and censor that.
