iDisguise presents a curiously strong case for iPod security by obscurity

298481722 b05266094f m iDisguise presents a curiously strong case for iPod security by obscurityiDisguise has introduced a new approach to protecting your iPod and other digital gear from theft–disguise it! The company has released two new anti-theft cases that are designed to look like candy tins while securely holding and disguising an Apple iPod. The cases are meant to be used when an iPod is stored away and not being listened to–the time during which it is statistically most vulnerable to theft.

In addition to protecting your iPod from potential theft, iDisguise simultaneously protects it from drops and scratches, whether in your car, locker, bag, desk, or dorm room. The two iDisguise cases currently available (USD$10.95 each) are made to fit the 1G and 2G iPod Nano, but can also be used to conceal a 1G or 2G iPod shuffle. Additional cases are in development that will suit other iPod models. Each iDisguise case will be offered in limited availability with new designs and disguises being introduced regularly to prevent the recognition of any one disguise among thieves.
