iPods have revolutionised the mobile music industry with their iconic design and ability to deliver vast amounts of music on the go. A fashion statement and expression of style, they are a part of many peoples digital lifestyles. The iPod isn't cheap and the first thing most users think about after purchasing one is protection. A drop here, a scratch there and your nice new shiny iPod is ruined. Casings and protective shells for iPods are nothing new but the range has always been somewhat limited. Grey, blue, black, sporty black, hard shell. Not exactly awe inspiring or original. Enter the protective casings from Podstar.

The Podstars are not your average run of the mill design. Each one comes with little rubber horns for ears and a rubber horn spiked tail. Elaborate designs, devilish personality, individualism and a healthy dose of attitude make them stand out way above the crowd. Each design is a collector's item and limited in number with serial numbers in the form of dog tags to identify each model. In years to come they could well become collectibles like Swatch watches and beanie babies.

The case range covers iPod video up to the large 60GB units, all the way down to the iPod Nano. Designs include darkside, nightstalker, sideshow, reaper, crimsomniek, splatterfest and various other original monster themes to create your own iPod personality.

Podstar sent us the Splatterfest model with a limited edition collector card telling us all about this little monster.

  • Real Name: Wants to be known as Freddy “Leatherface” Spaulding, for obvious reasons
  • Age: 25
  • Occupation: Horror Movie Fan, Wannabe B-Movie Star
  • Personality: Raised in a highly-disciplined household, Splatterfest compensated for his repressed upbringing by indulging in an endless stream of horror flicks, from classics like the Living Dead trilogy to modern slasher movies. He fancies himself the next Bruce Campbell, and wishes Peter Jackson would do another zombie movie. Likes: What else? Horror flicks. Oh, and Rob Zombie.
  • Dislikes: Happy endings, censorship
  • Tagline: Be afraid. Be very afraid… Or I’ll eat
Original and humorous touches make the whole owners experience very enjoyable.

The whole package is very well done and oozes quality. A dog tag with limited edition identification, small carabiner, trading card and screen protector are all included in the price.
