Daily deal – Kensington iPod and iPhone battery pack for $26.24 (after rebate)

by Scott Carmichael on

My daily deal for today is for a product I reviewed last year. The Kensington Mini battery pack and charger for iPod and iPhone is (as the name implies), a portable backup battery pack for your iPod or iPhone.

The device can charge off any USB charger or USB port, and comes complete with a retractable miniUSB charging cable.

The battery pack can add up to about 30 hours of music playtime, 6 hours of video, or 3 hours of talk time. To start charging your device, you simply plug the battery pack into the dock connector of your iPod.

When I wrote my review, this product retailed for about $47. It has since come down in price, and is on sale at Buy.com for $36.24. The deal gets even sweeter once you apply the Kensington $10 rebate to your purchase.

The rebate form is valid for purchases made till January 11th, so don’t wait too long. Buy.com will ship the unit for free.

iStik magnetic iPod case now available for the new iPod Nano

by Scott Carmichael on

Back in September I reviewed the iStik magnetic iPod case. Of course, at the rate Apple releases new players, it was only a matter of time until the cases I reviewed became obsolete, so iStik worked hard on getting cases designed for the newest player.

The iStik case for the 4th generation iPod nano is now available to order, and will ship this Friday.

The case features the same magnetic clip system as the one I reviewed and costs $24.99 plus $2.99 for shipping.

As a quick refresher, the iStik case consists of a polycarbonate case for your iPod, and a plastic back plate with super strong magnets to hold the case in place on your jacket or other garment.

Daily deal – Polk Audio portable iPod speaker dock for $30

by Scott Carmichael on

My daily deal for today is for the Polk Audio miDock iPod speaker dock. This stylish portable iPod speaker is powered by 4 AA batteries, or the included AC adapter.

The miDock is only 100% compatible with the 5th generation iPod. Other iPod versions like the 2nd and 4th generation Nano will play, but they will not charge. The iPhone and the iPod touch don’t fit at all, and will need to be connected to the aux input jack of the speaker.

So, if you have a 5th generation iPod, this is a great way to get a high quality speaker dock for under $30 ($29.99). The miDock is on sale at Woot.com, which means you only have till the end of inventory or the end of the day, whichever comes first. Shipping is $5.

Included in the box is the speaker, an assortment of iPod adapters, a carrying case and an AC adapter.

Daily deal – iPod travel kit for $14

by Scott Carmichael on

My daily deal for today is perfect for all your iPod/ owners. This Cables2Go travel kit contains 4 separate items, neatly packed away in a pocket leather case.

Inside the case is an AC charger, DC (car) charger, retractable headphones and a retractable USB/Firewire charger cable. The cables will work on all iPod models with a dock connector, but the specifications say it is not compatible with the first, second and third generation iPod. Essentially this means that it will work on any iPod that plays video, and all the Nano versions.

The kit will most likely not work with the iPhone or iPod Touch. At $13.99 this is quite a good deal, and a great way to carry all the parts you need to keep your iPod charged anywhere you have AC or DC power. The user reviews do point out that the headphones are pretty poor, so don’t expect them to replace your current iPod headphones.

The Cables2Go iPod charging kit is available from buy.com, and shipping is free.
