Let's be honest, here: they're selling this as an iPod holder for kids, but why should kids have all the fun? And who wouldn't want a primary-coloured holder with two easy-to-use handles? If you do want to give an iPod to a toddler, though (to hell with all those people who say too much TV is bad for them!), The Tadpole is your knight in shining armour. Or neon rubber, rather. With a protective plastic screen and "rugged" case with extra shock-absorption, it'll protect the iPod from those little "accidents", while those big handles on the side make it easier to hold. It's $19.99 and is available to order now, although it won't ship until November 1st.

I think The Tadpole is great! It's a great holder and protector for kids.
I'll be damned if a kid of mine (or a relative's) even handles a $300 gadget. They can damage their hearing on their own earnings, when they're older.
My two girls ages 8 and 5 love it! I set up my ipod full of music, movies, and educational TV we pick out together and then they watch together or trade it back and forth. It's made air travel a breeze. and the case keeps me from worrying about it getting cracked in the process. ifrogz.com also sells kids style headphones and the newest iPod update lets you adjust the maximum volume so I don't worry about their hearing.
I'm sort of worried about the commenter who wouldn't let their kids near an expensive thing, how will they ever learn to be careful if you never give them the chance?
