Now that summer is approaching we all start to get out of hibernation and start heading for the water. Summer is about beaches, bathing suits and iPods. Here is the Uber-Review for anything that allows you to swim with your little white friend, the iPod.

The Otterbox

the gadgeteer
“if you want to protect your iPod from moisture and dirt, this is the probably the best solution so far.”
“Cons:Membrane over display tends to stick to it, making the display slightly difficult to read, Bulky”

“The Good: Extremely Protective, Great Construction, Access to Click Wheel, Simple.
The Bad: Looks could be improved, Price is high however the oPod is worth the price for what you are getting.”
Score: A-

ipodlounge
“The Good: Everything short of waterproof iPod 4G and photo protection in a quality hard plastic case, including screen protection and membrane-covered control access, improved from last year’s model. Optional armband works well, looks good.
The Bad: Is water resistant but not waterproof, belt clip is only okay, price remains on the very high end for a plastic case.”
Score: A-

Lilipod

“The Good: Nice iPod-matching style, very protective of the iPod against water, shock, and other harm.
The Bad: No access to screen or controls (even wired remote) when case is sealed, opening mechanism exposes iPod to potential scratch damage. ”
Score: B+

extremeipod
“We tested it in a hot tub and found it made an ideal defense against splashing water. Just don’t get your head wet: Having water in your ears really messes up the headphones’ sound quality.”
Score 4 out of 5

“for waterproof protection, the LiliPod is currently the best game in town.”
Score: 5 out of 5

Different District
“The case works, and works perfectly. It gives you a great sense of protection, for it is constructed out of thick plastic, and comes together nicely. I even consider using it as a day-to-day iPod case.”
Score 4 out of 5

Tunewear waterwear

ipodlounge
“The Good: A simple, inexpensive way to water-guard your iPod mini during typical daily exposure to the elements and possible drop/crush damage, while gaining full access to its screen and controls. Includes decent strap and armband, smart rubberized headphone connector plug.
The Bad: No guarantees of waterproof design mean that “WaterWear” cases can’t be worn in the water without some fear; no belt clip option.
Score:B+ “
