Wear your iPod like a name badge with iStik

When doing activities with your iPod, sometimes it’s hard to find a good place to put it. Your pockets are no good since it can fall out if the activity involves running or jumping. Another option is an arm strap, which I find uncomfortable and distracting.
Well, now there’s a new option called the iStik. It’s a plastic enclosure that has four magnets on the back. It works just like those magnetic name badges. With the enclosure on your iPod Nano (2nd or 3rd generation), you will be able to stick it anywhere on your clothes.
The only thing that worries me about this is the magnet part. I know when I used to wear a name badge, it would fall off sometimes. I guess if this magnet is stronger that might not happen. If it does fail, they should change the name to iSuk.
If you’re interested, you can buy this bad boy at iStik for $24.95 for 2nd Generation and $26.95 for 3rd Generation.

Or with the weight of the iPod it will slide around when you move…

NO WAY!!! This thing is awesome! I just picked one up and met the owners of the company at the OR in Salt Lake. I have been using it to run with instead of my armband and it so strong. The thing does not move!! I even wear it on my hat!

They should probably call it the Snatch ‘N’ Run Clip.

Haha Snatch n’ Run. That’s what I was thinking too. But I guess you could always put the magnet plate backing on the outside and the iPod on the inside of your clothes if you are in an area where you would have to worry about that.

The Istik is awesome. I have been using it for about a year and it has never fallen off. The magnets are super strong. I have tried almost every Ipod accessory and the Istik is far superior.
