Pacific Rim Marketing today announced the , a new iPod accessory that integrates an earbud, lanyard (iLanyard), and leather case. The iDiddy is a "Wearable and Tangle Free" integrated combination for the complete range of Apple's currently shipping iPod product line. "These products represent the state of the art in lanyard technology, completely integrating the earbuds into a synthetic leather iLanyard. When not in use, each individual earbud slides into a clip on the iLanyard to prevent tangles. In addition, the iLanyard is adjustable to accommodate the differences in height of each individual wearer." They are in production and scheduled to ship to customers the end of May; iDiddys are available in three colors, Onyx, Mocha and Snow. The iDiddy is available for the Shuffle ($50), Mini ($60), 20GB/Photo ($70), and 3G 20GB iPod ($70).
The cases that attach to the iLanyard are dyed leather calfskin, sewn, hand finished. The hardware accessories that attach the case to the iLanyard are made of rhodium or gold plated jewelry grade brass that have each been designed and molded to perfectly match the attachment roll on the leather cases, according to the company. The lightweight one touch clip that is used to lengthen or shorten the lanyard length is constructed of molded APS, and is plated with either Rhodium or 16K gold coordinated to the iLanyard.
