Protect Your iPhones, iPads and iPods From Kids Toys

This holiday season is supposed to be the year of the “app”. Not that it isn’t already. Just take a look at any public place where kids are bored out of their minds waiting for the parental units to finish doing whatever it is parents do. What will you see? iDevices. You know, iPhones, iPads and iPods.

The toy industry no longer wants to sit idly by. This year, you’ll see entire sections of your local store dedicated to physical toys that interact with smart devices. And guess what? The device of choice will be the ones that Apple makes.

So guess what? Your hand me down (you will be getting the new iPhone when on the rumored announcement date of September 12th, yes?) still needs to be protected! You don’t want to hear it smashing to bits when it falls to the floor do you?

Fisher-Price is making a move to offer attractive and gender specific colors to cover your loved ones. And by loved ones, I mean your Apple devices.

I was able to spot them in the wild this week and I took some pictures.

Before we dig in, I want to let you in on a little secret. Doing what I do, I’m often asked around this time of the year… What should I get NOW so I’m not frustrated to find it sold out later? If this post strikes a chord, then, I’d say this is something for you to consider. I feel very strong that the color specific (pink for girls and blue for boys) cases will be selling very well. Case in point, Amazon is out of stock of pink as I write this.

If you want to get a head start, you can buy them online at a small discount :
