Dude, I love the toilet paper holder.

I've never tried to use the clickwheel on my ipod with gloves on, but I'm guessing there is a very real chance that it may not like a glove. In which case ipod compatible handwear makes sense. If I still commuted daily into Manhattan I'd probably want my gloves to be ipod compatible so I wouldn't have to bother taking them off while waiting for the express bus. The last two items on that list almost seem like product placement, get people talking about the gloves and the stickypad (which is usefull in cars or trucks where there is not a good place to put a tethered ipod while driving). I'm just surprised therre wasn't a hello kitty ipod based vibrator on the list.

I think the bathroom one is pretty amusing, it could be pretty useful too, screw the paper I'm bringing my iPod!The belt buckle looks very practical too as does the wallet. Hell they were almost all okay.

@redog & Djanvkthat was the same product I was thinking of. Personally I think gthe belt buckle is almost stylish and the sticky pad is incredibly handy, not odd.

Haha...those gloves are actually a good idea. I wouldn't have to try navigating the menus with my nose every winter! Think I'll pass on the toilet paper dispenser...

I think it's a stupid idea in the winer--you're not supposed to operate the iPod below freezing.

Yea, some of these ideas are awesome! I would buy the belt but I have an ipod 5g not the mini :( The stick pad is also pretty cool, how is that odd?? All it does is hold your ipod for you when your driving, some of these accesories don't deserve to be on this list.
