2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Tech and Gadgets

This is the only waterproof case designed for swimmers, making it the ultimate gift for the triathlete on your list. Designed for the current (4th generation) iPod shuffle and waterproof up to 12 feet, it also comes with integrated headphones and goggle loops so you can easily attach the case to swim goggles. If listening to music in the pool won’t kickstart that post-New Year’s tri training routine, we don’t know what else will.
