Eleksen Portable Music Player Case for iPod on Display at MacWorld; Functional and Stylish Audio Case Now Available in the U.S.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Eleksen Ltd., the world leader in touch sensitive interactive textiles for electronics interface design, is showcasing its distinctive Audio Case at the MacWorld Conference and Exposition in San Francisco, CA which runs though January 13. The case is the perfect accessory product for MP3 players, from the iPod(R) to a host of other audio players.

Eleksen has developed the only MP3 player case with external volume controls for both headphones and speakers. OEMs can customize this unique product, taking advantage of the booming portable music player market.

The audio case comes in two formats: one for controlling any MP3 player with a standard audio output jack and one with 5-button remote controls for iPod supporting Play/Pause, Track Forward, Track Back, Volume Up, Volume Down and iPod ON/OFF. Eleksen can also customize the audio case to manage any audio device with a standard remote control interface.

Fully compatible with portable audio devices that support 3.5mm headphone output, the Eleksen audio case is ideal for portable devices that store music in MP3, WMA, WAV, ATRAC or HDD formats. It incorporates volume control, integrated speakers, a built-in 3.5mm audio headphone socket, automatic power-save function to prolong battery life and a handy belt clip.

The product's smart fabric scroll volume controls enables operation via a simple finger scroll along the volume controls or a press and hold volume capability. Music fans can listen to the radio or their favorite tracks via a built-in standard 3.5mm audio headphone socket on the spine of the case, or use the integrated speaker to enjoy music with friends.

"Our audio case with ElekTex Scroll volume controls is a must-have accessory for MP3 players, iPods and other types of audio players," said Gemma Kilburn, product manager for the audio case. "We've designed this product for OEMs to make it easy for them to private label our standard solution for a quick retail hit or to incorporate our ElekTex smart fabric controls into their own consumer bag products for iPod and other audio devices."
