Billed as the ultimate anti-theft device for your iPod or iPhone, Hide-a-Pod is a modified Zune case, gutted and hinged in order to conceal your iGadgets.

Welcome to the Anti-Social

You made a smart choice in choosing an iPod. And now you can protect it from theft and still enjoy using it in public with the new Hide-a-Pod anti-theft case.

It’s really very simple. Just tell us what iPod model you want to protect and we provide a gutted and hinged Zune with our custom molded iPod casing adapter. We also include a custom cable from the Zune’s controls (see FAQ) and audio output jack that you simply plug into your iPod. No iPod modifications are necessary.

The idea isn’t entirely a new one. People have used ugly “covers” for years to disguise their fashionable leather luggage and protect it from would-be thieves in airports. I’ve used them myself. So it was only a matter of time before someone provided a way to keep sticky hands from your iPods and iPhones — by making them look like Zunes!

Okay, let me come clean; there isn’t really such a product. It’s just another “joke” website aimed at poking a little fun at Microsoft, the idea being that, while iPods are thief-magnets, the Zune is a big brown box which nobody wants. Had ya’ going for a minute, though, didn’t I? It’s a working site with some pretty funny sections. Go ahead and explore.

*iPod and iPhone are registered trademarks of Apple and Zune is a registered trademark of Microsoft. Hide-a-Pod is not associated with them in any way. This is all just a big gag and you couldn’t order a Hide-a-Pod if you wanted to. So there. (But check out the T-shirt!)
