We never knew iPods could be modified to gross some and freak others out, until we caught a glimpse of the Victrola Eyepod amazing creation. We don’t recommend second looks for the faint-hearted, for this mod can seriously give you the creeps. Inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Doctor Grymm (yes, that’s what the designer calls himself) has used a motley mix of materials (old typewriters, formed brass and steel, leather and quartz crystals) to put together a contraption that you wouldn’t have envisaged even in your wildest dreams – a gigantic eye popping out from the iPod controller section, and a crystal ball (?) replacing the comparably delectable screen; all resting on a steampunk victrola base with a blaring horn (we certainly hope there are no eerie tunes played for the additional effect).  Good news, though. It plays like your regular iPod so you can handpick your own tunes.

The Eye-Pod can also be worn around the wrist with the help of the leather cuff included at the rear, if you are fine being perceived as a weirdo that is! We also hear that Doctor Grymm is planning a more conventional ‘hearing apparatus’ for his creation. Well, that should give us some respite. All said and done, objectively speaking, this is one fine handiwork. We should give the designer some credit for his incredulous thought process, however unpleasant to the gut it might be!

For other eccentric iPod based designs, check out the iPod Touch Robot, Steampunk iPod and the iPod Bread Design, the Breadpod.

The Eye Pod Victrola iPod Dock Tests The Strength Of Your Gut

This is a very unique hack that could actually be applied to pretty much any gadget you have that has a wrist or neck strap and a battery case. A Japanese hacker has put his iPod Shuffle clone inside a Wii remote.

The hacker has managed to put a cool iPod into the compressed space of the Wiimote battery pack. Here is a very cool pic of the hacker himself and if you would notice he has only one arm, but I assure you that it did not happen during the hacking process.

The clear message to the kids is that one should not try modding gadgets on their own, do it in the supervision of an adult. You can also try out the cool Black Wii for all the Wii fun in Black or the Hemp Wiimote Mod.

iPod Wiimote Mod is Pretty Ingenious

If you ever wondered what do you get when you cross an iPod Touch owner with an ardent World of Warcraft fan, then here is your answer: an iPod touch WoW theme! And this creative world of Warcraft theme for the iPod by Hany0r is the perfect example of this.

In this crazy mod, the programmer allegedly hacked his iPod, upgraded the firmware, used the WiFi and a couple of software and bang…you get an iPod that’s completely revamped and suites the taste of majority of gamers. All in all, I must not forget to appreciate the choice of icons used in the user interface; absolutely great. I just wish that this user is generous enough to not sell this theme and share it for free over the internet. Till then, you can take a look at the weird iPod stuff like the iPod breadpod, which will make your taste buds active and the Retro Apple iPod Walkman mod that takes you back in time.

World of Warcraft Theme for iPod Touch

The multi-national companies make a huge profit every year by manufacturing these simple to build items such as iPhone cases and selling them to customers at a very high price. Our friend has now demonstrated to us, how simple and effective this home-made iPod mod could be, not only is it cool but also a way to recycle our old junk. The useless cassette tape that just lies around the house; all thanks to the iPod, will now be re-utilized in serving the new God of portable music as their personal footstools. In these tough days when both the economical and ecological balance of the world is disturbed, let us do our part and help make the world a better place to live in.

But if you are one of those rich and lazy geeks who do not want to work a drop of sweat, let alone make their own i-case, you can have a look at this cool Retro iPod case and lend the multi national companies a helping hand.

A Cassette Case For The iPod Nano

This bacon bits case is from Etsy is great for music and Bacon lovers. The bacon look gives the perfect illusion of being a slice of meat and the texture of the case completes the feeling.

After the iPhone bacon case, a miniature iPod shuffle case is just the thing to add to the collection. Make sure you keep them away from pets though, just in case they get a crunchy bite of your iPod with this juicy casing. It is definitely another weird addition to the variety of casings available these days!

Thanks Jesse for the info!

iPod Shuffle Bacon case

If you always wondered what it was like to be studying robotics and artificial intelligence, you must perhaps learn more about your own iPod touch that constantly blares music. The iPod touch seems to be one helluva brainy gadget as it has been recently used by a Japanese guy to run a robot. While it sounds almost ridiculous, the robot works and it looks pretty cool too.

The robot has been christened Robochan and is a combination of Kondo KHR-2HV robot kit and an iPod touch. iPod is not only used as an interface to control the bot but also to help it with memory and sensors. The robot moves gracefully and taps much to the viewer’s pleasure. You could manipulate and make the robot tap his feet and later play music to make it look like he knows how to dance. If you would like to get your own robot, which taps its feet, you could order the Kondo robot kit.

The kit costs $1,300 and does not come with the iPod of course. It comes with an English programming software, unassembled robot body, and a USB serial cable. However, the kit lacks instructions as to how the iPod touch could be connected. The video looks rather cool and fun. If you are looking for funnier robots, you could try the Probo Robot who goes all green all the time. The Giant Ant Hexapod is something that you would stay away from if you hate insects.

iPod Touch Robot Taps Feet

The iPhone and iPod designs have grabbed the world by storm and Steampunk Art also created a whole array of different mods and creations, so it is great to see the two join forces in a Steampunk iPod mod.

Beautifully created by Neal Bridgens, this unique iPod is a little bit different than standard Steampunk creations. It is made using copper, brass and oak, and because of its current heavy weight, valves cannot be added easily.

Overall it makes for a great iPod case that could get some heads turning, but would you consider it as a regular iPod mod or a Steampunk one?

Steampunk iPod Mod Design

We have seen numerous iPod Designs and iPhone concepts to keep us going for  lifetime, but besides the IcePod Ice Cream Bar, none have looked so tasty.True, this particular iPod design looks a bit more stale and dry, but it still creative, imaginative and can be made with ‘items from your kitchen’…literally.

Edith Zimmerman has showed her rendition of the infamous Apple music player in a simple and crafty food art design that is pretty nifty. It may try to explore how simple the Apple usability or perhaps it could also attempt to show how the older models are not as fancy as we once thought. Overall, simply take this artwork for what it is…a bread made iPod.

iPod Bread Design: Introducing the Breadpod

The iPod has never looked so sweet as it does in the new Apple gadget dessert entitled the IcePod, which combines the design of the iPod with a sweet, chocolate covered Ice-Cream bar.

The new IcePod is perhaps trying to make people fall in love with the iPod again, or allowing the non-fans to take a bite out of Apple. With the complaints of battery replacement, DRM issues and also price, this new iPod is definitely a treat that will give you exactly what you expect…a sweet and tasty (hopefully) Ice-Cream bar.

Well, if you are looking for an iPod replacement that grants a lot less features but with it…less headaches, then this may be it. It can be that last finish at the end of the meal…but the music would be another story.

Edible Gadgets: the iPod IcePod

The iCarta iPod Toilet Roll is an interesting home gadget, which allows you to listen to music when in the bathroom. You would no longer have to listen to the steady drone of water filling your tub while you lay bored and pensive. Moreover, it would certainly be entertaining to listen to your favorite track while enjoying a soothing and calming bath.

The iCarta iPod Toilet Roll could also be used while engaging other tasks in the bathroom, which I leave to your fertile imagination. The device comes with 4 moisture free speakers that are integrated into the device and the resulting quality is clear and flawless.

It even charges your iPod while you play music and it’s Audio Selector allows you to change tracks on iPod shuffle and other audio devices. The device could be mounted on a wall and requires AC power. The device is designed intuitively and the bath tissue holder can be folded to work like a stereo dock. The icarta iPod Toilet Roll costs $59.95.

If you are still looking for other kinds of iPod docks and accessories, you could go ahead and check out a DIY Cardboard iPhone Dock. You may even try the AeroSystem iPod Dock or build your own DIY iPod Dock which we featured sometime ago.
