idox Flies the Friendly Skies

Friday, August 27th, 2010

If you’re familiar with the idox Traveler Series, then you may already know how it was created. Frustrated trying to watch a movie from his iPhone during a long flight, creator Vic Mahoney came up with the idox – making it easy for frequent fliers everywhere to watch movies more easily.

One such frequent flier is Gailen David, also known as “The Sky Steward.” As an airline travel expert, we were thrilled to send Gailen an idox Traveler Series case for his journeys. Apparently, he was equally as thrilled to receive it!

Recently, Gailen sat down with Today in South Florida, airing on NBC 6 in Miami, and shared the idox Traveler Series as one of his favorite things. You can see the clip here. Here are some great screen shots as well:

Next time you decide to fly the friendly skies – don’t forget your idox!

The idox hard case is as brilliant as it is simplistic. When closed, it is a really sturdy hard case for your device, and when you open it, it turns into an angled viewing base. This is of course perfect for watching a movie, or using your iPhone as an alarm clock. It provides the kind of protection you need for your iPhone or iPod touch when you pop it in your bag.

PCMag.com also included the idox Traveler Series in its article, “Last Minute Tech Stocking Stuffers” but you don’t have to wait – you can get yours now! Doesn’t it feel good to plan ahead?

Win an idox Traveler Case!

Friday, July 30th, 2010

It’s always exciting when we see bloggers share positive feedback about the idox Traveler Series with their readers. In this case, Ally from The Mommy Diaries isn’t just sharing her great review – she also has four iPod Nano idox cases to give away!

Here is part of the hands-on review from The Mommy Diaries:
What I really love about the case is how it turns into a stand. I’ve used it in the office to listen to music. My daughter watches her videos on it. It helps keep her hands away from the screen. It’s also pretty light, so doesn’t add too much weight. And it looks like it can survive a few drops.

Two of the cases will be given away during Blogmania, and there’s still time to enter!

Try and win an iPod Nano idox Traveler by following the directions seen on her post: http://budurl.com/MommyDiaries

Good luck!

The idox Traveler Series is made of ABS grade plastic; tough and rigid enough to withstand drops and tumbles. When the case is closed, it protects the whole iPhone, including the screen, from scratches and dents.

The idox Traveler Series is especially great for traveling—just flip it open for an iPhone stand to hold your iPhone as a GPS system on roadtrips, or view videos and pictures during long flights.

We love our iPods too, but this editor REALLY loves his iPod Touch – to the point where he claims he would propose marriage if he could!

It’s a good thing he found the idox Traveler Series case. We don’t want to see how depressed he would be if anything bad ever happened to his Touch!

Check out what Michael at The Cleveland Scene as to say about the idox:

I love my iPod Touch. If I were allowed to marry it, I would. Seriously. But I hate looking at videos on it since my hand cramps after holding it a few minutes. This cool new gadget keeps your Touch, Nano or iPhone upright and stationary so you can watch Lord of the Rings without feeling like you spent three hours in hand-to-hand combat with Dark Lord Sauron.

If you love your iPod or iPhone as much as him – better get an idox Traveler Series case ASAP!

Check out what KouponKaren had to say about idox in her Father’s Day gift guide:


This works perfectly and I love being able to put my iPod right next to my laptop while working.  It’s very sturdy and it fits perfectly.  Great for a traveling dad to use on a plane, or even a train.  Great for a teen too while in the car, not driving of course.

Mom Cooks:
This food blogger, and mother of three, found the idox incredibly convenient in the kitchen, saying:

“I think being able to look up recipes right on my phone is so convenient, no more having to print them out and then keep track of a pile of loose papers. The other thing I like about the idox is that it’s designed and manufactured in Wisconsin. Made in the USA is always a plus with me! “

idox, LLC—Our Story

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

idox, LLC, distributes the idox Traveler Series internationally through our headquarters here in Madison, Wisconsin. The Travelers Series, a hard case and stand, is specially designed for using your iPod or iPhone while traveling.

Here’s how we got started:

idox founder Vic Mohoney, like any dad, grew tired of his kids dropping and breaking their iPods. With each new iPod purchase, he grew more and more frustrated as he stared at the retail wall of iPod cases.  The cases did not protect the iPod or the iPod’s glass screen from breaking when dropped.

Then Vic noticed something else. While traveling on a long distance flight overseas, he grew tired of holding his iPhone while watching a movie.  Looking around he noticed other travelers were also awkwarldy holding their iPhones and iPods while watch videos or listening to music.

He started to sketch an iPod case design on an airline napkin– a case that would both protect the iPhone and iPod for his kids and provide a stand to watch videos during flights.

From that napkin sketch, the idox Traveler Series was born.

Vic continued to design more and more case solutions.  He started prototypes in his workshop—the first idox Traveler prototype was actually made of wood.  As he refined his designs, he developed a portfolio of designs in plastic prototypes. Then, in the summer of 2009, the idox Traveler Series became a reality.

The patented idox Traveler Series, made of ABS grade plastic, has been on the market for a year now and has seen plenty of media coverage. From the cover of  Skymall Magazine to a feature in Macworld—editors, reviewers and customers like what they see. You may have caught us in a few inflight publications, like Hemispheres and myMidwest. (Seen Below)

You, too, can become part of the idox crew. Head over to the idox store to buy your own idox Traveler Series case before your next flight. Currently the idox Traveler Series is available in platinum, black and pink for the iPhone 3G and 3GS, iPod touch (2nd or 3rd generation) or iPod nano (4th or 5th generation).
