It is always fun to take your iPhone or iPod Touch and do some crazy things with it that you may not think would be possible.  A perfect example of this is what you can do with it with the bundle of the AMPHIBX Waterproof Armband and SURGE Waterproof Headphones combo from H20Audio.

This is a very interesting combination of products, basically allowing you to go all out with your iPhone or iPod Touch in terms of hitting the water.

Starting out, the AMPHIBX Waterproof Armband allows you to take your iPhone or iPod Touch into up to 12 feet of water.  The same can be said for the headphones.

With that combination, you can freely swim with your device in salt water, or fresh water.

The way in which this works is actually very simple, with a design that is both comfortable, and highly-effective.

The way in which the AMPHIBX Waterproof Armband works is that you unlock this latch, which opens up an area where you can plug the armband into the headphone jack of the iPhone or iPod Touch, and then place the device inside the pouch.

Once in the pouch, you can close the latch and lock it closed, keeping your device completely protected.

There is no limits as to functionality either, as the touch-screen controls work great through the other ClearTouch WIndow, which will allow you to operate your iPhone or iPod Touch freely and easily.

This is not just limited to an iPhone though, as it will likely work with all types of MP3 players, we tested it effectively with an older iPod with a click-wheel, and it also worked quite well.

The connector, for those wondering, will work with any 3.5mm headphone jacks, and worked perfectly with all models of the iPhone we tested, both the original and the 3G model.

The design is very comfortable and fashionable, making for a great device to be used while water-skiing, wakeboarding, or just lounging in a pool comfortable with some personal tunes.

The armband has the ability to be adjusted meaning it will fit just about any arm size as well, no matter how big or small for the most part.

The armband is extremely durable and can take a beating.  I took some very rough falls with this thing wakeboarding and it did not fall off my arm, and the seal remained very tight.

Getting onto the headphones, they are just as impressive, making for an unbelievable package for those who want to have some fun in the water.

The SURGE Waterproof Headphones worked exceptionally well, pumping out some great clarity and bass, even when completely submersed under the water.

They come with a carry case, as well as separate sizes of earplugs, 5 of them in total, to be able to fit just about any ear size.

H20Audio has an amazing package here,  and anyone who wants to enjoy some tunes in the water without having to worry about breaking your expensive device, this is a must-buy.
