Maxfield unveil scratch-proof MP3 players

The iPod range of portable music players might be sleek and all, but they seem to be extremely fragile, picking up scratches all too easily. It is no wonder then that there is such a huge market for iPod cases. Maxfield on the other hand, has released a new range of MP3 players under the MAX-IVY brand that are made from scratch-proof black magnesium, keeping your heart beating steadily even after you’ve accidentally grazed the MAX-IVY player against a table or wall. Additional features include blue touch-sensitive controls, compatibility with MP3, WMA, and OGG files, JPEG image support, and lyrics display. You can purchase the 1GB, 2GB and 4GB models for £95, £119 and £169 respectively.
