Daily Deals: 80% Off iPod touch Cases, Plus Windshield Mounts and HD Adapters



We start off with a trio of Mac-related deals: 80 percent off on iPod touch cases (along with another discount on MP3 accessories) and a bargain on a universal windshield mount for your iPhone or iPod. (While it is not as slick as a Kensington model we profiled earlier or the DIY “Cop Dash Cam”, it is just $4) Our trio of top picks is rounded out by a USB adapter allowing Mac owners to use SATA hard drives.
For details on these and other items (such as the Netgear 5-port Ethernet switch), check out CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the break.
