The Voltage iPod Messenger Bag is a high quality connected bag. These sharp looking bags have Fibretronic CONNECTEDwear controls built in and can control both iPods and iPhones. Featuring Fibretronic’s new controls in its shoulder strap, it now has a click feel to the push.
The five button controls on both bags include the functions: On/Off/Play/Pause, Prev/Next and volume Up/Down. The new Voltage bags work with all 30-pin iPods including iPod touch and iPhone. Currently the Voltage bag controller only operates the iPod part of the iPhone and does not allow to make/answer calls, something that would be on my ‘must have’ list in a next version. Colors are Black/Red, Orange/Pistachio and Beige/Blue. Pony up that $119.00 and get one.
