ZUNE%20COLLAGE.jpg

If you've been following the tech industry over the past few years, you would know that getting into the iPod accessory market is a lucrative business model. Obviously ezGear has been following it closely, because the company will be introducing a variety of accessories for the (soon-to-be) biggest casualty in the personal music player business: the Zune.

The ezView leather case will protect your Zune from anything (or anyone) you might throw at it. The high grade leather case will support a clear screen protector and easy click-wheel access. It comes with two rubber feet so you can leave it standing up on its own, and includes a magnetic closure, business card pouches, top and bottom access to the player, and a Velcro belt strap. The leather case will run you $39.98 and will be available next week.

Continuing on with the protection theme, ezGear has also announced the ezSkin. The ezSkin includes a clear hard plastic screen protector, a removable belt clip and neck strap, and a wrist band. The anti-dust coated ezSkin will ship for $29.98, and will be available this month.

Check out more on ezGear's up-and-coming Zune accessories, after the jump.

In case your Zune runs out of juice, ezGear is also introducing the powerStick, which sports an on/off switch and an LED indicator to let you know it's working. The stick takes 4 AA batteries and can increase your use time by 3 to 4 times. Just like the ezSkin, the powerStick will cost $29.98 and will be available later this month.

Next, is the ezTrip FM transmitter. The transmitter includes an LCD display, access to FM frequencies between 87.7 and 107.9, and will come with a coiled cable to keep your wires in order. The transmitter takes its power from the DC socket in your car so it won't drain on the Zune's battery, and will come in your choice of black or white. The transmitter is on sale today, and costs $44.98.

And last (for this post at least), is the ezVision Video iWear. Like the myvu for the iPod, the ezVision simulates a 50-inch screen at an 8.5 foot distance right in front of your eyes. The goggles tip the scales at a mere 68 grams and include built-in stereo earphones, an 8-hour rechargeable lithium ion battery, and can be plugged directly into the Zune. Unlike the cheaper accessories above, the ezVision goggles will make you want to cry when you see the $399.98 price tag. But if you're really into video goggles (but who really is?), go pick a pair up today.
