At the time, iPod cases came in three or four primary colors. With its three-piece iPod case design, iFrogz cases make it possible to customize colors and design elements.[6]

Some of the recent iFrogz products were highlighted on television[7][8] and radio,[9] including new Swerve case, which combines two cases in one, and their dual AC/12 volt, dual USB charger, customized iPod cases, etc.
A 2010 set of made-to-order custom headphones, including Fallout, NervePipes, and Hype joined their EarPollution line. iFrogz also offers, said to be the first, iPod case for kids - the Tadpole, toddler-friendly silicon case that easily converts any video iPod to a children’s education and portable entertainment device.[10]
iFrogz Audiowrapz case for the 3G iPod nano includes both a protective skin and a set of speakers for iPod Nano.[11][12][13][14]
Several products from the Ear Pollution line were featured on ABC News,[15] Mac Observer[16] and other resources.
In March 2010, iFrogz launched its Comfort Series,[17] including a said to be comfortable set of headphones called the CS40s headphones.[18][19][20]
In August 2010, iFrogz released its iPhone 4 cases.[21]
In addition to iPod and iPhone cases, iFrogz manufactures skin protection for iPad and has also branched out to create cases for a wider variety of Apple products,[22] as well as protection for the Microsoft Zune.[23]
