The long awaited production of the New Dension Active Cradle inserts / Sleeves for the Apple iPhone, Apple iPod Nano 3Gen, Apple iPod iTouch & Apple iPod Classic has finally been completed. The Sleeves attach into the Dension Active Cradle allowing a snug fit for the New iPods. This allows users to incorporate the Active Cradle as part of the iPod Car Kit using the new iPods for the first time with out the need for a passive cradle or holder.

All New Active Cradle Kits are set to include the new sleeves in the distant future, however currently the Active Cradle kit will still be produced with the older iPod Sleeves as the majority of Dension users still have the older iPods.

The Package includes a sleeve for the iPod Touch, iPhone & iPod Nano 3Gen with the iPod Classic also fitting the insert. These are currently on special offer to all iPodcarkitdirect customers for £14.97, this price is set to go up in the near future.
