The XZABADY (crazy name, eh, crazy guys?) is a frame-shaped iPod dock with FM radio that you can park your player in to make it waterproof. The player connects via an audio jack, and you can customize the background with a picture of your loved one—maybe they look better with an iPod superimposed on top of them—and then press down on the silicon rubber sheet to seal. XZABADY: truly a byword for fugtional; where fug meets function. [Trends in Japan]

Designed to be either freestanding or hung up from that hook in the shower cubicle that up until now didn't have a purpose, it "suggests a playful life attitude," according to the blurb on the company website. Aimed at puppies, then. [Aqua through Google Translate]
