I seem to have missed the memo declaring that second-gen iPod nanos long for lopsided ears and angel wings made of silicone. Good thing Boomwave is on top of it, though, because otherwise their new Bearaphim series of silicone skins may have never seen the light of day. And what would the world be like without Arcticlaw, Ursa Miner, Drizzly, Paw-a-Tree, Eyestein, and Flambear (pictured), the "Angels of Amplitude?"

Priced at $19.90, each member of the "Fellowship of the Fast and Furries" is armed with a screen protector, removable click-wheel protector, and neck strap. The Bearaphims even have their own profiles, complete with a personality blurb, likes and dislikes, and a tagline. For example, Flambear is the Angel of Frying Pans who likes deep-fried Chinese food, dislikes wet blankets and cold water, and lives by the creed "Am I hot, or am I HOT?!?" Very good to know.
