Re: [CGUYS] iPod cases
The other problem I had with it is that the screw that holds the case on the belt loop pulls out and it fell off my belt. I've been using the same iPod and case for 6 years now. To me the security of the clip is the #1 issue. In all that time I have never had a problem with the clip on my iPod case. But I was less careful with the cell phone clip I bought. It fell off my belt several times and I eventually lost the cell phone. I now have a new cell phone clip that I expect will be sufficiently secure. I went back to the place where I bought my case and I see they are selling something that looks identical to my case today, except I see the clip is not as sturdy. Looks like the clip on my ill-fated cell phone case. The good clip was held shut by a spring (similar to a clothes pin) and had a hook on the end that had two 90° bends. The closest to that kind of clip that I see today is the design Apple uses on the Shuffle. That is a great design and I would not settle for less. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

I bought my cases at the dollar store. Last year's $30 case is $1-5 this year. I like the silicone rubber cases for protection [iPod bounces, doesn't break], except the belt clips don't work well since the case is stretchy rubber. One of the cases has openings to slip a belt through. I'm using a white translucent XTreme Mac case. It doesn't have screen protection [some do], so I cut a piece of the clear plastic blister pack slightly larger than the screen--the rubber case holds it in place--works much better than expected. These cases make it less likely that the iPod will fall out of your pocket. The Griffin attachments should work OK with the rubber cases, but I had to cut one to fit a 40GB iPod into a dock. I bought Bob a 3-pack of the ugliest XTreme Mac cases at Dollar Tree--rust, grey and snot green--they bounce, too.

Re: [CGUYS] iPod cases
nearly 2 years when I got my 4G iPod, I picked a $10/$20 mini-digital camera case (at Best Buy, IIRC) with velcro closure and a velcro belt loop. It also has a small pouch on on front under main flap where I keep my ear buds. It has padding so the little sucker has been safe so far. It's made by Lowepro and is something like this one - http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Camera_Pouches/designed_digital/D-Pods_10.aspx YMMV -- I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. - Douglas Adams * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] iPod cases
I have several different iPod cases for various activitiesand because I like to decorate mine. g iSkin makes many types but I've used the rubberized ones that come with a screen protector and wheel protector. You can even get those (the protectors) in varying colors if you like variety. They've been very durable BUT...as others have mentioned, the belt clip breaks eventually or slips off. They also make a hard plastic, clear case with a kick stand so it will sit up for watching video. I haven't used it but do use a similar one by another company on my Lifedrive and like it a lot. It has protected my Lifedrive well over a couple of years of drops and bumps. http://www.covercase.com/product_detail.php? pid=585gclid=CK_0kZeFvY4CFR6QIgodch38zA I also have the iFrogzanother rubber one that has bands that encircle the edge of the iPod...mainly decorative but it does cover the slot for the dock and keeps dirt out. It comes off easily but is still a PITA if you dock and undock frequently. From that company I also purchased my favorite casea metal one lined in rubber. Looks great, really protects the iPod but..the belt clip broke offthe screw actually broke in half. I tried using it just in my pocket or slipped in my waist band but the metal is slick so it was always slipping out. http://ifrogz.com/ I like this one because you wear it around your neck and can stick it inside your shirt when working in a wet or messy environment. I use it for gardening. http://www.thegadgetlocker.com/product_info.php/products_id/1493? osCsid=a3ca8caa91909c6f3926af37e78dd768 This is the clear case I use on my LIfedrive. VERY well made and durable. I like it a lot and if I eventually get the new iPhone-like iPod, I'll probably get this one for it. http://www.otterbox.com/ And if you really want to have fun with your iPodor know someone who does, this is a great site: http://www.istyles.com/ Paula/IN/USA raven880atindy.net * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] iPod cases
I use this case from Belkin http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=367153. It is really tough with a rubber back and a thick clear plastic front. It will take a 30GB or a 60GB There is a hole which is just big enough for the sync/charger cable at the bottom and two on the top for jack and hold button. It is a pain in the butt to get the iPod out of it but you should not need to often. The other problem I had with it is that the screw that holds the case on the belt loop pulls out and it fell off my belt. Super glue fixed that. I also had the face get scratched up so I am on my second one but one of the screen covers would protect the case as well as the screen. I'm fairly hard on this stuff but this one has survived over a year and the iPod still looks like new.
