iPod Case Suggestions? - microchip13 - 09-17-2006
So, as you may or may not know, I've got a 30 Gig 5th Gen iPod on it's way, and am looking for a case.
My 3rd Gen I originally had an iSkin for it, but it was too bulky and too big. I then moved up to a very good combonation(IMO) some clear film protectors for the screen and back and an iPod sock(Yes, I had an iPod sock).
My Nano I simply used the sock.
I know the new ones come with that little sleeve, but they're kinda lame and generic and don't come in colors like the socks.
I don't want something that turns my iPod into a huge wrecking ball of maddness.
iPods are small, I don't want it any bigger and thus am leaning towards getting another film protector thing.
Suggestions?
TiA.

I just bought a 60GB iPod and bought the Contour Showcase to go with it. I don't think it's too bulky, but that's just me. It's a lot easier to removie the iPod from that than from any of the silicone cases.

If you like a sock or cloth case then make one in the color of your choice. It means sewing three seams and turning it inside out.
Cost: about 25¢
If you can;t sew, ask some retired woman, they almost all sew

I can sew. I'm just contemplating if I'd want to.
I'd have to get some fabric.
I don't like fabric stores, they scare me.
