So I've had my new touch for a week now and I'm already tired of babying it. It's time I take it out and let it see the real world in all of it's glory. Only problem is, without a case, I'm guaranteed to drop it and probably break it, because that kind of stuff happens me.

Now I know it just came out, so cases aren't available right away, but does anyone have any idea of the timeframe for when cases start to come out?? I'm not looking for case recommendations (huge fan of the Contour Showcase), rather a point in time when I should expect to see cases emerging. Any input is appreciated.

hmm... not really what I'm looking for... I'm talking specifically about hard cases contoured to the new shape of the touch and access to the hard volume buttons. anyone have an idea of how long that might take to see?

I'm in the same boat. Need a case for the 2G Touch I just ordered. I did some googling. Don't know what to get really. Fun leather flip case or a fun filled rubbery thing.

Darn. Need case.

Ordered this one last week for my 3G:

Marware CEO Sleeve for 2G iPod Touch

Does its work, but I ordered the invisibleSHIELD for some extra protection.

That does look nice. I have been a long time fan of Marware's laptop cases for quite some time.

But personally, I prefer either a rubbery case or a leather flip case. Something with easy access and that won't get lost. Which is something that I do often enough as is.
