I just recieved shipment of a contour "showcase" ipod case....first impressions, well made, rubberized back and sides, nice clasp, cheapy feeling belt clip. I plan to use this case in the upcoming snowboarding season and riding my mtn bike. But my first impression is good case. I do admit that it really sucks to have this nice new, thin, ipod, and putting it in a case that pretty much doubles the thickness. but my wife has an iskin on her pod and it also (even though thinner) makes her ipod seem chunky.ahhhh the price we pay for protection.
