I saw a thread about the iPod touch cases, so here this one is. I just bought this from Amazon:
DLO Case
I met a person at the ATT store today with one and it was rock solid. The phone didn't move around inside the case at all, unlike the cheap case I tried out.
What's everyone using?

I don't use a case since I found the phone to be quite durable on its own if treated reasonably. In fact, the biggest scratches on my phone were *from* a case. That was because small particles of whatever would get caught between the case and the phone creating a much bigger gouge than one could ever achieve by simply brushing it up against something.
Though, I have to say this case looks interesting since it appears that the way the case makes contact with the phone is through these little silicone dots. It looks like there is enough space in between them so that dust wont get caught so this might be a winner.

I have an Incipio dermaSHOT skin right now that I will be returning to the AT&T store once I get a couple cases in a few weeks (I'm reviewing them, so they're free).
I like this one: http://www.senacases.com/Brands/iPho...-FOR-iPHONE-3G
I'm a fan of non-rubber, non-plastic cases. I want something that's comfortable to hold, but the silicone/rubber ones get all linty and cat-hairy, so I'm not a big fan of them.
I'll let you know if the Sena case is any good...$42 is a decent price for a leather case, considering that a lot of silicone or plastic cases are $20-$30.

Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

I use a skin: bestskinsever.com. Hard to put on the phone, but once you get it, you don't even think about it. I got it because the phone is really very slippery.
From there, I alternate between just putting it in my pocket or using DLO's Nylon Hipcase.

I recommend bestskinsever too. The plastic eventually needs to be replaced, but they're cheap.

Do you have the Revo2? I didn't like the first one because the rubber interfered with the space-bar of my keyboard. Does this one have the same thick rubber down in that area?
Otherwise, nice find - I really like the look of this case.

I have the first one. Now that you mention it, the casing kind of gets in the way of the space bar but not so much that it's a problem for me. Haven't seen the Revo2 in person. I looked at a lot a cases and this one looks the best, imo.

I was using a Griffin hard case, but the faux leather cover started peeling and also any grit that got into it really gets a chance to do some damage, so now I just go commando. Though I do find the phone harder to hold onto now.

I have special, custom cases for every pair of pants and jackets I own. Over 16 months of everyday use and my iPhone's in great shape!

Hey there, I just got a new iPod and I think I learned the lesson from the last time I used cases, NO more hard cases this time. From what I've seen, soft skins are way better to keep ipods and other Mac devices safe, hard cases ruin the painting and ultimately are more cost than benefit... I'd give a special warning about Speck cases... those are a threat to your ipods cute everlasting surface.
