I know that there have been threads about iPod cases in the past, but I just wanted to give my impressions of this company quickly.

I have just bought a new iPod and was looking for a case for it, but I'm not into these leather jobs, that are over engineered... I just wanted something to protect if from scratches in my bag and I couldn't be happier with my choice.

It's simple yet functional!

Here's a quick pic.

If I were you, I'd buy some sort of a screen and wheel protector. I wouldn't want to get that screen scratched by anything.

I thought about that... is there anything that is VERY thin and inconspicuous though?

I also have two foofbags. Both of them are made of kimono material and VERY nice. Too bad I had to import all the way from Australia, but hey......what can you do?

I have to agree the kimono fabric looked great, but not very masculine!

Thanks.. they look pretty good, although they want to charge me $50 to ship to the UK for something that will fit in an envelope!

UPDATE - Emailed the company and they agreed to ship the items to me in the UK FREE OF CHARGE!!

They are on their way already.

I am old enough now that I don't worry about how someone else views my masculinity.

TrendyGeek.com has a very nice iPod screen and case protector. The iPod Shield is a very thin skin that uses static cling to stick to your iPod. Because it's a static cling, you can remove it, wash it, and stick it back on. They're very cheap and work very well.

Only problem with it being static is that it would probably slide off when I get my ipod in and out of the foofpod.

Probably not.

I keep my iPod in an Arnette sunglass bag and it's fine. The TrendyGeek is a good product, mine's been on my iPod for a year now.

Any plastic covering advertised for use on one type of device works on others.

I still have a dozen sheets of a screen protector I bought for my Newtons (still running, BTW) and have used them on my iPod, my digital camera screens, etc. After a week or so any tiny bubbles trapped under the layer bleed out and it looks perfect.

Do *not* use contact paper, though. Its adhesive will not come off. Use something specifically sold as a stick-on screen protector.

Yep.
