Apple ipod Carry Case

RE/
>Or should I get the standard Ipod case.

I think it depends on how you will use the iPod.

My standard case was bundled with the device, so I wound up using that one.
I like it because:

1) The iPod has never even come close to slipping out - albiet you'd darn well
better have a safety lanyard from the clip to a belt loop because it *will* come
unclipped from time-to-time.

2) I don't have to lock the iPod when it's in the case. The buttons never get
pushed accidentally. This means that to operate it, I just slide it up and out
and operate it held in one hand - then slip it back in. When I want to stop
it, I hit Pause; then lock it.


Somebody at work trashed their standard case - couldn't make it work for them.
They opted for a rubbery thing that semi-permanently encases the iPod and allows
a view of the screen at all times. So I guess it depends on how you use the
thing.

$39? Geeze!!!!

I like the cases I've had from XTreme Mac. Plus, their customer support
is excellent.

I use mine at the gym, so the Marware Sportsuit Convertable was perfect for
me. Includes an armband and a belt-clip. You can access the click wheel
without the clamshell top, or use the top and make it very durable.

I have been very happy with my Showcase from Contour.
(http://www.contourshowcase.com)

The Showcase is made from a durable plastic (ABS, I think) and comes in
8 colors (including iPod white).

Although it has yet to happen to me , if it were in one of these cases,
I strongly suspect my iPod could easily survive a four foot drop on a
concrete floor.
