iPod case

[Conny!]

I have just bought a new 10gig iPod. And being the budget version i don't have the nifty accessories which i really don't care about except for the case. I've had my iPod for about 4 days and it already a little scratched up.

Does anyone know of some generic cases because the apple ones are just way too expensive. I was thinking of cutting up a stubby holder and sewing that together but it might be too fat.
Thanks

check ebay, I did a search not long ago for ipod stuff and found all kinds of cool shit for them that people are selling on ebay, well worth it.

This might be what you're after maybe:

Belkin Clear Case (http://www.ht.com.au/Scripts/xworks.exe?PART:L0543#Tof) or maybe this (http://www.ht.com.au/Scripts/xworks.exe?PART:J3590#Tof).

I've got the belt clip one (its standard on the nicer iPods) - I'd sell it to you, but I have no idea where i put it.

I picked up a clear perspex case for mine, to protect it from knock and scratch damage.

Its excellent, though at $50 a bit pricey. Still, cheaper than replacing an iPod because I put it in my bag and it got squished or knocked around.

The sandwich bags could be good, i might fill it with packing peanuts for extra support, the static discharge wouldn't be too bad would it? :rolleyes:

I'm not really after a belt clip model. I also just dump it in my bag and pens and stuff just carve it up. I picked up a clear perspex cover for T68i for like $5 that works a charm and i was looking for a similar product with a similar price. But to no avail, most of the cases i've seen are for older model ipods.

I saw those but there still a tad pricey.

I might just have to bite the bullet and get a crazy perspex cover. Considering iPods aint cheap.

I also found ephpod is good, much better than Musicmatch. And i'm currently giving iTunes a bit of a burn but its seeming to be a tad overated by those apple folk.

USB2 and firewire. In the instruction booklet it says for PC's to use the 4 to 6 pin firewire adapter, but i got a pleasant suprise to see my Sound Blaster Audigy has 6 pin firewire which is good because then the iPod can charge off my PC.
