im not a big fan of cases .. they make the ipod bigger and stupid looking. i've seen people with cases that make them as big as a neuros. its embarassing. i just use the sock/case thing that came with it or a sock that i got for my previous ipod and make sure i dont it in the same pocket as my keys. its kind of annoying though, cause i do that with my cell phone and i dont have three pockets, unless you count the back one but who puts their cell phone in their back pocket? ok sorry nevermind, i dont know of any good ipod cases. but i do know that there is refinishing stuff that makes them all shinny and not scratched anymore and i hear it works pretty good.
