How long until the 5G cases are out?

[thadchr]

Other than the cases from zCover, which are out now, does anyone know the expected release date of any other covers for the video iPod?

I have one from Countour cases for my 3G that I really like, and I'd like one for my video as well, but if it's going to be such a long wait I'm thinking of just settling on the one from zCovers.

there is one skin that is out already.

im also pretty sure that there is an ad on the iSkin page that shows a new 5G skin that should be out before the holiday rush ;)

And also SkinTight (http://www.speckproducts.com/vid-skintight.htm).
I got mine yesterday and I really, really like it.

They're not out yet, but these Incase ones (http://ilounge.com/index.php/news/comments/incase-unveils-new-5g-leather-and-neoprene-cases-nano-neoprene-colors/) are always a safe bet for quality.

Do those protect the screen?

Yes, they have clear plastic over the screen.

Thanks.

I just read that it also protects the click wheel. Can it work through plastic, or do you have to take it off to use the iPod?

I'm pretty sure those packs of three come out of machines in Men's toilets.:D

The clickwheel works through most fabrics, so yes. You can have your iPod in your jeans and turn up the volume from outside the pockets.

They could bring out the 1G models again, as a retro revival item, call them the iPod Brick.:eek:

Doesn't look like it; unless you're good with a needle & thread. ;)

Hideous? I think the first link speck toughsking is the best one out there.

[davidcb13]

Is there anything that is just a clip on the horizon like the one that came with the ipod mini

[Baked]

I have martin fields on mine right now, pre-ordered an Agent18 clear case.

[Scruge]

the best sheild out for the new ipod would have to be the Invisible Sheild amazing protection against scratches.

old news

[iHateWindows]

old news

...but very, very important news.

[aricher]

I'm going with the invisi-shield and then ordering a vaja case as soon as they come out. It didn't take them that long to tool one for the nano so I can hold out with just the I.S. for awhile - they're site says Nov. 05. I know, redundant having I.S. and then a case but I love Vaja's products - the most iPod-like a case can get - pure quality.
