Just returned my n800 for the Touch. Couldn't be happier. Have a few questions though...

1) Can I disable the auto-rotation in Safari? When I am laying down on my side, I can't get the rotation right.
2) I purchased the anti-glare screen protector (brand = Power Support) when I bought my Touch. It's ok, but I am wondering if there is a better one out there. Is there consensus on the best protectors?
3) I am in the market for some kind of case. I don't want a case that I can leave it in. I want a case that will protect it enough that I can put it in my pocket and remove it easily enough. It also shouldn't be too bulky. Any suggestions?
4) I'm also in the market for an AC adapter/charger. I want something I can carry with me and charge it if I don't have access to a pc. I'd also like the charger to allow me to operate the Touch while charging (if possible). Any suggestions?

Thanks.

If you can find someone that has (or if you have) a 5G iPod Video. That iPod came with a small slip case that works perfect for the Touch if you just want something to easily slip it in and out.

As far as I know, you can't, but Safari won't flip the display to upside-down-vertical. Therefore, just flip safari to the side you want, and then orient the touch so the button end points up (upside down) - safari won't flip. If you actually wanted to see your images (which CAN flip upside-down), or if you wanted to view safari vertically, but on your side, then I don't think there's a tip.

#3 I use my iPod socks. After a little stretching the Touch fits perfectly.

#4 Official Apple iPod Charger?

Get the newer Apple adapter. The newer one is crazy small (thus easily portable) and it comes with a USB cable.

This way you can power from a wall OR any USB port. You're covered in either way.
