I listen to my iPod for several hours a day, but when I'm finished listening for now, the iPod goes into it's sock and into my briefcase or my pocket. What about the headphones? With the mini I just sold, I would wind them around the belt clip, but now I have a 30GB iPod photo and Apple's in-ear headphones. Do I put them back into their plastic case every time or is there a better way to do this? This may seem like a stupid question, but I'm sure someone else has been curious about this. If not, then I get to be a pioneer in the field of stupid iPod related questions.
Got a tip for us?

I use them with my Mac, when I listen to music and work late at night on projects. 
Don't want to disturb others in the house.

After buying my Shure E3cs, I used their little case for about 3 days before getting completely fed up with it. Now, they just get stuffed into my bag with the iPod.
Too. Much. Clutter.

My B&O's go in their case, which then slips nicely into my pocket.
With the Apple ones, I'd just wind them around the 'pod. Of course, that's why I went through a number of pairs of them.

I use them to listen to music?
At work and thats about it. I bring mine home with me in case I need them on my computer at home. Not usually though.
But yeah I use my headphones as listening devices.

I'm mainly asking about storage, here. I used to wind mine around the 'pod and stuff it into my bag, but that seems to be pretty hard on them. Should I just use the plastic case that came with the in-ear headphones or what?

I'll have you know, I thoroughly cleaned that little tin at least three times before placing my nano (w/ it protective 'sticker' thing and a protective iKlear cloth around it) into the altoids tin! Hmph.

I neatly wind/roll/fold the ones that Apple shipped w/ my nano in my makeshift nano case:

I know the nano is small, but please tell me it is bigger than an altoids tin.
BTW I just wrap my headphones around the iPod.
No, I honestly use an altoids tin as a case for my nano. My bf wouldn't believe me either so I proposed; "Get me a nano and I'll prove it to you."watcher2001 said:I know the nano is small, but please tell me it is bigger than an altoids tin.

I love my propositions!:edit: I'll post some pics... just to get all doubt outta your mind.
What a great idea and just in time too! I was about to throw away a tin. Now all I need is the nano to go in it.devilot76 said:

That's sort of what happened w/ me, too... I have tons of these empty tins laying around and my bf likes to purge everything. He wanted me throw them all out, and then I said I was saving them for a nano at which point, well, I already explained how he didn't believe they'd fit.balamw said:What a great idea and just in time too!

All I can say is WOW.. That is just too incredibly cool. I can see creating a niche market by painting and embellishing altoid tins as iPod nano cases(My wife is the crafty type) . If it is as succesful as I hope I may cut you a percentage.devilot76 said:No, I honestly use an altoids tin as a case for my nano.

Very, very cool devilot.
Makes me wish I still had a Nano, or at least something cool to put my 5th Gen in!!

I've got a 4th Gen iPod with the 'normal' Apple headphones and a remote that came with a 3rd Gen one. I fold them up neatly into either the little black pouch thing (that came wth the 3G i think) or into an iPod Sock. My iPod lives in either an iSkin or another one of the iPod Socks.
I've got a little zipcase for my etymotics, but I just wrap my iPod earbuds around my Nano once I've finished with them.
Back in the case. I just bought the B&O's and I'm afraid I'll screw them up if I just throw them in my bag!
