I'm not 100% certain, but I was looking at the Apple website and they have the socks shipping in December. Thus, I doubt they are there yet. I just hope they are around in time for Christmas, because they are a stocking stuffer that I want!
 
My iPod socks have been shipped yesterday, received FedEx tracking number from Apple. I ordered it on http://store.apple.com/ one day after its being released.

Can't wait to receive it, I guess not only my iPod, I can also put my digital camera in it to protect it from cold winter in California.

papersushi did you get your socks yet? I would be interested to see some real life pictures of peoples socks...err...iPod socks that is!!! Let us know if you received them.
 
The store in Indianapolis, IN has the socks in stock. They look pretty nice, I may pick up a set of them this weekend if I have any money left.
 
Happy to post some pics.

I mainly got them for the "Apple Shrine" corner of my office with the old blueberry iMac and all my other Apple collectable stuff.

Yeah, I'm a little obsessed.
 
Mine shipped...

I'll have then on the 27th. They're stocking stuffers. Perfect for the winter iPod crowd. Something so simple, guerrilla, and festive. I almost don't think I'm getting ripped off!
 
Images attached...

I was originally going to order them just as an item to put in my office, but since I've lost my Jam Jacket, they work really well - very cool idea, and the fun factor is worth 30.00.

do they protect the iPod real well from scratches?
Yea, that's kinda what I was wondering too. I mean I know they're "socks" and are therefore made out of a soft fabric, but if you were to put the iPod in and out a bunch of times really fast, like if it were getting shifted around in the sock, do you think it would scratch? (And I mean nothing bad by the in/out comment... You people are sick :p)
 
I think that the iPod sock looks very appealing. It will give the ability to be color coordinated with its owner. With this coming winter it will also allow your iPod to keep warm. :D
 
I got an iPod sock (yes, one, my friend bought them and we share them) yesterday and it's great! I love that I can still control the iPod through it, it's relatively protective, and it's stylish! Yesterday it was raining, and it was quite cold. I was surprised that my iPod was actually warm—usually my iPod is very cold, especially on the back. Not that my iPod needs to be warm.

I know it, I was there this summer. The place is huge compared to the one in Indianapolis. Chicago is just a cool city!
