I tried a number of cheapy cases (from Amazon / Ebay) before members here at MacRumors recommended the SwitchEasy products. I purchased the black RebelTouch for my iPod 2nd generation, and it's been a dream. Keeps my iPod touch safe and sound all day long, even in my pocket (with keys and various other objects). Well worth the price tag, if you ask me. I mean, you pay $20 to keep your $240 high-end iPod safe. 😛 Sounds like a bargain to me.
