Are there any prodects available that are like the invisible sheild or the overlay plus which JUST cover the screen? I like the idea of the black part being covered up but I do not want the click wheel to be covered by a piece of plastic, it will make it feel all different and the be less sensitive. Any ideas?

You could use a hobby knife to cut out the wheel from the invisible shield.

There are several ways to do this. If you're confident in your tracing abilities, a fine pen and placing the shield over the nano (without wetting it) would mark its position. Then put the shield on a clean work surface and use a hobby knife to cut it out. Apply the shield as normal. Also, if you can find a full-size nano image on paper (maybe one comes with the invisible shield, as a display backing?) you could use that to cut out the circle without the use of a pen. The third method would involve measuring the diameter of the circle, and measure the distance from the edge of the iPod to the circle in all four directions. Then use a compass to make a matching circle on paper, and use it as a stencil to cut the invisible shield.

(I also don't like the idea of the whole-surface protection...the slight movement of the click wheel will produce air bubbles after a while. I think devilot76 used a screen protector that is pre-punched with a separate wheel cover. You could simply discard that piece. Search for her and find the thread where she talks about that if you want more info.)

Haha, thanks, as I was reading your reply I was thinking, "Wait, my Nano cover had a pre-cut wheel area!" Martin Fields is for the nano, but I'm guessing a 5th gen iPod cover will be coming soon. Also more discussion about the cover in this thread.
 
does anyone have that timbuk2 case for the ipod? I like it, but i still have to take it out to change songs etc.... which i don't mind cause cases sometimes take away the look of the ipod
