Well my black 5g 30gig comes today however I snagged a DLO Podfolio leather case (the one with the flip) at Best Buy yesterday. Here are a few impressions.
1 - sucks that it doesn't have even a clear vinyl screen cover, I know the flap helps cover it but you can still manage to scratch it. I didn't open the package in the store and the way it's retail packaged it looks like it has a screen cover.
2 - The front (where the clickwheel/screen are) inside has horribly rough edges where ever a cut was made, almost like they just glued the leather or something so it wont get messed up, afraid it will scratch my 5g when I put it into the case for the first time.
3 - magnetic cover isn't the best, its in the center of the front, not the two corners like the DLO site appears, this makes for an uneven closure unless you recenter it at times.
Overall think I'll probably return this and wait for something else. Still thinking the InCase Sleeve is what I am thinking, clear screen protection, leather.
