I got my new iSkin Evo3 and I am liking it very much, other than the slight issue below. I finally feel like a have a grip on my iPod. I don't feel like it is going to slip out of my hands. The iPod (30GBB) always felt too slim and delicate and now it feels substantial and "tough".

But, one slight issue. The hole for the headphones lines up perfectly, but even the slight thickness of the case makes my particular headphones loose. They don't set in fully and come out easily. Another plug I have (from a set of computer speakers) sets in just fine. The headphones are just cheapies, anyway, and I can get another pair that works, so it is not a major issue, but just enough that I thought I would mention it.

I have been having the same issue Vance. If your headphone jack has a bend in it at the grip rather than being straight, the case thickness causes the headphones to easily pop out.

Which color did you get? And what color is your ipod?

I have a black 30GB and got the Eclipse (black). It really looks like a completely different player, which is just fine with me. The bevel around the click-wheel really helps me out as I use it while still in my front pocket.

I have temporarily (hopefully VERY temporarily) switched to using the iPod headphones. They don't sound any worse than my other ones (which were also cheapies), but I just can't stand them being white. I feel like such an Apple fanboy.

If I had a really good set of headphones with an "elbow" I would be pretty bummed right now.

Still, a GREAT case.

I also got the universal dock, and it really does fit perfectly into it without any adapters.
