I am wondering if any one can provide me with some pictures of the jam jacket on their ipods, not just the net images, and their thoughts as well. Has any one in Australia got a jam jacket?
Thanks in advance.

I just wrote up a review of the Jam Jacket if you're interested.

It's got pictures of my iPod/Jam Jacket combo, as well as my thoughts on the case. Overall, it's a very nice product in my opinion (although slightly flawed). It works great if you use an iTrip.
Hope this helps. Post back if you have any other questions.

As soon as I took my iPod out of the box I knew I was going to have to get some sort of protection on it right away. So I got the Jam Jacket off the apple site, for $19.99. I love the case to death, its got a great feel, offers decent protection too. My only beef with the case is that it doesn't offer any coverage for the screen, no little piece of protective plastic or anything. That's really not all THAT important though. What really got to me was the price. I took the Jam Jacket out of the plastic it came in and kind of twirled it in my hands saying, "$20 for this?" Meh, all in all I give it an 8 out of 10.
JamJacket sucks a big one. I still can't remove all the scratches the JamJacket gave it.
I have the Jam Jacket and love it. It has not scratched my iPod at all. For screen protection, I use WriteRight clear screen protectors and they work well. My iPod has no scratches or dents at all and it's six months old.

Will the iShades for the exos fit with the jam jacket?

It doesn't look like the iShades will fit with the Jam Jacket since the Jam Jacket case doesn't have a groove around the screen to fit the iShade.
I made sure to wash my Jam Jacket in water before putting it on the iPod, and it's caused no scratches to my iPod whatsoever.

I have a Jam Jacket. It doesn't cause any scratches by itself (I don't think), but what has happened to me is, little pieces of grit or something (I never see anything inside the case but obviously something is there) gets trapped inside of it and then, as the day goes on, the case of course wiggles just the tiniest imperceivable bit, which kinds of grinds the grit into the surface of the ipod, leaving little dot-sized scratches that are really ugly. It has happened all over the front and there is one of these on the metal back, which shocks me. I've only had the iPod and the case for about a month, and this has been occuring since the second or third day I've had them. It upsets me, but I figure it's better off in the Jam Jacket than nothing at all, until I buy a new case. Honestly, the top being unprotected isn't an issue as no scratching has occured there, but there are light swirl marks on the screen, which is to be expected.
