What is the best leather case for the 20GB 2nd generation iPod?
I've just got a 20GB iPod to replace 5GB 1st generation and found that iGlove leather case that I used with 5GB from SoftWareandThings (http://www.softwareandthings.com) is too tight for the thicker 20GB.
I know that there are Vaja leather cases. They look great, but I cannot justify their high price.
Any other suggestions?

Wasn't the 20GB the thinnest of all of them? Anyway, I'd go with the one of the CEO's from Marware... they look nice, are leather, and do their job well...

I recommend the ExtremeMac leather cases. They're small, cover the entire thing when closed, yet still allow for full access to all the controls and viewing the screen when opened.
Also, exceptionally well made and nice looking...

I have held off buying a case for my trusty old 5gb iPod for ages, relying on my Groove Jacket for everyday protection.
I bought an Xtrememac Deluxe Case (Hip Tunes Bundle package) about ten days ago from the Apple Store in Tampa, for $19.95, and had a look at the other cases in the store before my purchase. Of all the cases they stocked (Marware, Incase, Apple's own) I felt the Xtrememac case was the closest to my needs.
Having used it for a few days now I'm glad I got it. The finish is great and the fit is nice and close. The swivel clip is handy for when I need to access the controls etc, and the case doesn't add much to the dimensions of the iPod. The small cable bag is a good addition for use with the extra long earphone cables.
I have to agree with Adam and also with the great reviews of the Xtrememac cases by Bernell Dorrough (http://www.ipodlounge.com/reviews_more.php?id=34_0_6_0_M) about this case.
10 out of 10 in my view.
