I know Belkin, Griffin, and others are working on some sweet cases for the touch, but when should be expect to see them hitting shelves?
Thanks,

I'd definitely like to know as well. The Apple Store has no idea at this point. I don't wanna even carry it around until I can get a case for it.

I ordered the suede sleeve from Waterfield Designs (linky here (http://www.sfbags.com/products/ipodsuedejacket/ipodsuedejacket.htm)) last week and received it just a couple of days later. I just wanted something simple to protect it while on the move, so I'm happy.

I'm actually waiting to see what the iSkin line of products will be like as I've always had great experiences with them for my past 3rd gen iPod. They always seem to release great products.

Thanks for the Waterfield Designs link - just ordered the SmartCase (Clip) for my 3G Nano and the SmartCase (SLIP) for my Touch, both in black, they look very very nice and seem to offer good protection.

Personally, I'm waiting for iWood to put one out.

I picked up an iphone case from a mall kiosk for $20. I looked at the $40 and $50 pouches at the Apple store but actually liked the cheaper pouch better. It fits the touch really well.
Going to order a Best Skin Ever if they ever release the right size as well. Leaving the original protective plastic in place on the Touch until then.

I ordered a Invisi shield total kit, and until it comes in I'm using just a apple sock. But I want to stay with something thin for in my pocket

Man that's sweet! Here's to hoping the Touch gets the same treatment.

The Belkin Arm bands look pretty good. I wonder why they are different material but the only difference is the headphone holder.

Well, considering my WiFi router is in my basement, and I can still get a signal (be it a weak one) in my neighbours house, I don't think a few millimeters of wood would make much of a difference.

I only ask because one guy some how fixed some of the packaging to the back of his touch in lieu of a cover until they come out and it blocked his wifi access so he had to cut a hole in it.

I also love Decalgirl.com and that is where I ordered one for my Touch, Zune, Wii and laptop. They have all held up great!!! And plus, it's even better to support a local :)
I just want an i-volution Top SP for the touch - and Vaja is sure taking their sweet time with it.

Funny you should say that I just asked them if they were going to be adding more to the Touch like like they did for the iPhone and they told me to stay posted. So i'm sure something is on it's way...lets hope soon

Well at least you heard back from them - I've emailed them twice in the past two weeks and never gotten a response. :(
Needless to say, when they released their first "case" for the Touch was a massive disappointment.
Though "stay posted" isn't exactly a clear response :p

Dude ok this is the case im getting,
I have a 3g Nano, I dropped it 4 times on the concrete from my stomach down, the case gets beat up but it NEVER opened when it fell (4 times) and the ipod is tight, doesnt shake or wobble.
Now I also have a belkin remix metal case and I dropped it twice while using it and both times the case cracked open and the ipod fell and slid around the concrete.
haha my reason for why I dropp the ipod is because theres no grip, its soo thin even with the case, ecspecially when someone bumps into me by accident it just slips out my hand.
So if you want a good case then get the Griffin's, Belkin is good but its not that secure incase it falls. :D
