Has anyone seen the Zipod Mini case by Lajo? Is it just basically water protection, or would it also have some drop protection? Can you use the belt clip with it? I really like it since it completely allows you to show off the Mini.

its basically a ziplock bag for your ipod..... it would offer NO drop protection, and im pretty sure you cant use the beltclip... but like i said... im "pretty Sure"

It might have a decently thick layer to prevent damage from impacts....but that's a "maybe"

You will be able to use the SWV clip with it once they get released.

I honestly don't see the purpose of a case for the iPod mini.

It's more of a piece of mind with shock absorption. I know the mini's annodized aluminum case won't easily scratch, but that doesn't mean its immune to falling and/or sharp objects. Better to ruin a 20$ case then a 250$ iPod mini, right?

I see the purpose. I dropped it the other day and the outer shell got chipped up. I can't WAIT for the iSkin case.

i just got the zipod case for my ipod today, and it's pretty good.
this case doesn't offer any protection if you drop it, but i knew this before i even bought it. it's basically to protect the mini from scratches and dirt.
also, when you are listening to your mini, you won't be able to zip it up completely. You will only be able to zip up to about the top corners of the ipod.
scrolling and navigating with the zipod on is great. i dont have a problem scrolling through my playlist with the zipod on.
i like this case a lot especially since i can still show off the ipod mini!
