iSkin Mini-
Great protectors. I have 2. Still makes your iPod protected, but it doesn't make it look bad. I really like the Arctic (clear) color since it should the blue on my mini through it. It comes with a screen protector also. One thing to warn you about though, is the bulk. It isn't too bad, but it's a little thicker than the exo minis. It does add better protection, though and it has saved my mini many times. I highly recomend it.

Vaja makes the best looking case out there right now, they use the best leather, and offer endless customization. But the downfall is the case is so beautiful, you end up babying it as much as you ipod.

I have one on my iPod, and my wife will have one on her mini too.

I agree with jwc110869.

Vaja do make the best cases. I just received my Vajai-Vod mini (colour rosso) today and it looks, feels and even smell of class & greatness.

If you have the money get one.

Hey, great that you got it...when I tried to post my pic, it said that it was too large. Then I got too lazy to change the pixels. I wanted to make sure you knew what you were getting.

Glad that you like it!!!

Vaja is the one to go for. I got the Iskin also but that makes your Ipod look like just a simple MP3 player. Get the Ivod and you're the lucky owner of a super-deluxe one. Check the other thread about the Ivod with the pics in it to see some more.

Just a small "Quid Pro Quo"...

If you want to use this in the gym, the Vaja may not be the best...not because of quality. I spend more time babying the thing then lifting weights! (lol)

Afraid to get it sweaty...don't want to drop it, afraid to let the weights hit it....too much trauma :-)

i would reccomend iskin mini, believe me it doenst make ur mini look cheap. i like the way it looks :D.

on another note, try the search option and ipodlounge's own reviews before you post...there are endless reviews and opinions on cases in these boards, and you'll end up with the same info anyway.

I have the matias mini armor and the Radtech minisleev. If you want allround protection you cannot beat the armor. The only downsides are that you cant use the dock, access the scroll wheel and that it is expensive.

The Radtech minisleev is also very good, and is a really tight fit to the ipod. It desensitizes the scroll wheel enough to make it much easier to use and protects the ipod well. I think it looks cool and is practical.

If I wanted my mini to look fasionable in a case, Id pick the minisleev, if I wanted robustness, go for the armor.

Incidentally I have a purple minisleev for sale in the UK if anyone is interested please PM me.

Hey D83 - can you use the charger or firewire cable with the Matias Armor? Sounds like this is the best choice for cycling and gym...

I have a provincial blue Vaja iVolution for my blue mini. The iVolution is so beautiful you need another case to protect it! It provides enough protection for the mini as it has a screen protector and surrounds the mini with "chubby" leather. The iVolution is definitely well made. You will be impressed once you see one in person. There are other cases that provide better protection at a cheaper price. However, the iVolution, to me, is the best looking case for the mini. I like it so much that my next ipod will definitely be in a Vaja case (still waiting for apple to fix the 4G audio issues).
