Speck's Mini FlipStand

[Minipod]

Does anyone here own a Mini FlipStand by Speck Products? I've been researching cases for my mini for a while now, and I decided on the FlipStand last night. I wanted to be able to still see my mini and keep it nice and small while preventing scratches. I realize it's not the best for shock protection or big drops, but it seems pretty good for most things. Just wondering if anyone here has had experience with it before.

Here's a link for more information on it:

I haven't seen a mini flipstand myself (yet) but if it's anything like the 3G flipstand, it's actually pretty good for protection from drops. I own one for my 3G and so does a friend of mine. He dropped his iPod while walking and it landed on the pavement, and while the flipstand did have a few scrapes and scratches (no cracks though...that plastic is pretty durable), his iPod was spotless and still worked fine. Sure, it doesn't have any rubber inside for bumps and such, but I think it still protects pretty well. And from the pics I've seen, the mini flipstand looks even better than the 3G one, and because of the mini's metal casing it should have a great fit.

I just received the FlipStand. It's actually even better than I thought it would be. It is really thin, completely clear, and covers everything except for holes for the hold switch and headphones. I really like how the top pops open so I can take it out very easily. My only minor complaint is that the belt clip isn't the best, and it's kind of squeeky when on a belt. But other than that, it's great!
