So i saw that Marware just released a new case called the Trail Vue. Has anyone bought one of these yet? It looks pretty nice and i was curious if anyone had any experience with it yet. I like that you can see the color of your iPod while the case is closed. Any opinions?
thanks.

Hi,
I liked the look of them as well, and really didn't feel like shelling out for a vaja quite yet. I have the black/grey on the way as of this afternoon, I'll post something once I recieve it. I too spent some time digging around for a review of any sort with no luck.

Recieved my Black/Silver trailvue today. Also with it I ordered the swivel belt clip. Marware did a fantastic job with this case. I've looked at a frew of the DLO cases, and tried some of the silicon skin type cases and just wasn't happy with any of them. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.
The case is VERY well built, all the stitching is tight, in-order with no loose ends. the plastic area that covers and holds the mini inside the case is supprisingly thick, compared to what DLO uses on thier action jacket. Getting the mini inside was a bit of a squeeze, but once it was in, everything lined up flawlessly. the cutout for the click wheel is right on target. the open sides of the case look fantastic with the mini showing through, and the plastic adds a nice high gloss finished look to the aluminum. the Flap that secures the case closed (velcro) does a pretty decent job of covering the dock connector when secured.
The "slim clip" that comes with it leaves a bit to be desired in my opinion, being nothing more than a glorified clothspin, but the addition of the swivel clip gives the back of the trailvue the standard plastic "nub" that most cell phone/PDA clips use, so the case is now compatible with all the existing hardware I have in my car for my cell phone.
If you'd like some pictures, let me know what you'd like to see, and I'll do what I can to get a few posted.

Thanks a lot for your opinions. Looks like the actual product turned out to be as good as it looked and more. I think I might have to get one now. Thanks.
