Has anyone ever seen this case before? Looks pretty cool but I don't know anything about it:

I've had one for about two weeks and I really like it.

The iPod screen is protected by a clear cover, but the click-wheel is open (just what I was looking for). The interior had a rubbery coating so it seems it will not scratch the iPod.

The belt-connector seems well made and disconnects very quickly. It won't lay flat as there is a pin on the back where the belt-connector lock onto.

I had to enlarge the top opening a bit with a dremmel tool to fit a (admitedly, fatter than normal) mini-pin input cable into the headphone input, but the stock Apple headphone cord (and most other cords) fits fine.

The bottom slot will allow the Apple connector (or a Sik Din line-out) to fit no problem, but I also had to dremmel it a bit larger for my PocketDock Line-out to fit correctly.

Because it's aluminum, it's very easy to modify and it seems well made and pretty scratch-resistant.

Cool - thanks for your comments on it. It helps my decision now.
