I am leaning towards the Pacific Rim metal case or that leather Marware CEO one.

I can tell you which one sucks...the dLo PODfolio.
I have had my iPod for 1 week, and as soon as I took it out of the box I stuck it in the case.
the so-called display protector actually caused a scratch on it and the whole dang iPod simply flew right out of the case and hit the cement.
The dork at Best Buy assured me this wouldn't happen. Said he keeps his iPod in it and it works great. Fool probably doesn't even have an iPod.
Sucks.

Anyway, I am looking for a good case to use when I walk/jog. I am sort of a clutz, so the metal case seems perfect for me.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Hey Galley-
Thanks for the head's up on that one.
They should send you a commission, cause you just sold a Showcase for them.

Yeah, I got suckered into buying the Podfolio too. Maybe I should've paid attention to this board when people said "IT SCRATCHES YOUR IPOD".
I ordered an iSee 20 because it's clear and it has almost as good protection as the Showcase (which is too bulky for me).

I bought the Podfolio before I ever came to this site.
Luckily I know about it now and won't make anymore un-informed iPod purchases.

But here's hoping the designer of the Podfolio and the idiot at Best Buy both get exactly what the don't want for Christmas...and by that I mean the crabs.

I would also recommend the Showcase, it's definately a very solid case. I just bought a second one (black naturally :)) yesterday for another iPod.

I hope you like it PapaJupe. I own the white one, which unfortunately, gets "dingy" after awhile. Which reminds me; it's time to give mine another bath.

No..dont' go there..I have the case and in the process of returning it. Its bulky, heavy and the most irritating thing, the click wheel hole is STILL too small, even after they revised them. Many times I went to turn up volume or scroll thru menu and hit the select button and my fingers aren't huge by any standard. My friend that has the Pod Sleevz agrees that its not a good case for the most part (it is solid and sure it protects against drops..but).
