Please choose the appropriate forum for this topic. Thank you. I don't know about many of you, but I was looking at the cases available on websites and Ebay for the ipod shuffle and was astonished at the prices they wanted for them. I am the owner of a 3G 20GB ipod and recently bought a 512MB shuffle for various small activities where my larger ipod wasn't needed. Frankly I don't really want to pay a lot of money for something that only costs $99. Pretty soon we will be paying more for the accessories than for the shuffle itself. Anyways, I was thinking about what I was looking for in a case for the shuffle. I realized that I wasn't too worried about it getting knocked around a little in my pocket, but I was mainly concerned with it getting scratched and getting pocket lint, dirt etc. in the small crevaces. So, I was sitting at my desk tonight and noticed a couple of unused latex gloves that I accidentally brought home from gross anatomy class. I immediately cut off the middle finger and stretched it around the body of my shuffle. I cut a hole in the tip of the finger for the earphone jack. What I got was skin tight, scratch-proof case that was also sanitary. If you have access or know anyone with access to medical exam gloves, ask them to get you a couple of pairs of various size gloves and try it out. If you are merely looking for scratch protection for your shuffle, this free alternative works great.
