I just got my 4g 20gb hp ipod about a week ago and im in the market for a case. I cant seem to find any good ones that will suit me so i was wondering if anyone knows of any that basically are hard, clear and fully accessible without removing the ipod from the case?

The Contour Showcase (http://www.ipodlounge.com/reviews_more.php?id=4989_0_6_0_M) might be what you want.. Mine is on its way to me now. :D

Oh, and if that doesn't do it for you, this page (http://www.ipodlounge.com/reviews.php) has links to reviews on a lot of cases. :)

raidersfann26, I am guessing that you mean 'accessible' as being able to see the screen, use the click wheel and charge the iPod via USB/Firewire cable.
The only hard, clear and accessible cases I've seen around are (in alphabetical order):
-Agent 18 Click Shield
-Contour Design iSee
-Power Support Crystal Jacket
-Speck Products FlipStand
Check out the iPodlounge reviews for these products. Hope this helps.

PS I have use a Contour Showcase for my 60GB (it's great). However, some 20GB users don't like the Showcase as it makes their 'thin' iPod look 'fat'. Contour made the case for the larger 40GB/Photo iPods, foam inserts are supplied to get the 'thinner' 20GB iPod fit though.

I just got the Contour isee-20 for my 4G 20GB a couple of days ago and I'm madly in love with it. It is beautiful just like the iPod and really shows off the iPod's beauty and protects it well to boot.

My husband even commented that he really likes this one and he HATES cases!

Picked it up for around $20.00 on ebay (14.95 plus Priority Shipping).

Yeah the contour is great. It has this clip which allows easy removal insertion too. Great design, no complaints.

I love my contour case...its fits nice and snug, absorbs the shock nicely and the design is simple without deterring the aethetics of my ipod....i highly recommend this case!!

Well lili pretty much beat me to it. :cool: I am extremely happy with my Contour Showcase. I got the black one so it won't look so dirty, plus I seem to be in the minority that isn't crazy about the all white of the iPods. My iPod is a 40GB though, so it is a perfect fit, with the 20GB you will need to use the spacer.
Some people seem to dislike that.

The good thing is that for the time being there seems to be a new case coming out every other day or so.
