I recently got a 30GB iPod Photo, but am afraid to take it anywhere without some protection. I've done some research on cases but have found some conflicting info - some sites say a case is compatible with the 30GB while others say the same case is not.

Has anyone found a really solid, protective case that is a good fit for the 30GB?

Thanks,
Steve C.

You may laugh but I think the iSocks are the absolute best case solution for your iPod. I recently got a 30g photo and I think it works great with the socks.

They fit perfectlyon the 30g photo, leave enough room at the top for your headphone jack and allow you to control the clickwheel through the fabric when pausing or changing tracks. Best thing about them for me is they don't ruin the austhetics of your iPod. If you need to carry it in your bag or coat pocket just slip it in the sock and it's protected. Otherwsie you get to see your ipod in all its glory without some ug;y leather or plastic jacket covering its best features.

Thanks for the quick replies. The socks are an interesting idea but the iSkin is more along the lines of what I'm looking for. It's true that covering the iPod with a rigid skin will detract from its looks but for my purposes (riding motorcycle, etc.) maximum protection is required.

Thanks,

The socks are really amazing :-)
I had to bought a fake one - becouse I have not found an Apple original sock on ebay (WorldWide shipping is required). even the fake one is amazing :-)

HERE IS A GOOD ALTERNATIVE FOR SHOCK PROTECTION (http://www.ipodoutfitter.com/site/684650/product/SPK-XXX-4G)

Since your on the bike you want more than a skin if that baby takes a tumble..

I just ordered the new "Contour Showcase". for $36 including 2 day shipping. Looks like it will work well with my iPod Photo 40gb

I have the iSkin evo2 on my 30 GB iPod Photo and it fits just fine. It's made for the 20 GB regular iPod, but the guy at the Apple store said it would be just fine with the 30 GB Photo as well and he was right.

Fake iPod socks? How exactly do you identify these? I bought a grey one and it looks authentic to me.
