so I recently got a new ipod Photo 30Gb, and I dont want to get any scratches on it. So after looking at the forums here, and reviews at other places, i decided contour cases are the best. are there any other good case that protects clickwheel, and looks stylish? and I was wondering if anyone could give links to where I can get the contour case black or white for my Ipod PHoto 30Gb, it was hard for me to find, because i didn't know what generation are the new ipod photo 30gb? so please help me out, thanks a lot

Contour Design recently changed their 4G case so that it is compatible with all versions of the 4G iPod and iPod photo. (See the note on the bottom of the page here (http://www.contourdesign.com/showcase/index.htm) .) The Showcase ships with several pieces of padding of different thicknesses , so just use one that fits with your 30 GB photo.
You can buy the Showcase directly from Contour Design. (Click "Buy Now" on the link above.) It's available from other places, especially eBay, but for right now, in light of the recent change, I would buy directly from Contour to ensure that you get a 30GB-compatible case.
As for the scrollwheel: the Contour, like many cases that allow for playthrough, does not offer scrollwheel protection. Based on review I've read, I would reccommend either the iPoDonut or the Power Support Wheel Film. Both of these protect the wheel without significantly compromising performance.
