...And the winner is... the terforma iSleeve (http://www.terforma.com/fullsite.html) . Crikey! This bugger's ugly! Managing to be bulky without providing any screen protection, the iSleeve looks like it was designed by a committee. The pretentious (see profile) and awful flash website and prodigious trademarking of incomprehensible marketing doublespeak add to the bad impression.

I don't know where to begin in describing the poor design...the bulk?...maybe the awful earbud stowage that leaves the buds sticking up at each corner of the case--ready to be knocked off or broken. How about the hand band? Is the case so unergonomic that it needs an elastic band to keep it in your hand? The iSleeve seems to be doing its very best to obliterate the beautiful design of the iPod.

$50 for this mess? Is it me or is it this bad?

That's definitely a winner... errr.... looser I mean! Geez that thing is ugly! Even if they paid me, I probably wouldn't even use this! I'd be afraid my iPod would stop working for having dared insult it's beauty by using that thing for it's case!

well as long as your ipod lands on a smooth surface the front should be ok. (because the front edge sticks out a few mm.)
Now if you drop it on a surface with pointy edges, lookout

That thing looks like crap. So ugly and makes your pod so bulky.

Perhaps it's good if you don't want your iPod to be stolen...:D
