Does anybody use the OWC Pod Protector? I haven't seen too much discussion on this case, and was wondering what people think of it.
How does it fit the 20GB model? It seems like they only have one size of case, and I was concerned that it would be too tight. How does the touch wheel work behind the vinyl screen? How well does the belt clip work?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Thanks,
Rob

Have a DLO Pod Protector ( same as OWC PP and JR HILL PP). I have a 10gig WiPod and the case is okay. It's easy to use on the clip and it gives good access to the scroll wheel.
One thing is that somehow between when I took the case out of the packaging and a few hours later the vinyl in front of the screen got a small tear. It's noticable and annoying but I can live with it. Also I ordered the iScreen from DLO. The iScreen is two sheets (1 for the front and 1 for the back). They are supposed to protect the iPod from scratches. See, you don't really buy a case to protect from scratches but to carry around comfortably. The iScreen inside the case will provide better protection.
I also tried some Brasso for a scratch on the lucite over the screen. I did about 6 minutes of rubbing and about 75% of the scratch was removed with no residue. When the iScreen arrives I plan to do another job with the Brasso.
My other case is an Higoto iPod Saver. It's a nice pouch with velcro strap across the top to hold the iPod in. The strap has a hole for the headphone jack and no restrictions on the firewire or locking switches on top. Why I bought this pouch is because of the beltloops on the back. Beltloops provide the best protection against dropping the iPod. Believe me, I lost a Rio 500 when it fell off my belt and didn't notice it was gone until it was too late.
