Currently I have a 3rd generation ipod -this may change soon b/c the battery life is bad - regardless, I am looking for an ipod case that I can use for SWIMMING. I have seen many reviews for the lilipod and some for the other kinds of cases, but I've hardly seen anyone comment on listening to their ipod underwater. I came across one comment saying the music sounds very distorted with water in your ears.
So who has opinions on what case is best for swimming?
I think the idea is to put the earphones in before you get water in your ears!
If you look at them they use the in ear style of flange presumably to keep water out -

Jeremy Horwitz stated in his review of the new H2O Audio SV iP4G case (http://www.ipodlounge.com/index.php/reviews/comments/h2o-audio-sv-ip4g-underwater-housing-ipod/) -
If you haven’t experienced underwater listening, you should: the sensation of hearing music while submerged is vaguely magical. Ambient noise around you disappears and the sounds of whatever you’re playing on your iPod are crystal clear. It’s a great feeling, and generally worth the price of admission - assuming of course you can afford it, and are going to use the case and headphones in water with any regularity.
For swimming with a 3G I think your only option is the Lillipod case - you need waterproof without a doubt!
