Recommendation

[Michiganipod]

Just a quick question. I bought a 30 gig photo iPod a couple of weeks ago. I made sure that I bought a case to protect it. It's leather and has a belt clip. The problem is that dirt can get in it from the top and get between the case and screen and I already have some scratches...(grrrrr....)

There are hundreds of cases out there. Does anyone have a recommendation on a good case that will protect my iPod, but still give it functionality? (Like to use it while I am active. So it would be nice if there was a belt clip or arm band, but protection is the most important.)

Thanks, iPod friends!

No guarantees, but check this out:

It's what I use -- now, I'm not incredibly active (I'm a web developer ;)). The swivel clip is excellent, and you shouldn't have a problem with dirt getting it. The click wheel also maintains its functionality.

If you're looking for something even more protective, I'd recommend an OtterBox case. That's some serious protection there, and the click wheel works very well. It has a belt clip too, but I'm not sure how great that one is; haven't had to use that part myself.
