Need armband/beltclip case for a 60GB

[mesostinky]

I need something small enough to leave on all the time that has a removable beltclip and an armband. Two non-Photo cases fit this bill. The DLO action jacket which I bought is just a bit too tight. My iPod fits but after reading about this case scratching peoples iPods I don't want to risk it. Otherwise the case would be perfect.

Second is the marware SportSuit™ Convertible which doesn't have a Photo Model out yet :( Its "coming".

I really want both of these features and can only even find one other armband for the 60GB, the extrememac sportcase which is an armband only case.

Can someone help with some suggestions? I'm open to the idea of two different cases but then they would have to be cheap, built for quick removal of ipod, and give access to the scrollwheel.

Any Help or suggestions appreciated!

I found a case set at Wal-Mart that had a belt loop, armband, and sling dealio all in one for about $20. It has no screen view or control access but it would work really well and it's cheap.

Thanks tcamp1, I'll have to check that out. I would like scroll wheel access but I'll definitely have a look at my local walmart.

I did see something on Ebay that would work but the guys in Austrailia. Going from the text who knows if its the right model but it looks right for an Ipod Photo. It's cheap but it would fit my needs.

I'd be careful: The description talks about "protecting your iPod Mini" Not the ipod Photo! I'm not sure I'd trust it yet. Also the armband works by sliding the band through the back of the case - possibly in contact with the back of your iPod. Chances are running would cause enough friction between the two that it might cause some scatching.

I'd send an email to him to double check the size and junk of the product and of course check his feedback, its invaluable. Good luck meso.

Yea I was more of just pointing that out rather then buying it flat out, although I did shoot off a message to the seller. The fact that the description and the body say two different things isn't the best sign.

As far as the back of the Ipod goes I won't be too sad if that gets scratched up, although I'm going to try to avoid doing that. Its more the front screen I'm worried about. I may end up trying out one of those PDA protectors on it.

If you look around, there are many people who have tried the PDA protectors and find that it distorts the color on the screen. Not sure why but thats what they say! There is a company that makes screen protectors and stuff for iPods specifically but i forget the site and the name so I cant even tell you where to go, sorry. Maybe I will find it.

Thanks tcamp1.

If anyone else knows of any other armband cases for the 60GB please let me know. Thanks.
