Of course, I am just helping you add to the list. Each case has it's own pros and cons...

BoxWave has some good overlays / film for iPods as well. Their overlays are highly regarded in the Treo community. I personally have the Crystal Clear protector on my Treo 650 and I can't tell it's there most of the time.

They also make installation of their overlays a breeze. While some overlays are hard to remove from their backing and usually have you ending up peeling them off the backing with your oily finger, the BoxWaves have a clear protector over the overlay that helps in positioning the overlay. The clear protector over the overlay has a small plastic tab attached to it so you can hold that while positioning the overlay. Once you have placed the overlay in the right spot, you place it on the spot and the protector on the overlay can be pulled off by pulling on the small plastic tab.

Thanks for the suggestions. I picked up a silicone case last night at the Apple store, but I'm not thrilled with it. I can't remember the name of it, but it's not one of the ones on the list above. I don't like the feel, and the screen protector is distracting. I think I'm going to go with an overlay and maybe a nice leather case for when I travel.

DONT GET CONTOUR ISEE, SCRATCHES WAY TO EASILY AND MESSES UP HOW THE IMAGES COME UP!!!!! DAMN YOU. Evo3 attract lint and dust so you have to clean it everday if its in your pocket and the belt clip isnt strong. one good thing about isee belt strong STRONG like me!

Boxwave iPod protectors aren't too great. Plenty of unmovable air bubbles around the edges, even after multiple applications

OK - so it's not just me. I got the Boxwave and I am having that problem.
