Anyone have experience with any of these new cases?

Hi everyone. I just bought a 3G Shuffle last night at my local Apple store. I'm looking to get a case for it, as it looks like it will scratch easily. Does anyone have any experience with any of these 3G cases? The only one that looks semi decent is the ChocoShuffle. Still, looking for advice, thanks in advance!

There's plenty of cases out there, but why would you need one for something to small.
If you were to drop it I don't think it's heavy enough to hurt itself, and if it's just scratches get an InvisibleShield or something. I've seen cases other then the ChocoShuffle but they're just metal shields and I don't see how they will protect it from anything more then the scratches (so a skin would be better anyway)

Hmm, I came home today and it turns out my grandfather ordered this case for me yesterday. He ordered it directly from the SwitchEasy site. I got a confirmation email from PayPal checkout, but not from SwitchEasy, whats up with that? Its been 24 hours.

I've purchased from SwitchEasy 4 times, and I don't recall them sending you an e-mail directly, you get your receipt number from PayPal, and if you wish to return you use the numbers from your PayPal transaction

i hope your shuffle never breaks, because that would be toatal b.s. and unless your just trying to protect from droping or scratches, silicon. silicon only.

Well I got my case in. Only thing is SwitchEasy sent me the white chocolate version instead of the milk chocolate that I ordered. Oh well, not a big deal. I didn't want to deal with shipping it back and waiting another week.

If you contact them and provide your paypal transaction I'm 90% sure they will send you a replacement for free.
Probably need to prove that you ordered the brown one, and then take a picture of the white one you received and e-mail it to them.

Well, I just sent them an email so hopefully they will help work something out. I will keep you updated.

Well, they replied. I guess the only way for this to work is if I mail it back to them, they then refund my CC, and I then have to order a new one. Sounds like more of a pain in the butt then anything else, so I'll stick with the white one.

Oh sucks, they must have changed a bit more. I remember when I first bought from them they sent me replacements without asking for anything, then they started to ask for pictures, then they started to ask for my paypal transaction.
First one was sending me a new silicone for my Rebel since the molding wasn't exactly finished, and I asked for 2 headphone jack covers and 2 headphone adapters, they sent me them all no questions asked.
Second time I asked for some more silicone pieces for my Neo and they wanted me to take a picture of my case so they knew I had it.
Then finally I broke my Neo's I-Clip at the bottom, near the gluing part, and they wanted my paypal to send me a new one.

Hmm. That's a bummer. Should have sent me what I ordered in the first damn place. Haha. Should have ordered it from MyGearStore. Oh well, lesson learned I guess.

Hey saw your post. I have a shuffle too and I put a Bodyguardz on it. 14.99 for two. Also have the new incipio lab series blocks, wafers, and mints. They come 3 or 4 to a package and are cost effective especially if you want to share them with a friend. The chocoshuffle cases are awesome I have chocolate and strawberry. proporta makes nice shuffle cases too. And if you want aluminum the core cases are neat. I like silicone better especially if you drop things.
