Haha! As of today I own the coolest Mini case in existence! Made completely out of duct tape! It's actually more of a sleeve, so you have to take it out to get to the controls, but if I had the right tools I would cut openings for the wheely-deal and screen. I'll post pics soon...

yup. real cool

Did you sell the rest of it to that guy looking for an outer casing?

Huh? No, I didn't take the casing off... It's just a sleeve. I lost my FW cable, so it might be a while before I post pics... Basically I looped a long piece of tape around the iPod longways (sticky side out), then wrapped more tape widthways around it before folding the long piece over. Now I had a REALLY sticky sleeve. Then I just covered it with more tape, non-sticky side out. It protects it really well... Better than most cases I have seen.

Lol... It would be funny if some of it came loose and stuck to your clickwheel. Then you would be having tons of fun...

I too have an original case! Old pair of jeans....stitch the mini in....lots of sequins and diamante!!! very classy! ;-)
