    "Haha, it's all good though, you can take it off and wash it with soap and water, just make sure it's dry before putting it back on!"[/quote]

    You're telling me...when I take it out of my pocket on the train, it's covered in fluff. Rather annoying. But hey, if worst comes to worst, you can always lick it off ;)

    Just joking guys, wouldn't advise that at all :x

    Haha, now now Lethal. People are going to read the first half of that post and start licking their iPods as soon as they get off the tube. LOL

    Been looking into cases and i think i might go with the iSkin Evo3. I think Silicone is the way forward, not sure about the hard cases. I might have a look around the shops as i'd prefer to see it before i go it on the net.

    Next stop looking for a decent armband.

    Trevor, believe it or not, after watching this video on the eVo3 I DIDN'T want one. This is the ONLY video I've seen at this point on the internet of the case, and iSkin's website sucks. The pictures are nothing compared to this clip.

    http://www.gadgettv.net/iskin-evo3-ipod-video-case-review

    It's a podcast that shows how to use one and a bit about it. The case doesn't really offer any screen protection. The "Visor" is a clear firm plastic insert that doesn't go inside the screen section as most cases do, it goes over the ENTIRE front and is secured by tucking it into the edges of the silicone on the 4 corners. This struck me as being very unstable and it looked like it would easily slip out. You may feel differently but I was >this< close to buying it until I saw that video. Hope that helps!

    Ahhh, this is the type of review you rarely see, I'll have a good look at this. You ordered a zCover's ISA 5G after reading your review/comments and mentioned they shipped abroad from Canada. Where are you based? Pretty obvious where i am but was wondering if it's England.

    I'm in the states. But the website did mention something about international orders overseas (I believe it said Worldwide) so it's worth taking a look.

    That's the one! Good find! Yes, it attracts dust and lint like a magnet, but it feels nice and protected. :)

    Do you find it easy to keep clean though?

    yeah, just a wipe with your hand will make it come off. it just attracts the dust and lint in your pocket, mostly.

    Yes Trevor, I do, Jaz has got it, just wipe it down, it comes off easy enough. Worse comes to worse you *can* wash it. It should be simple enough to clean off though

    No problem, mate. And no, nitrous, I don't think anything is "perfect" but what really is? We find what suits most of our needs. Weigh the benefits, and pick what has the least amount of cons :p

    I just got the iPod Socks and use them when traveling and use the factory case at school. I thought about it and decided there is know point in a case to me because you can see the beauty of the ipod when it's in the case.

    To each their own, Nitrous. To me, I would never buy an iPod sock because a) I could just grab a stray sock from the laundry haha and b)It won't protect it from scrapes and scratches and whatnot. It all depends on what your needs and likes are.

    I just figure I will use my iPod to it's fullest extent (even if it means scratches) while I have it because in another 6-12 months or more I might get a new iPod or something
