Recommendations for Ipod Touch case

I just got an Ipod touch and figure a case & screen protector are a good idea. Any reccomendations for types and or brands?

The iPod touch skins from Best Skins ever should work fine, and are cheap. bestskinsever.com

I have a slightly different version (darker stitching & a belt loop/kickstand) of this case, also from HandHelditems I think, and it's been great. With the case the Touch has survived quite a few tumbles and international trips without a problem.

Take a look at the cases made by Sena -- http://www.senacases.com/apple/ipod-...premium-stand/ -- that's the one I have.

I have a nice leather case from Belkin that I picked up at Best Buy. (It looks a lot like the picture in post #2 above.) Since case choice is such an individual thing, you might want to go somewhere like Best Buy or another store that has a large selection and see what works best for you. A lot depends on how you're going to use your device, where you're going to carry it (pocket, belt clip, in a purse or backpack, etc.), and what you want it to look like. Personally, I've never used the screen protectors and my iPod Touch doesn't seem any worse for it.

Check meritline.com Tons of cases (silicone, hard plastic, leather) in the $2 range. Shipping can be slow as some stuff comes out of Singapore, but you can't beat the price.

I use a cheap silicone case - probably not much drop protection but makes it more grippy in my hand and a screen protector.

The case cost about 2 pounds from amazon, personally I couldn't believe when I first started looking and saw many for $20 plus. And prices in CZ are unrealistically high for some reason.

I have a Belkin leather pouch with an open front and a belt clip on the back. it's great for carrying around on my belt or clipping to the magazine holder on a flight. I got it a JR for a good price. I had one of the clip cases with a magnetic fastener which was causing wifi connectivity problems...and techs the Apple Store told to me get rid of it. who knows...

I am a HUGE fan of the OtterBox cases. For the iPhone Touch the 3rd Generation Defender serises is awesome. I have the Otterbox Commuter on my iPhone and Blackberry. Droped both quite a few times and not a scratch. Bit more expensive (about $35-$40) but worth every penny.

I've had a leather case with a flap front for about 3 years. It looks good (kinda like a wallet) and protects pretty well. Was definitely less than $5 on Ebay. wj
