I am looking for a case for my iPod photo. I'd like to find a rubbery one that can protect the iPod from scratches and dings in my bag, but that doesn't increase the size much.

Any specific recommendations? Places like ipodlounge.com cause me option anxiety.

Thanks.

There are probably 100's of them, just pop into the local BestBuy or Compusa and pick one up. Available in many colors, shapes and sizes...

We tried one on my wifes ipod but didn't like any of them, we ended up going with a hard case/sports case from Contour.

i recommend iSkin. check the link below to see the different cases.

I like the Speck cases if you use a dock, because the bottom half flips up so that you don't have to remove the whole iCondom.

We tried those, and hated them. Getting the ipod in is a hassle, it isn't a perfect fit (after a few days the case wiggles a little in parts).

I got a nice leather cover from the Apple store after a long and hard search. It costs just as much as those rubber ones but is WAY nicer.

I just checked mine, and it wiggles too. But I don't really have a need for a tight fit...

These guys have a wide variety of iPod stuff http://www.xtrememac.com/ I've seen some of their stuff on the shelves at Apple retail stores, and it seems to be well-designed, but I can't yet personally vouch for any of it. (I'm waiting on the AirPlay transmitter for iPod shuffle, which I ordered just after it was announced. Seems to be the best designed such device out there.)

I got a no name "jacket " at my local CVS store. It is made of wetsuit material like body glove. it fits snug but not a hassle to put in or take out. it is purely a storage device though no slots or windows. it works good for me and was less than 5 bucks

^^^^^

Their products ROCK. We got their ipod mini case, comes with a belt clip, lanyard AND car holder. The also do a regular ipod case:

The nicest ones are at www.vajacases.com

They make cases for lots of PDAs, mp3 players etc. They are exquisitely well made leather cases. Expensive and it takes a while to get them (many are custom made, you pick color etc) but the quality, craftsmanship and design are the best I have seen by a wide margin. They fit like gloves. Ive had a number of them for various devices as has my wife. I wont even look at other cases now if Vaja makes one for what I am looking for.

Wow on the vaja cases. I had ordered a set of Speck cases from Amazon but I am going to see if I can cancel that order.

My wife loves the colorful Kate Spade leather case she has for her iPod mini. Don't know if they make one for iPod, though.

And for another opinion....

I ordered a couple of the "PodSleevz" from RadTech. These are made out of ultrasuede and do a very good job of protecting my ipod from scratches and dings. The MAJOR benefit is that the material is very thin and doesn't make the ipod any bulkier. All controls work very well through the fabric. Unlike the rubber cases you aren't giving up anything in terms of size or ergonomics with the PodSleevz... (It's easy to get the ipod in and out as opposed to the rubber cases)

An added benefit is that the material is "sticky" when placed on other fabric... that means that I can place the iPod on my leg while sitting and it won't go anywhere (especially helpful for those times when I fall asleep listening to music).
