I recently bought the carrying case for my new 10 gig Ipod and it's pure crap. I paid 40 $ for it and the #### thing has a solid front. I thought there was like holes in it so that you could actually USE the Ipod without having to remove it from the case. The funny part is that apple.com only shows pictures of the case from the side - you can't actually see how worthless it is. I mean, you might as well get a freakin' plastic bag and use that as a carrying case, what if you're on the threadmill in the gym and you want to change songs ?? You're going to have to un-clip the carrying case, remove the Ipod, and then change songs. Really stupid.
