The Wrap

I use one of the ones for the original iPod's and I really like it. It does a nice job at keeping it from getting scratched up and the only thing I have to open it for it to use the scrollwheel. That's not a big deal though since I generally just let it play randomly.

If I am not mistaken, you will not even have to take of the Wrap to do the scrollwheel since it is also touch sensitive. I just confirmed that by placing a piece of Saran wrap over the wheel and it still scrolled.

think he's talking about an original scroll-wheel ipod there dude.

I just ordered one on Sunday. Anyone know how long their shipping takes?

Hi All,

I ordered one yesterday , I was told that it would take ~ 6days to get to Australia. Will post when it does arrive.

cheers

One more question: I'm thinking of getting the DLO jam jacket. Does anyone know if the 30GB iPod will fit into it with the Wrap on as well?

It has been 7 days and am still waiting for my iPod Armour which was supposed to be 4-5 days (UPS courier), to arrive. Since the delivery option was quicker for the Armour, I dont expect JR Hill's wrap to arrive on time.

However I am sure deliveries to Canada would be much quicker. 3 days sounds like a good estimate.

Down here we call Saran wrap either 'cling wrap' or 'Glad wrap'. :)

I received my MarWare SportSuit convertable case yesterday - VERY nice, and probably will provide all the protection I need. I doubt I'll use The Wrap that much, if at all.

Want to send it to me then? :D

CanWinPod:

How much was it including shipping to Canada? I want to order one, but not sure of the exact cost including shipping. I couldn't calculate shipping, because it asked for a zip code. I'm in Toronto.

Thanks.

The whole thing: the Wrap and shipping cost me 20 bucks Canadian. Not too bad, really, excpet that the shipping cost almost as much as the wrap itself. Shipping = 7.00 US, btw.

Did you know that you can buy static wrap at almost any hardware store for a WHOLE lot cheaper than 8 bucks? I just baught a pack of 4 (8x12) sheets from my ACE hardware store for $2.99. What is even better is I can cut the design anyway I want. Just thought I would advise you to call your hardware store before purchashing from site. You might be surprised. :>

Yep, you can make this case in about 15min if you follow these simple instructions which i found in the news section of ipodlounge...

I made one with transparent blue vinyl type material (like watertoys are often made out of)..

It's really easy to do this way!

There you go!

I just got my iPod Wrap last night... I ordered it July 7th and it took over 2 weeks. I'm in Canada... I was a little ####ed that it took so long, but whatever.

Initial impressions are that it does what it's supposed to - protect your iPod. The plastic sheet is thicker than saran wrap and it adheres to the iPod itself. I have a gen2 20GB iPod and it fit well - not perfect, but well. It covers the entire front of the iPod - screen, buttons, and touch-wheel - which is why I wanted this in the first place. It does not cover the top of the iPod leaving the firewire port, hold switch, and earphone jack exposed. This is great because I *never* have to take my iPod out of the protective covering... I hope. I'm hoping I never get any scratches on my iPod now either *sigh of relief*... hehe. The plastic is a bit firm and it takes a little bit of trying to get it to conform to the iPod's shape.

I also have the Mareware Sportsuit Convertible case, and as soon as I get home, I am going to try slip the "wrapped-up" iPod in it... double protection!
