Thumbs up for Waterfields case

Here so you can see the back view...

Oh yeah I forgot to mention how helpful and friendly the waterfield staff were- it must sound too good to be true but they answered by emails promptly and personally

;-)

I have to agree, I have one now for my 2nd Gen 10GB. Case was shipped fast, and they even sent a personaly thank you card. Very nice indeed.

I don't remember paying $40.00 for my case, so I was a bit suprised when looking for my 3ed Gen (ordered last night).

anyway, I've been very happy with the one I have now, so going to bite the bullet and odered one more.

Thanks to the recomendation from ginalee, i am canceling my iSkin Exo order, and getting one of these cases. Hope it comes fast!!!

For those of you that said that the shipping was fast, did it come before the estimated shipping date from Airborne Express? Cause when I check it, it says the 24th, and i ordered it on thursday? thats 7 days, hardly fast compared to what you guys have been saying. Anybody shed some light on this?!?!?

I ordered it on thursday, it shipped on friday, and I did get ground shipping. I was just thinking that it might be as fast as the guy that said he got it second day after ordering.

I just got mine!!!! really happy, I will post a picture later, but I really ike it, I am surprised I like it so much. Its a little crooked, but I think that will straighten out!!!

I'm happy for you and glad you like it - phew!

It's really like my mummy always said "good things come to those who wait"

;)

Just wondering, what color did everyone get? I got the white, Ginalee has white(from her pictures), what did you get hansolo?, anyone else?

I just ordered mine today, I got white as well. I will let you guys know what I think as soon as I get it. I am new to the portable music market so I don't have very good headphones (I have some misc. Sony wraparounds, and the Optimus Pro-135, i'm not sure if they are good or not), so I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions for a poor college student. I have noticed that many people have Sennheiser headphones..would those be good for me? Let me know what you guys think, all suggestions are welcome. :)
Thanks,

Oh, and I forgot to mention, please recommend headphones that won't make me look like a dork walking around campus :D thanks

How strong is the belt clip? Is it as strong as the 'ulra' clip on the vaja or extrememac?
And can anyone throw up a URL for this company's site?
Cheers

Ah yes thanks. Their site states that it is the ultra clip as used on the vaja etc.

I was hoping for an all-white version rather than just white trim on the sides. I took the trouble to get white fontopias and the white belkin phone splitter.

I have to say that from the photos it's not really nice to look at. At $40 you're most of the way to a Vaja and it's over $10 more expensive than the extrememac or DLO sports case...

After much deliberation and following of threads in this forum I opted to buy Waterfield's iPod case for my 15gig. I paid $40 plus $23 via Airborne Express.

I ordered/paid for it online last Monday and it was on my doorstep on Thursday afternoon! California, U.S. to Austria, Europe mind you. I was floored by the speed and efficiency of the shipper! I DO realize that shipping was 1/3 of the overall cost but given the security it gave me and their performance I would still recommend it to other non-U.S. consumers.

My thoughts on the case itself: Well I chose it for the following reasons:

- good workmanship/doesn't look and isn't cheap/is durable
- no silly/unnecessary logos on the case cover
- wanted something other than leather (executive-agenda-looking) and plastic (less durable) that would protect iPod from fall
- lets me store earplugs and operate iPod while in case

My expectations were fulfilled 100%. I only remove the iPod from the case for dock charging since I've noticed that the unit gets too warm while in the case.
I would have preferred it to be all-white in colour in keeping with the overall white-iPod-theme but then again you can't have everything.

Hope my experience will be useful for all those considering buying this case.

This is my first time posting pics so I hope they aren't too small/big/crappy:

how about a link?

The website for the Waterfield iPod case is http://www.sfbags.com

They seem to have some nice stuff; personally, I can't decide between the Waterfield case and the BOOQ case (http://www.booqbags.com). They are similar in many ways.

I'm glad you guys like the Waterfield case in person, since it doesn't look particularly good in pictures.
