Deciding on a case

I reviewed the
DLO Action Jacket for 3G iPods (http://www.ipodlounge.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3852) in another thread. I bought it from http://everythingipod.com/ for $29.99. If you look at the picture you can see that the velcro straps go over the top leaving a space for your headphone jack, but if you had the iTrip you could just leave the top flaps unvelcroed and that should work just fine.

did you see the new booq case?

it looks pretty cool and seems like there are many configs... however, it is not cheap...

I just purchased the new Booq leather version case for my 30 GB iPod. I am a very happy camper! It looks great. The case functions better than expected. It fits my iPod like a glove. It has two pockets (the leather version only)... Magnetic snaps. It's only been a few hours, but so far, I am very pleased. I suspect this case is going to last a long time.

Magnetic snaps?!? Wouldnt that effect the iPod considering Magnets and Computer pieces dont do too well together? Hmm, well, does it have enough room for an ITrip on top? If so, then Im sold!

I don't believe the magnetic snaps carry a magnetic force that is strong enough to do any damage to the iPod hard disk.

There is an opening on the top to allow you to use the headphone jack or the iPod remote. These cases are for the 3rd generation iPod, so there is no opening for the 1st & 2nd generation iPod FireWire jack on the top. It may or may not allow the new version of the iTrip to work with the case on, but since I don't have the new iTrip yet (I have it on pre-order), I can not test it out. Though I suspect that the leather model which I have would work before the nylon model because the nylon is much stiffer, while the leather one allows some 'give' on the top.

Link,

I work for Marware and if you check out our website, you'll see that we have the best case.

www.marware.com

It shows all angles of the case and all the features and accessories...if you have any questions..just e-mail me and i'll help you out!

We are expecting the CEO classics the first week in august! I KNOW it's been awhile and trust me I KNOW how many calls we get. Sit tight..it's ALMOST here!

Yes it is available!

marware cases are so bulky and the convertible makes the iPod like 3 times as thick, so no ImaniJ, you guys dont make the best case. I would rather have something like the super dooper case or even the booq case.

You think the Boog case is thinner than the Sport Convertible with the flap on? I have the Sport Convertible, and it IS pretty bulky. It really can't be worn or carried in your pocket with the flap on. It doesn't look like you can access the hold button from the top of the Boog case without raising the flap though.
