Ipod classic size?

Thinner is actually better because after having numerous cases the only one I like is the Body Glove case, but it has always seemed a little tight the earphone jack would'nt line up right.
GOOD NEWS THANKS.

The dimensions of the new 160gb classic are: 2.4 x 4.1 x .53 inches.

The dimensions of the 5g 80gb are: 2.4 x 4.1 x .55 inches.

So, the new 160gb classic is only .02 inches slimmer in depth. So, most cases should still work. However, like Jesse said, the edges are slightly different, so there is a chance that a specific case won't work.

Wikipedia says the 4th-gen biggie iPod was "1.9 cm thick". Now where's a converter...

The OP's question dealt with the 5g 80gb, not the 4g. The size of the 4g is irrelevant.

It's relevant to me, buddy. The title of the thread is "Ipod classic size?", and the OP asked it specifically in regards to the 6th-gen classic fitting the case of a previous-gen classic iPod. I found the thread and purposely posted my question here as well. It would be a little overboard to make seperate "classic case-size" threads for the 1st-gen, 2nd-gen, 5th-gen 30gb, 5th-gen 80gb, etc. If anyone has Apple dimension specs for the 4th-gen, yeah... that's relevant - to me, everyone else who has a 4th-gen, and the thread's topic in general.

Anyway, 1.9cm converts to 0.748in. I'm tickled pink to be tacking on 100gb and doubling the battery life in a still thinner package. Wonderful job Apple.

My apologizes. Your first post (the question) was posted at the same time as mine. Therefore, I did not see it. All I saw was your later comment about the size of the 4g, and I thought you were responding to the OP, not posing an additional question.
