Please choose the appropriate forum for this topic. Thank you. I just received my new ipod case. I ordered the DLO Executive from everythingipod.com. The ordering process was easy. The website is nicely organized, but, there was a problem. I decided to pay the extra $5.00 to receive my order a little earlier. I chose the the two day U.P.S. service but was suprised to find that my order took more than 5 days to arrive. I chalk this up to the weekend falling right in the middle of the shipping process. But, nonetheless, I checked the tracking on this order and was outraged when I noticed that my case was just a measly 15 minutes away. I could of drove there and picked it up. It appears that U.P.S. decided to hold my order on Saturday. I will never know just what happened, and what actually caused the mixup.

The good news is I received the case early this afternoon. I opened the box to find a stylish and practical device within my reach. The case is constructed from a somewhat high grade of leather for the exterior, and a soft felt like interior. The 20gig ipod fits a little loosely, but in no way is this a problem. I suspect that the case is actually designed for the 40gig, and is adequate for the 20. This is actually a good design decision and surely cuts costs.

The case comes equipped with 2 credit card slots and 1 slot for a driver's licence. I like this feature and it was a major player in the decision making process when I placed my order. The ipod is protected nicely by the leather outer shell and is equally safe on the inside thanks to the felt lined interior.

Another interesting and useful feature is the built-in earbud pouch found on the outside, front of the DLO Executive, which also doubles as a money pocket. Or perhaps, extra cash could be hidden away behind the ipod, in that extra space I spoke of earlier.

The final feature I am going to address is the detachable, swivel belt clip that comes standard with the purchase. The clip feels solid and secure, and I have no fear of my pod dropping to it's demise.

Overall - With many useful features and a price that isn't out of reach for most, I rate the new Executive from DLO as a great buy. As long as you avoid the 2 day U.P.S. shipping.
