Hey, it's been awhile since I've checked out the different iPod covers. Now I look, and there are thousands. I have a 20gig right now, but I will be getting a 60gig photo sometime and i want a cool cover to go with it.

What i'm looking for

- a cover that is relatively see-through
- won't scratch iPod while putting it on
- compatible with iPod dock
- click-wheel protection (optional)

=======

If anyone knows of anything that offers that kind of protection, please reply. The only thing i've found so far is the case that is offered on Apple's website, which supposedly kills your iPod when you apply the case. thx

this is about the best i've seen so far, if you still want to see your iPod through your case http//store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/72303/wo/cv5D65PV5oA33VfzCc32IGJ48go/2.0.0.11.1.0.6.9.3.19.0.1.1.1.1.0.1.0.3

Not sure lol, $10 isn't much for one and it won't break me so I'll see how it goes.

ipodlounge has decent reviews of covers. i'm leaning towards the lajo ones just b/c of the docking capabilities.

OMG!!! the new eVo2 Wild Sides looks AWESOME!!! http//iskin.com/wildsides.html[]http//iskin.com/wildsides.html. Talk about attention grabbing.

There's like 5 threads on this already. Can a mod merge them?

The answer is Lajo. His cases pretty much equal iSkins at a fraction of the price. He also came out with art cases before iSkin, and is now selling them cheaper too.

www.lajo.biz

For leather, many say vaja is the best, but I haven't tried them.

dude, that new glowing iSkin crap looks sweet! I wonder if they come with clear screen protectors though? Photo ipods would like like shit with those color screens.
