Well, I already took the plunge and bought the Cowon J3. I just don't have any protective case to go with it. Not sure if I want to go with ebay or wait it out with Rearth.

I currently have a 6th generation ipod classic, but I'm thinking about getting this. Is there a major difference in sound quality? Also, are the protective film and plastic case sold by COWON on Amazon worth it? That film in particular seems rather expensive...
Hi, i'm new here and i'm thinking of buying a Cowon J3 32gb (in white and with the jelly case). I have an ipod nano 2nd generation rockboxed, but for a few days ago i have serious problems to charge it, so i thought that it was the time to buy a new mp3 player. I searched specially something with a great audio quality, a decent battery and a good construction. My finalists were the Nationite S:Flo2 (but the battery is not at all good, less than 10 hrs!), the HM-601 (very bulky, ridiculous memory and also a bad battery life), and specially the ipod touch (better construction than the cowon, better display ¿?, and specially the ipod has a line out). But i read a lot about the cowon j3 and people says that the cowon has a better audio quality, a really good battery life and i like the microsd slot.
My street headphones' are usually the ath es7 (in the next weeks/months i want to buy a westone 3 / earsonics sm3), but i use sometimes my mp3 player also with my grado sr225i (with mahogany cups). So my question is: Can the cowon j3 moves this headphones so good (or better) that my nano rockboxed? There is any sense to buy this player (cowon j3) if in the future i want to use it with a headpone amp? I.e. what is better in audio quality: a cowon j3 + e.g. a Pico Slim or a Ipod Touch + a Pico Slim (through the dock's line out)?
For the instant i don't think about an amp, but in the future maybe i change my mind (and i'll buy a messenger for that purpose ).
Thanks for your help and sorry for my terrible english
I'd really like to hold out for the Rearth Ringko, but I don't know how long it'll take them to get a new shipment in on their website. The places where they sell them are limited,too. If I can't get them, I'll settle for the plastic case.
Also, does the plastic case still let you use the buttons or does it just cover everything? I can't really tell with the picture.
Edit: Okay, maybe I'm an idiot. I didn't notice they were selling both the ringke and the ringbo on the website. I thought the ringbo was just some fancy nickname for the product. Still, I suppose it would have been nice to have the ringbo too.
It also looks like I won't be able to order from rearthusa either. It's one of those websites that auto-check for a proper shipping address. Apparently I have an obscure APO address that some websites deem invalid even though I've had items shipped here.
Now i have to fast, eat for some days and fast again to buy the Westones... It's hard the life...
