Ipod Case In-Town?

[bob2300]

Honestly I dont know what kind of case I want. I was hoping I could get it intown (circuitciy, bestbuy, compusa, ect).

I am coming from an altoids case (zen microphoto) and its hard picking a type of case cause of that.

I wanted to get a full skin guard-like the screen protectors (not the silicon); do they make one for the Ipod classic (80gb)? Could I buy one intown? I thought about buying just big sheets of the static protectors but I want the sides to be protected aswell.

If this is not made yet (for the classic) or in-town. Then I need an alternative; what case are good that I can find intown? I want it to be as least bulky and noticable as possible. I just need scrach protection not dropping protection.

Thank You

I've read that you don't really need one for the Classic. I'd get an invisible shield screen protector, though.

What? The back scraches so easily. I like it too stay looking new!

Isn't the 6g (Classic) different?

No, same metal back. It just doesnt have the plastic front-its now anidoized aluminum.

The plastic/aluminum was what was scratching easily on the >6g ipods. the matte finish should help against that. 'Could be wrong though, I don't have one.

I few seconds of googling easily confirms that they have the same aluminum backplate.

I just bought the Treadz (in black) with the laminate that covers the whole face and a purple bandz (although you can't use the Bandz with the iMod...blocks the dock port), and got all three items for $14 (50% off sale), shipped to me in one day.

Not sure if they ship to Mexico, though.

Monolith: Thanks for clearing that up; maybe they will believe me this next time!

immtbiker: Thanks for the advice! BTW I live in Nuevo México=New Mexico--A state of the USA (some people have actually told me that they didnt know that New Mexico is a state! lol)

Fatman711: They dont make a case for the 6G ipod; probably wont fit since that has to fit exactly.

I couldnt wait another day since I hate scratches. I bought the Belkin Brushed Metal Acrylic case at officemax. I like it. It slide in tightly (wide); but once I put the faceplate on I actually saw that the ipod (6G) is alittle thinner around the edges (if you push on the edges they will go in some; but you have to push them kindof hard).

Overall for a 5G case I was really impressed at how well it fit. Also it has a clear cover around the touchpad. While other case made the touchpad unusable (or so I have heard, with the 6G ipod); this one is a really thin cover it interfears alittle but diffinitly not bad at all (you have to put alittle bit more pressure). There is a hard plastic cover over the screen, which I really like since I didnt need to get a screen protector. Also the silver is a very dark shade-grey. Its darker than the amazon.com pictures, this compliments the black ipod 100%.

It is rated low in the only 2 reviews at amazon. But if you look at the other colors you will see that overall its actually very highly rated.
Here it is ($30@circuitcity, $20@officemac):

EDIT: Looks like amazon is selling that case though different sellers; more reviews and picture here:

Wow...It's about time that they moved New Mexico back into the US. Now if we can only work on Baja California

I am going caseless. The screen of the classic is made of the same scratch resistent "optical grade glass" that was used on the iPhone. Why put a cheap plastic cover over such a nice screen? I mean your case will get scratched easier than the actual screen of the iPod.

I am willing to accept the fact that the back of the iPod WILL get scratched. I am ok with that.

i thought the screen was still plastic
