I actually don't use a case at all, most of them are too pricey or lame looking to me. If Apple had offered them when I first got my iPod, I would've gotten their set of iPod Socks, which are basically just form-fitting knit bags (socks!) for your iPod in a bunch of different colors. I always keep my iPod in my pocket or a bag, so having a scratch-guard like that would be much better than some thick "protective" case. As it is the back is pretty scratched, but I'm over it. So making your own case out of cloth would probably be a great idea if you can. But yeah, I love my iPod. It's sweet. |

have you guys heard of MP4?
its pretty tight. you can listen to mp3's, and FM radio. and the best part is, YOU CAN WATCH VIDEO! yes thats right, you can watch the lastest Naruto episode on a 3.5 inch wide screen. it can play many kinds of forms, avi, mpeg, asx, ogm (probably as much as your computer can) the 40gb one is 600 dollars, but at ebay, you can find it cheaper. i want my mp4 now. |

My 20GB 3G iPod is simply indispensible. I got it November of 2003 at the LAOX Apple-kan in Akihabara (woot) and since then take it everywhere (if I don't forget to charge it!)
I will say that the main thing that drew me to it was the effortless support of Japanese, which is essential for me since several thousand of my 4k songs have Japanese ID3 tags (and I wasn't going to convert them to romaji for another mp3 player.) Hell because of my iPod I recently ditched Winamp and moved to Foobar2000, because Winamp being the old beast underneath that it is doesn't support Unicode. This was causing conflicts between it and iTunes, which while it can read Shift-JIS doesn't always convert them properly giving me fits. That and ephpod doesn't like Shift-JIS either (which is a good utility if all you want is a syncing application and not a full media player that is iTunes.) |

Anyway, I don't see why someone would need 20+ gigs to listen to mp3s. I have a 1 gig sandisk mp3 player, and while it can't hold the contents of all my cds, it does hold everything I actually listen to. I have 280 songs on it, and I could probably put another 15-20 before filling it. Even if it didn't hold all the songs I want, it's not like it's that hard to change the songs on it.

The HP tatoo is pretty cool, geeky, but cool. But I guess something like a tenmaPod is something an anime otaku with an iPod can't go without? |

other than what is clearly my fault (my motherboard lacked USB2.0/firewire), and my songs lack Artist/Album Information, The ipod is fine. However, i feel that i already am recluse enough without the additional stimulus of the ipod, so i generally leave it at home. not that i hate it, i primarily feel ambivalent towards it. I love it, because it looks the best, it is the most stylish (in my opinion), plays with sufficient audio quality and volume. However, i dislike the burden of responsibility for it. I have to clean it (and its scratches) make sure it doesnt get wet (its been raining in LA), and Make sure it doesnt get stolen. Case: wtf is the point of an ipod if nobody sees it? might as well get a creative zen or an archos. or: clear and plastic works PS: engrave your ipod somehow. then it is undisputably yours. |

I have a 60 gb ipod video. While it is pretty unnecessary to have a 60 gb mp3 player, it does hold a lot of converted anime fansubs, which is good for road trips with a car power adapter also it serves well as a secondary hard drive. Plus the video out function and the abilities to read text documents makes it more versatile. Only draw back is that I got the black one and small hairline scratches become extremely visible on it.... also the battery life is pretty poor while watching a movie.

I got an iPod shuffle for christmas. I love it! It also doubles as a thumb drive for school, so it's a multitasker! As for a carrying case, I don't have one. My boyfriend has a carrypod he boughgt from j-list.com, and it's great! I think it was about 10-20$ bust i can't remember for sure.
