Our wings are not tired

I've got the Belkin headphone extender. What are the bad reviews of it saying to use instead? Yeah, it's a bit long, but, um, isn't the other option to not have working headphones other than the crappy Apple ones?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

there was talk of static, and too long, too ugly, blah blah blah.

What about carry case? cover? belt cover?

I had one of the silicone cases but it ended up stretching so I took it off. I'm actually looking for a new case now.

I've not had any static on my Belkin adapter. Once again, is there another option? I've not really looked too hard for other options.

that's what I thought, but wasn't sure. So best to avoid it then. Was it from squishing in and out of pocket?

I think it was just the day to day use that caused the case to loosen.

I'm leaning towards this for a carry case: [link] Based on iPod use, a hard shell carry case is just bulky and a waste.

Is there need for a screen protector film thingie?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I also have an ipod question-

I can't stand the earbuds. I have the in-ear ones [link] but I didn't really care for the original ones either, and they just keep popping out of my ears. Is there something special I am supposed to do? What I really want are giant earmuff headphones, but that seems silly for an ipod! Any suggestions?

I have the giant earmuff headphones and a tiny nano. It's silly but I can't work the earbuds either. (And they keep your ears warm in winter.)

I have these, which were pretty cheap and sound quite good. (I am definitely not an audiophile.) WTA linkyloo:

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

This is a stupid question, Sophia, but have you switched out the caps on your earphones and tried all three sizes?
