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

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?

omnis,

I love my iskin for the ipod, I'm not sure how the cases for iphones hold up:

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?

I also used to own the earphones a step up in the series and they were great, but 10 ft of cord was too long, and end up being their undoing. (At least me stepping on them and tripping did.)

I have Sophia's earbuds, have tried all 3 sizes, and still they hurt my ears. I mostly listen to my iPod through the car stereo and my JBL iPod speaker, though, so I haven't invested in new ones.

Thank- I have tried 2 of the sizes and plan to try the others. I think I might just be too old for the earbuds!
