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?

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!

I have a pair of earbuds, only they have ear clips. They work much better than the regular buds. OTOH, I generally only wear them under ear protection earmuffs so they are helping to hold the buds in place too.

ear clips!?! Wow, I m,ight have to look into that.
Also, would it be weird to get an external hard drive for my work computer? I have my ipod synced there, but there is LOTS of room on my ipod, and none on my hard drive. I don't have the internet at home, so don't have itunes. My workplace is pretty lax about things like that, so I don't think it would be a problem as long as I am purchasing the music and videos from itunes and not downloading illegally. How do you attached an external hard drive, and can you make the music/videos be stored on it INSTEAD of the regular computer, or is it just a back-up? As you can tell, I am a bit clueless. However, my ipod has 70G left, while my computer is out of room just having 7 episodes on TV on it!
