If the new contour is styled like the 3g ones, it will NOT support the itrip out of the case.  This sucks, since I will have to buy a cheap rubber skin instead since most of those have no top or convertible tops.

If anyone has ideas on quick and easy removal of the top of a contour with minimal invasiveness, let us know…

Got an honest, timely response from Contour customer rep. telling me that the Showcase will NOT support the iTrip, unfortunately.

Props to Contour for the quick, honest answer though.

Just got mine today! What a nice case! After ordering the Marware sportsuit convertable…and then returning it(I thought it was to bulky and didn’t like how the IPOD fit in it) I am very satisfied with this case!

I just received a showcase for my 4G 40GB Ipod. The case is AMAZING! It is everything I had been looking for in a case. The case does not take away from the looks of the Ipod. The overall functionality, design, and durability makes this case a winner. Highly reccomended.

Fantastic! These are THE best iPod cases, bar none. I purchased one at MWSF, and loved it. When they released a black one, I bought one for all my iPods. I’ve even been using the 3G ones for my 4G iPods.

Get a black one - it is the best and coolest case available.

Unfortunately, the new case is not iTrip friendly.  Other than that, it’s a cool case.

I read in a thread on the forums about the contour case, that they are soon going to release a version of the case that is iTrip friendly, for all who care. i dont know about the validity of this, but check it out.

i just got the 20g ipod the other day.
tis a cool thing. took a trip to chicago over the weekend and found out how badly i needed a case for the ipod. the itrip fm transmitter worked wonderfully, but needed to protect the front. this case is pretty great for that. i have friends that have the rubberized cases and their screens are all scratched. this isn’t too bulky either. only problem is that you can’t use any top attachments while in the case. the plastic is too thick to allow itrip or any other attachment to connect. hope this helps with any of your choices.
