its not that they knew in advance, just that it happens that the colors are the same. for all we know, they were just making cases for all 30 GB 5G iPods.

And no pansy-U2 humanitarian/save the Earth/care for the downtrodden tie-in to boot.
Just plain unadulterated GREED; abuse the symbolism of that crimson cross. Very appropriate for 6-6-06; Lucifer, my pal, is just beaming. Way to go, D-L-O!

I love it. It perfectly matches the new iPod. I’m buying because I hated all the other cases for 2 reasons
1. No fun its supposed to be a music player not something for buisness.
2. They all cover the click wheel when I want direct acess.
I would give it 6/5 stars

I also received my case today. Unfortunately, it definitely does NOT fit a 40gig 4G iPod as is advertised, which is a shame because I do like the styling of the case quite a lot.
