How about a aluminum case that looks like my G5 for my full size iPod. Now that would be sweet!

Does anyone think I could use this for the ‘Plays For Sure™’ Shuffle from LuxPro??

if you ask me, this thin looks worse that helixipod’s,  he had the sense to have the screws in the back and it looked alot thinner too.

This is really nice.  i really just wish that it will be available in Asia. if you have a powerbook this would be a great match!

wasn’t the site linked above not a Japanese Website? How far into Asia did you want it to get!?!?!

Helix’s case kicks this one’s butt.  The other user above was right; this makes the Shuffle look fat & squatty.  Helix’s complimented the shape of the shuffle quite well, and kept the simplicity, with rear-mounted screws.

What am I missing here…this case does have screws on the rear, according to these pics:

I believe Helixipod’s case won´t go into production, a single man operation running a CAD/CAM machine with such attention to details would be much more expensive than ysdesign´s model. It´s a good example of skill but not a profitable product.

it’d be profitable if he used something like [url=http://www.emachineshop.com]http://www.emachineshop.com[/url]

iPodLounge, didn’t one of your staff say something to Helixipod about helping him protect his design by not reviewing anything that was an obvious rip-off while he was getting his design into production? I understand this is a review, but it DOES seem like a ripoff.

What is the status of his cases anyway? I reviewed the big thread and saw that he had tentative pricing, but WHEN will his cases be available?

Hopefully, Helixipod will at least have his site up soon.  Either way, since this on eis not available in the US, it makes no difference!!  Since the helixipod thread was closed, I have not heard a thing!!!  Beuhler, anybody, Beuhler?

that’s not nice.

i think helixpod’s is much nicer, and i plan on getting one when it’s available. it’s also gonna be more fairly priced than that ripoff of $60.
