The Cloud FunSkin is a white rubberized “fluffy cloud of protection and fun,” while the Grass FunSkin offers a spiky grass-themed design in either green or black. The cases, which fit both the 30GB and 60GB iPod, come with a screen protector and a removable belt clip. The FunSkins retail for $35 each.

I like the case that looks like a chunky tire - is that available for the 5 G yet?

Maybe it’s me, but these seem awfully overpriced for the level of dorkiness someone pays for. iGuy’s pretty outlandish and for someone who wants to make a statement, seems more worth it. These two however, just seem increasingly tired and dumber with every rehash for subsequent iPod designs. At the VERY least I hope these are better designed than Speck’s 5G SkinTights; the top edge of the LCD opening on that stylized ‘bathroom mat’ skin (that’s the imagery its molded dots reminds me of) is SO poorly executed; for the life of me it will not lay straight, instead always arched upwards and exposing the edge of the screen protector--just looks chintzy and cheezy instead of smart or stylish.
Even the cheap and generic $5 20GB 4G skin from CompUSA that I used on my 60GB 5G after I took a utility knife to the LCD opening looks better than the SkinTight.
