Those cases are great. I just wish they had the TuffWrap Accent version for the 5G iPod…

“Those cases are great. I just wish they had the TuffWrap Accent version for the 5G iPod…”
Similar to my thoughts. I’d figure the “accent” version would have been higher priority than these fairly plain looking solids.

I wish they’d package the gray one with the black and white ones. Group red with the other loud colors.

It’d be nice if these company’s would include true Transparent casing as a standard, just as they do for black and white.
Though, from the pics on their site, it looks like it exposes the whole bottom of the iPod. :-(

If they would just remake their great leather case for the 5G then I’d buy that one. I own this case for my 3G and it’s the best. Very easy to remove from the case, has the best best rotating belt clip and protects everything.
Skip all the rest and get the leather case.

Does anyone know if this case will work with the DLO Transpod (new version, not the Transpod Direct)? I am thinking about the TuffWrap or the eVo3 iSkin case -I will choose which ever works with my Transpod!
Peace~

I was just wondering, does this case have something to protect the screen as well?

They are okay looking, but somehow not as cool as thier nano counterparts. I would love to see the accent series for this.

I emailed the company and they responded very quickly saying they are in the process of making new products but could not say what products exactly. So that probably means the accent cases for the 5g’s. Hopefully anyway.
