Once again, Horwitz has written a clean and helpful review. Thank you. I am a Mini newbie; I am wondering why a $250 product needs a second skin. I can understand a bullet-proof case that protects the iPod from bumps, liquids and dirt, but I'm not so sure about a hybrid that offers some, but not complete, protection but which has greater usability. It is good that we have so many choices, though.

The best case by far is simply buying a protective sheet for the screen, ie a screen protector. Who cares about scratches on the side, this thing wont last longer than 2 years anyways (with battery life, it costs the same to just replace the ipod). People ought to live a little and enjoy the design of the ipod rather than cover it up and make it bulky.
Does it seem strange to anyone else that what you are doing, when purchasing a case, is protecting the look of an ipod which you will never see (because the case is on?) Maybe you need a case FOR the case?

This looks like a good case, how about a pic showing the top?
And I don't get it, what is Saunders?

I found that if you dont drop your iPod, you wont need a case.

"I found that if you dont drop your iPod, you wont need a case."
Unfortunately, drops are rarely planned ahead of time

Shields are handy, and they protect your mini and all, but they cover up the cool colors. So I'm not buying one! ^_^

I just got this case and I like it. But I hate the belt clip it makes your iPod flop around on your shorts. i love the one that came with my Mini, but I can't use it on this case.

What would be really cool is an aluminum case that has anodized colors to match the mini itself, or any color under the sun. I have seen some really cool cammo and multi-color anodized finishes on aluminum parts recently.

I've had the case for 2 weeks now and like the esthetics of it except for:
1) It flops around all over the place esp. when you're working out. Very annoying.
2) The clip sits high above the IPOD and sticks in your waist esp. when you’re working out. Very annoying.
3) The clip is thick and sticks out away from your body and gets in the way esp. when you’re working out. Very annoying.
and worst of all,
4) The clip managed to "unscrew" itself TWICE so far and caused the IPOD to drop on the floor. Thank goodness for the case protection. This is the result of a bad design and lack of usability testing.
Since there are not too many other decent-looking "case" options available, I plan to keep mine and literally glue the metal post to the screw hole.
