iPod Cases Buying Guide
Think of an iPod 
as an investment. They hold your music, pictures and other important data. Like other investments such your coin collection, your iPod should be protected with a case. They cost far less than replacing an iPod (or an insurance policy for your coin collection), and are quick to pay for themselves. Cases are available in just about every colour and flavour these days; the question is which one is right for you?
Popular Case Types
Cases act as your first line of defence when it comes to protecting your iPod.

Rubberized or acrylic cases are great for frequent travel and occasional drops. |
Belt Clip cases are great for the iPhone or iPod Touch. They allow you to keep your iPod on your belt for quick, easy access. |
Designer cases dress up your iPod to look as stylish as you. |
Armband cases are a favourite among those who love to exercise with music. Some are made to work with or without the armband. |

iPod socks offer great basic protection from scratches and debris. They are usually sold in multi-coloured packs so you can pick your favourite colour. |
Sleeves cover the entire iPod and controls in a protective sleeve to shield it against scratching and debris. |
Give your iPod some serious style with a Gelaskin. More of a personal statement than a case solution, gelaskins offer little protection from scratches and drops. |

Choosing a Case
When choosing a case for your iPod, it's important to consider where you use your iPod the most.
- If you carry your iPod in a purse or handbag, consider using an iPod sock.
- Your bag already provides shock protection; the sock will guard against scratches.
- If you frequently bring your iPod in the car, choose a case that doesn't cover the screen or controls.
- Do you like to carry your iPod in your pocket?
- If so, try to buy a case with a sleek design.
