IPOD hard cases

I am looking for a hard case for my new iPOD 5G. I have in mind the agent18 and the speck one. Which is most confortable? I know the agent18 permits full access to plug the iPOD to the computer. Does the speck one as well? Can both be used with the logitech mm50 speakers? Thanks in advance.

Yes you can charge off any USB anywhere in the world since USB ports are all standardized at 5V regardless of what line voltage the computer runs off of.
Can't help you with the 80GB case question, sorry.

  • Docking Speakers that Work with Hard Case

    Hey there. I am going to get an iPod Video and I am going to be getting a hard case for it and because of previous iPod experiences, I do not want to take my iPod out of it ever again. Thus, as I look for docking speakers, one of my main concerns is that I can dock the iPod whilst the case is still on. Are there any good docking speakers that work with the Contour iSee hard case?
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/4.RSLID?mco=1 6E37974&nplm=TG336LL%2FA
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey!
    By appearances it looks much like the Agent 18 case I use.Although I can't see the Dock access on the one you are looking at but they say "easy access to ports".If that's the case,you should be able to use the Bose Sounddock.I do and never take my Pod out.Just can't use the insert(not a major problem)for a snug fit.I can use all the ususal dock connectors too.Also,when you get your 5th Gn,leave the plastic film on the front.Also protects your clickwheel,and from scratches off the case itself.It does happen....

  • Transparent Hard Case For 15 inch MacBook Pro

    OMG this is so cool, im going to get one for my other lap top :D!

    Hi Everyone,
    I am one of the engineers at Speck involved in designing and launching the MacBook See Thru Case. Thank you for your interest and feedback regarding this product. However, after reading through this discussion page, I feel it is necessary to dispel some misconceptions about this case. We are a case company that has been designing, engineering and selling cases for years. I'm not sure which Agent 18 case (great cases by the way) is being referred to in the previous thread, but without knowing the exact case, I am assuming there are inherent differences in the mounting system used. Specifically the following:
    1. The "Sandpaper effect" occurs when two surfaces rub against each other. In the example with the ipod case, I believe (and because I don’t know which case it is, I can be wrong) that the scratching was a result of the ipod sliding into the case, or sleeve. Typically hard PC cases have tight tolerances, which leave a minimal amount of clearance. Because of this, the ipod is more likely to be scratched when inserted into the case. However, unlike the ipod case example, the Macbook case clips onto the MacBook. Instead of a sliding motion, the MacBook See Thru is a snap on and lift off system. Also, because the See Thru is clipped onto the Macook, it is a static system, thus no surfaces would be moving against each other.
    2. More importantly, we designed the MacBook See Thru with small spacers that keep a minimal distance between the surface of the See Thru and the MacBook. This means that unlike the Ipod case that sits against the surface of the Ipod, the MacBook See Thru maintains uniform clearance.
    Lastly, from a consumer standpoint, and user of many, many different CE devices, I am always hesitant to use adhesive films on my products. In my experience, they tend to leave a residue, which is sometimes difficult to get off, and makes your device have a higher affinity for dirt. This is not to say that all films are created equal (because there are some companies that have engineered them not to leave as much of a residue). Also, films tend to scratch and rip easier. Please remember that there may be some bias in my comments (being a Speck engineer that has been so involved in this project), so take them at your own discretion. But don't take my word for it, go out to the Apple Store and check them out for yourself. I think you won't be disappointed.

  • Any ipod touch cases out there for me?

    I've been all over the internet looking for the perfect case for my 1st gen ipod touch. I've seen some really stylish looking skins, but I want the protection of a silicone or hard case (I think I'm more partial to silicone). Can I have both style and durability? Does anybody have any recommendations?

    I ordered mine from ivyskin.com. (they make cases for iPods & iPhones) It's a hard case that completely encapsulates the entire unit, including a thin plastic cover over the touch screen to protect it from scratches. It's sleek design is lightweight and the clear case makes it almost an "invisible" shield.
    At around $30 it's comparably priced with all the other cases out there.

  • IPod Hard Disc Problems

    Hi,
    My iPod mini has a few hard drive problems. I restore it, I reformat it, I Reboot it. I some how manage to put one song on but otherwise its F%#@*ED!!
    Thanks,
    Luke Z

    Have a read the following but I have a feeling that the Hard drive of your iPod is dead likes mine
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    http://www.ifixit.com/
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
    Last Resort Level
    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

    2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
    Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

    I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

  • Hard Case for MBA

    Very keen on making my MBA purchase soon. However, I am one of those people who like to purchase all my protective accessories before purchase of the unit.
    I am looking for a slim, hard case for the MBA that can be then used to slip into my bag. Something that will protect from bumps and scratches too (if possible).
    Has anyone seen a product like this on the market?
    Thanks.

    This will work.

  • Ipod "Outer Case"

    I fell, and my ipod case bent a little bit and the "mirror/silvery" side got dented a couple of times. It bent at the bottom where you plug the USB cable into, and this makes it hard to put the cable in!
    I was just wondering if they have replacement "Outer cases" (the actual ipod casing... with the colour side and the mirror/silver side) for it!
    Thanks so much in advance!

    I wouldnt get a new one because that would involve taking out the electronics. I would go to www.handhelditems.com/apple-ipod-shuffle-apple-ipod-shuffle-cases-c-418614731.html / They have the metal covers that will cover up all those dents and make it look good and protect it.

  • IPod Classic case - 7th Gen

    I can't find anything!  It seems manufacturers stopped making cases with Gen 6.  I'm looking for something acrylic or that provides good protection.  I'm using the same case from my 160gb classic gen 6, a Power Support Crystal jacket - http://www.powersupportusa.com/accessories/ipod-classic.html.  I love the case but the new iPod is loose in the case and they didn't come out with a new one.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

    I bought this hard case for my iPod. I like it but you are right, there isn't a lot of choice out there!

  • Good ipod video cases?

    I just recently got an ipod w/video. It seems like there arent any cases for these 5G video ipods in stores. I've been looking around online and was wondering what some good full protection (screen and click wheel) cases are out right now. The iSkin eVo3 looks very good but I'm concerned that it looks pretty thick on the pictures. Any suggestions for good cases?

    Although it's a skin more than a case, I use the Zcover (www.zcover.com).
    http://www.zcover.com/zCoverProduct_iPod_G5Duet.htm
    It seems to work very well and offers full protection. I found it for $22.99 at MacMall.
    I'm not sure how well the belt clip would really hold, I took mine off.
    For hard case protection, I found the Contour Showcase 4G case I had works well on my 5G 60G. I did have to take my dremel tool to the headphone opening, just a tiny bit, for it to fit my large audio cable, but that's all. And the belt clip is rock solid on those. Glad I didn't sell it with the 4G I had.
    Hope this helps.

  • ExtremeMac MicroShield Ipod Nano Case

    Does any one have experience with ExtremeMac MicroShield Ipod Nano Case?
    How is it compare with the Agent 18 Shield 4 Nano case?
    Also, do you know the availability of any of them?
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    I have some friends at school who have both of theses. The one has a ExtremeMac case, and to be honest, it is flimsy and cheap. The sides of it are not smooth they are rough like you can see where the mold was to make it. The Agent 18 case that my other friend has is for the mini, but i dont think that should make any difference. It is the best case out there, it protects 100% of the time...unless you are running it over with a car or something, but that is highly rare...anyways, my nano is on its way, and im gettting the Agent 18 when it gets here for sure! wouldnt live without it!
