Looking for protection options for my 30 g. video 5th gen. iPod.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is the best product to protect my new toy? I was looking at the rubber cases but my baby is the black iPod and I don't want to spoil its beauty and simplicity with a stupid rubber case that makes it look weird -- not to mention mess with the beautiful colour. I would like something that plays thru so that the entire unit (except for the earplug and charge outlet) is completely surrounded, encased and safe!
I have been looking at little cases but my concern is dirt, dust et al because this baby is so small, I don't want it to get ruined, scratched or nicked.
I hesitate to buy the cases I have seen here because I like to look, touch and feel the stuff I buy when it comes to protectants for my toys.
Can anyone give me suggestions as to a really nice cover (preferrably clear) that I can purhcase which will be like armor for this little gadget?
PS: I have noticed that there's not a lot of cases for the iPod -- more for the nano, mini and older generations. Is that my imagination? Am I just looking in the wrong places? While I think the Nano is cute, once you get 30 Gs it's hard to go back to 2.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi jmgmacgirl,
IMHO, the best option is the clear plastic cases. They do not take any of the ipod's beauty away and allow the same functionality as without the case. My personal favorite (And only recently released) is one from ContourCase. However, there are others that are similar.
Enjoy your iPod

  • Looking for J2ME audio or video player

    Hello all,
    I am looking for an audio or video Java player which can be used on Foundation of J2ME platform. It is better an open source Java player (but not a must requirement). I am wondering where can I find related sources?

    I think there's at least a couple of small application examples in the java tutorials; why don't you start looking at:

  • TS1368 Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store.  I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card.  I am going to return both of these items it I cannot find a fix for this.

    Make sure that you can access the Internet on your computer or device.
    Make sure that your computer meets the iTunes minimum system requirements.
    Make sure that your operating system is up-to-date:
    Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store.  I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card that I cannot use(been trying now for 6 days).  I am going to return both of these items if I cannot find a fix for this.

    When I called Apple (after wating 42 min. for a live person) I was told to run the APPLE Software Update and turn off location services then restart my computer.  There were no available updates. The iPod touch I got on Christmas day.  The iTunes app was downloaded the same day.  Since day 1 I have not been able to connect.  I also followed lllaass's advice and followed instructions on the following 2 websites.
    http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/09/20/fix-for-cannot-connect-error/
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIUitRyZS6U
    After restarting my computer:
    From the iTunes app I click on the 'iTunes Store'
    A new window opens and I get the following message:
    This Apple ID has not yet veen used with the iTunes Store.
    Please review your account information
    So I click on 'Review' and am taken to a crude screen that says
    Welcome to the iTunes Store
    With an Apple ID, you can download the latest music, videos, and more.
    To begin creating your Apple ID, click Continue.
    So I click on 'Continue'
    A pop up window says:
    We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
    There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later.
    And the only option I am left with is to click 'OK'
    After every fix this same scenerio just loops and loops and loops

  • Very poor Customer Service for 5th Gen IPOD

    Hello,
    I have been trying to get the missing parts for the 5th Gen Ipod Video I received for Christmasfor the past couple of hours. The box was never opened and wrapped in cellophane. It is missing the earbuds, foam earbud pads and usb cable along with anything else that comes with it. So I go on the tech support site and nothing is offered for missing parts. I call customer service who then tells me I have to call Tech support. I call Tech support who then transfers me to customer service. Customer service then tells me that if it wasn't ordered thru Apple.Com I'm SOL. I asked to speak to a manager. Shannon in customer service instead transfers me back to Tech support. So I waited and politely spoke to them telling them what I have gone thru. Justin in Tech support asks me to hold for a couple of minutes which I do then he disconnects me. I'm on the website looking for an email to Apple customer service and can't find one. Can anybody help with an email contact to get my missing parts. Taking the IPOD back would involve shipping back up North to have the person who gave it to me as a gift to take it back then reship it back to me. I had never had an issue with previous IPODS and this is just insane.
    Thanks,

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Sorry for all of the trouble
    Call this number again...
    1-800-275-2273
    And tell them what has happened, what you have gone through, etc. Be polite and just say that you are just looking to get headphones that didn't come with (although I find this strange, but I'm not at all saying that you are lying).
    Apple doesn't really have email support for iPods, so I'd just call again and explain what you've gone through.
    Good Luck!

  • Can I set a time limit for usage on a 5th gen ipod touch

    My daughter just got a 5th gen Ipod touch. Of course she is using it at times she shouldn't be. Is there a way to set a time limit for usage so she can be responsible for monitoring herself without us nagging all the time?

  • Solution for making 5th gen iPod working under Win98

    It seems that there is still a demand for using iPod with Windows 98.
    So, thanks to Josh input, I have upgraded iPod Win98 drivers for 5th gen iPods.
    Version 2.3 supports both a new video iPods and Nano being backward compatible with 3G, 4G, Mini and Shuffle.
    Regarding iTunes replacements I've seen some users reporting success with Winamp iPod plugin v. 1.3.
    More info at http://win98.drivers.w.interia.pl/ipod.html

    I know you said windows 98 but do you think it would work on window ME? i've got music on my old computer that i would like to transfer over without re-ripping the CD.

  • ITALK FOR 5TH GEN IPOD? or similar?

    Hi,
    I used a Griffin iTalk for voice recording with my 3rd Gen Ipod and now I just bought a 5th gen Ipod (30g) and obviously the iTalk doesnt work. Is there a voice recording accessory for the new 5th gen Ipod available somewhere on the market?
    Thank You
    Jadee

    Currently no. Several manufacturers have advertised forthcoming voice recorders for the 5th gen, but so far there are none on the market.

  • Looking for app to show video, music, game memory usage

    I'm looking for some utility app that can give some detailed info on how much memory is being used for each category of content such as videos, music, apps, etc.     All I seem to be able to find are apps that show the total amount of memory being used.   I'd appreciate any suggestions for good utilities to use for this.   Thanks.

  • Looking For a Download Any Video App iMac

    All I want to do is download any video using an app that works with an iMac.  is there such an animal? Thanks for any help

    Well, let's not wait for the future.  Here it is: On Firefox you can download a video helper and install it. That enables you to go any site on the internet with video. If you want to download a video  to your desktop, let's say, you look for the swirling rainbow color balls, and next to it is a symbol that when you click on it  reveals the video playing. You click the video title, and it is downloaded to your desktop if you so choose that location.  Can I do that with Safari?  Can I go on the internet and look for the equivalent download helper for mac?  I don't want to always download videos using Firefox, though it's very easy....Thanks

  • Recommend a case for a 5th gen iPod Nano

    Just got a 5th Gen Nano and looking for a good case to protect it. I actually got one of these...
    http://www.amazon.com/Incase-Slim-Sleeve-iPod-Nano/dp/B002SK6M7A/ref=sr1_fkmr13?ie=UTF8&qid=1269585897&sr=1-3-fkmr1
    ...but it's hard to get to the controls with it.
    Any suggestions for something to protect the iPod, but allows easy access to all the controls?

    I use this one. Pros: Works perfectly. I like the clip on the end as I wear the iPod around my neck or clipped to a waist band if I don't have any pockets.
    The leather is sturdy & not in the way of any of the controls. I do not have to remove the case to recharge, use click wheel, hold button & earplugs.
    Case was free from the place I purchased my iPod from.
    Cons: I have to remove the case to show people the color of my iPod & my custom engraving.

  • I lost my ipod today and i tried using "find my ipod" in icloud using my friend's ipod and i found out my location services was turned off. please help. i'm desperate. i paid for it and its the 5th gen. HELP.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAASEEE HELP!!!!
    As i said up there , i have lost my ipod touch 5th generation today. worst day ever. im 14 and i paid for it with my own money. $317!! i was so proud of myself. so i went to the mall and i put it in a bag and got home and went to the park behind my friend's house. now im not sure if i brought it with me to the park (dont think so) or it fell in my friend's room after i came home from the mall. but i seriously can not find it and im REALLY sad. i have been balling my eyes out throughout the whole day and me and my five friends including my parents and my friends mom have been looking for it. i heard something about telling the police or something and they would help?? i'm not sure about that. cause why would they wanna help a 14 year old girl find an ipod touch when theres other very important matters. Even though this is SUPER important to me, it may not be to them. ik this is all my fault. mother always said "dont leave it in your back pocket" and of course i do while i skateboard. wow. im stupid. i need to gaurd that thing with my life. its very expensive. please help. this ipod is like my life. it was logged onto instagram and facebook and a bunch of social sites. yes, i have a lock on it but cant they go to a store and say "i forgot my password" and they hack into it? i changed my instagram password and apple ID password so far. but i really need to find this ipod. tomorrow im going to the park to look for it in the grass. HOPEFULLY IT IS THERE. then im going to the apple store if i dont find it. i will go to extreme measures for this ipod. ITS THE FIFTH GEN. BLUE. its beautiful. i already broke my 4th gen ipod like 2 times. but thank you for reading all this.. i need help D:

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product                               
    - iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
    There is little chance of recovering your iPod. The police will do little. It it is turned then they can contact you.

  • Should I wait for the 5th gen iPod Touch or keep my 64Gb 4th gen and not return it?

    Bought a 32Gb iPod Touch and while it was being shipped I realized I'm going to need the 64Gb's if I plan on removing the music off of my 64Gb iPhone and putting it on the iPod and using my iPod as my music source. So I took it ot the Apple store last night and swapped it for the 64Gb. Well I got to thinking, this thing is just over a year old - a new one HAS to be on its way in the near future, right? Certainly they wouldn't go a full two years to refresh the iPod's with the A5 chips that have been out almost a year already. If they were to go with another September launch for the iPod but next year the A5 chip is almost irrelevant by then, A6 will be in the iPad 2S/3, A6 will be in the next iPhone ----- and then the old A5 would just be dropped into the iPod? Just doesn't make logical sense to me. I believe an iPod refreshment will be launched fairly soon, maybe a long side the next iPad release? What do you guys think? The way I'm just seeing it is that I don't really need the iPod right now, so that $400 credit could be used for even double the space the 64Gb has for the same price when the 5th gen launches? And whatever other bells & whistles the 5th gen will offer. I'd feel stupid for paying the $400 knowing I don't need it quite yet and that a refreshment could possibly be on the way soon. Thoughts?

    It is all up to you.  I have not heard any announcement from Apple about a 5G iPod touch.  SInce you do not "need" then wait.
