Best case for iPod -- what to consider

When I was exclusively using an old iPod Photo I liked a leather flip case. One майор inconvenience was that when the case's flap was difficult to open because the audio cable went right through it. And of course, it was impossible to put the iPod on the dock without taking it out of the case first. So, when I started looking for a case for iPod Classic, I decided to get a leather case, but the one that does not have a flap. The Belkin case pictured here works well. I especially like how the earphone cord can be wrapped around it to stay in place when not in use. However, new iPods can be used to watch movies and videos. This creates a different approach to what's important when choosing an iPod case. You see, the plastic that is used to protect the screen in flapless cases can get dirty so easily. It would be easy to go to a design with a flap, which does not have a screen protector. But then I am back to the old problem of not being able to open the flap all the way and having to keep it from shutting while watching a video. So, I am thinking about getting a sold plastic case, because even though the screen will be covered with plastic, this kind of plastic can be easily wiped before viewing videos on the iPod. I just wish I could have a case with a soft leather back.

To sum it up: remember that the video capability really changes what you might be expecting from you iPod case.
