Noreve Leather iPod Video Case
Readers of the PowerPage already know that I'm a proponent of wrapping everything in a case - especially the iPod. I cringe when I see people using shiny new iPods unprotected and remember seeing several that were used without cases and subsequently look like a piece of sandpaper was taken to them.
My current favorite iPod case is the "Leather 60GB Color Tradition" [4104T2] from Noreve. It's basically a larger version of the leather iPod nano case I reviewed back in October 2005.
Noreve cases are beautifully constructed of full-grain cowhide and look like a fine wallet, they're also lined with velvet to minimize scratching. It's an operate-in type case with a protective flap to cover the screen and clickwheel. Simply slide the iPod in and you're done. You can access the hold switch, earphone jack and dock connector while in the case. The Noreve case doesn't block the docking cable port so you can leave it in the case. As an added bonus the Noreve cases feature a completely removable belt clip.
Noreve now has a U.S. distributor - MCE Technologies, a boon for customers that are stateside. If you're in Europe you can order directly from Noreve in France.
The Noreve "Leather 60GB Color Tradition" case comes in black or white and is available for US$34.95 from MCE Technologies.

You should check out Vaja cases (dot com). A friend of mine got one for his 3G iPod, and it's the most beautiful leather case i've ever seen... like nothing else on the market. You can get them custom-made in any color combo you like.

I just took delivery of the Evo3 case from iSkin.com.
I used to have the Evo2 case for the previous gen iPod, and it was great. But this case has made a huge improvement, almost equal to the improvements made to the iPod itself this generation. The Evo3 has a all in one slip case that then gets covered by a plastic/pseudo-glass covering. It's absolutely wonderful. Totally protected (including the screen and scrollwheel) but there's no flap! So always accessible. And it's very stylish. Check it out!

Noreve and Vajacases do not have the same price !!! Vaja is double for approximatly same quality... To pay 70$ + shpping it is completely crazy and there is no removable belt clip without having to pay extra for it!!!e !

For anyone that has tried this case...
Does the 60gb iPod slide in and out of this case easily?
I have tried every case at the Apple store with windows for the screen and scroll wheel and have had no luck. I need to slip the iPod out every day to plug into my Dension mount in the car, yet I like a case that is usable to watch video and stay protected while not in the car. Thanks in advance.
