I'm ordering my iPod Touch (8GB) soon. Can anyone recommend a good case?

This is the one I have and I'm happy with it. The clip lets me keep it out of a pocket and the front flap keeps the screen protected (I'm terrible with running into table corners, etc.) The flap is removable so you can use it without it getting in the way and it's actually available now and at a good price. They say it has a removable clip but for the life of me, I can't get it off. Not that I would take it off anyway. Last I checked they don't have them in the Apple retail stores.

Personally, I would go for something like this. Cases like Mark's annoy me because I have to keep flipping them open. This one protects the body without getting in the way of the screen, so I can just take it out and start using it. It also probably works well with something like this, to protect the screen from scratches.

I ended up going with the DLO Folio. I love the case. The iPod touch is amazing. It's great out of the box, but I jailbroke it and and now find myself on the computer less and less. For short emails, I can just open the Mail program that's normally only on the iPhone. Safari is great and pretty fast. As more Wifi networks pop up, I'll never walk out of my door without this in my pocket. The one third party app I want the most is something a portable version of Billings so I can track working hours. An incredible device for $300. By the way, it's so thin, you could almost pull a Woz and cut meat with it. 8mm. Damn.

I'm loving mine too! My wife gave me one back in October. I haven't 'jail-broke' it, but it still meets my needs. Things will really get excellent when the developers get their hands on the SDK. I wonder what goodies the next firmware update will bring to the table...?

The main reason I jailbroke it is for the mail and maps app from the iphone. Mail is very slick. I'd have to see this is the best new UI I've seen since OS X.

Mmm, that's very tempting...

I have an 8GB iPod Touch. Problem being that it cannot be touched until December 25th. The anticipation is unbearable.
