I just got a 4th gen 20gig iPod, and was wondering what accessory I should get. I thought the iTrip was cool, I was wondering if the other earphones fit a lot nicer(since I have trouble fitting the normal ones in my ears), and I am also wondering if the leather case does a good job on protecting the iPod. Any suggestions?

hey, i just got one too. i would like the same info as well

 

[Megafoo Chavez]

i was looking for cases, i think i'm gonna get one of these. http://www.iskin.com/store/I2shop_evo2.tpl

 

[Trasher]

Yeah those are pretty cool, but I like the way the iPod looks without a case.

 

[Megafoo Chavez]

well me too, but i don't like scratches, and you can clip it on yo' belt

 

[Trasher]

Good point. Mine already has a few scratches, but I might still get one, thinking ebony or arctic, cause i like the white.

a Loan.

I got an iSkin Evo yesterday

Awesome case!

I also have an iTrip which also rocks

 

[Trasher]

Does the iTrip have a nice non-static connection?

Yes if it's within 10 inches of the stereo most times, it's no better than the kind radio shack sells as for as transmission signal strength goes.

I just got the vaja leather case and this is the best case money can buy.

That's the type I was looking to buy to replace the current one I have, only difference is the one I want has a loop in the back instead of the round stud in the back for carrying.

a little OT, but is there an easy way to hook up an ipod to a standard stereo (mine has A/V inputs in the back, so i can hook my TV up to it for example) w/o the need of a pricey accesory?

Yes, just a normal 1/8" male x dual stereo rca cords will work, although the sound quality from the output of the headphone jack of the iPod is pretty bad, but I believe there is an adapter that connects at the bottom to output at the correct ohms without the distortion.

This + Itrip kicks all kinds of ass.

That thing is too expensive

I can use my iPod efficiently just by putting it into the cup holder directly

Can somebody with an iSkin eVo or an iSkin eVo2 answer this question for me.

Can you still plug your iPod into the dock with the iSkin on it? It'd be a bitch to take it off every time I wanted to plug my iPod into my dock.

Also, how's the belt clip on the eVo skins? Will it clip onto a thick belt (like a weave belt) or only to thin ones? I've got a thick belt I'd like to use it with, but I guess I could compromise and buy a new belt.

I found mine for $15. The Ipod is much easier to adjust when you are driving (though not the safest thing to do when driving).

I looked for a few seconds on Froogle and found one for $12.

I don't have a dock

Get the dock and a cable that starts in a headphone jack and ends in red/white audio cables. Theres a big difference between hooking up via the dock and the headphone out if you're using an external amp.

I just got the 15 GB 3rd Gen (I think) I-Pod. Literally just an hour ago. I think I'm gonna buy a skin for it; is it really helpful?

 

[KingGondo]

The Belkin Battery Pack is really nice, although a bit bulky. It takes four AA's and lasts for about the same amount of time as the fully charged iPod Lithium Ion.

It saved my life while I was in England and constantly away from a power source (not to mention during the flight).

I have the Speck Skin Tight for my 4G 40GB iPod, I like it better than the iSkin Evo because you can use the dock while it's on.

How much?
