Perfect fit for iPod 20GB (4th generation monochrome)

My iPod 20GB (4th generation monochrome) has a silicone skin for protection, but I wanted a little bit more protection for working out at the gym and long walks/jogs. I looked at quite a few "sports" cases, but I was pretty disappointed at what I found. Many of the "sports" cases could only be worn on the arm and the quality/durability seemed questionable. Most felt and looked like they wouldn't last very long (especially if exposed to sweat) and they were more expensive than the one that I eventually purchased. The biggest problem that I found was that I would have to remove the silicone skin to use the "sports" cases.

The Case Logic MP3 player case was the first one that I looked at, but I dismissed it. After looking at all the other "sports" cases, I came back to Case Logic. In comparison to the others, it was a perfect fit for me and my iPod.

Here are all the benefits or the pluses that I found for Case Logic:

1) It is a perfect fit (like a glove) for my iPod model WITH the silicone skin on.
2) There are multiple ways to wear it with it's easily detachable (but secure) belts for wearing on your arm or around your waist. You can also securily hold it in your hand using the loop or slip the loop through your pant belt.
3) If you use the Case Logic belt, there's a couple of mesh pockets to carry your earbud headphones, coins, and keys.
4) The construction and material appears to be very durable. (A big selling point for me since I go to the gym at least four times a week so it gets a lot of use.)
5) Although you can't operate the iPod with the cover closed, if you have to unzip it to change the volume or change songs, it stays secure because the headphone jack is like a nail that keeps it in place.

If you've got a 4th generation iPod, I highly recommend this case.

Perfect case

I bought this case for my Gemini XS200. It is a very nice fit, with a cable outlet on top for the headphone cable. It is made out of good solid, waterproof material. I haven't actually used any of the add-on straps supplied with the case, because I haven't needed to. It is so small that it easily fits in your pocket, and there is also a hand strap attached to it that is good to use when jogging. The add-on straps are an arm band and another one that goes around your waist, in which you can also place keys and other items. For under $20, you can't beat this case.

Size correction

Just a heads up in case you try to buy this based on the stated dimensions, like I did, and end up with a case that is too small for the purpose you may have in mind. The actual inside dimensions are more like 4.3 inches high, 2.5 inches wide, and 1 inch deep.
