Just got an ipod classic 80gb

I at least need something to protect my screen as I plan to watch videos on it and don't want it to be all scratched up. Do this static covers that just cover the screen work good? Would you recommend a hard case? A neoprene sleeve? I want something rather thin but am most interested in protecting the screen....not horrible concerened about scratching the back or anything.

whoops


if all you are worried about is scratches there are these new types of screen covers that are just a little porous to prevent it from slipping out of your hand. Since it has an HD, I would buy one of the plastic shell cases in case it falls since death is certain if it does.

I guess I sort of tried to save my ass there and didn't offer any good advice..

An extra large condom?

I have a case of those, so that could work

A screen protector? Really I don't believe in "shielding" ipods as it's just preventing the inevitable.

Best Skins Ever or InvisibleShield (but BSE is cheaper).

iSkin makes a great case for my 5G iPod, so I can imagine the case for the Classic is equally as good.

I went with a skin from http://www.gelaskins.com/ as I didn't want to bulk it anymore. I have something from iSkin for my Nano, but I heard the Classic version was horrible so I avoided it.

the invisible shield is good, and comes with a lifetime warranty for exchanges so you get unlimited replacements. Plus it doesn't add barely any bulk at all to the ipod and makes it glossy looking

thanks everyone for the suggestions. I don't think I want to add much bulk to it. Ultimately I'd like 2 things. One very thin to protect the screen/case from scratches. And then maybe 1 large plastic/neoprene sleeve to give it a little more protection on long trips and such.
