I just bought a 60gig ipod video.

I was thinking of getting this charger: http://www.supermediastore.com/apple-ipod-travel-charger.html


But I bet it can be found cheaper if you know where to look. Some people told me to use e-bay, but there's thousands of asians from korea and china selling cheapish poor quality chargers, and I'm afraid of getting a piece of junk that will kill my ipod.

I dont want to buy the original apple charger either, since it's a ripoff - too expecive, not any better than other chargers out there.

What do you use? Any suggestions? Link please?

Also did you get a silicone case? I'm having trouble finding a decent one, most of the avalable ones cost too much and are low quality.

You turn your PC off? Are you posting from 1996 or something?

check ebay, or you can find the same "cheap mady by asian product" that you refer to in the states at higher retail price.
