Contour Design Showcase

The Showcase frames your iPod with rubber edges to give you a solid grip and protect your iPod from impact. Its clear front and back panels let you show off your iPod's shiny surfaces and use all the buttons and ports. This combination is enough to win over many iPod owners. But we also really like the Showcase's more practical features: You can get your iPod in and out of the case quickly, and the detachable belt clip doesn't leave an annoying protruding knob behind. Our only complaint is that the rubber case -- especially in the lighter colors -- picks up dirt easily.--Dan Frakes
