I don't know why people are talking about them scratching, not had any probs with that but then I do have a classic which is mostly metal.
I think they're great,a nice simple way to protect your ipod & it means you don't get a nice piece of apple design and then encase it in a bulky anorak case. Plus you get six, so I've given a few away too. If I'm sitting at a table or syncing or something I tend to use the sock as a sort of 'mattress' to put the ipod on to protect the back. It kind of cleans the ipod a bit too. I really like them, they're a nice simple solution, I have a similar thing for my ds.
One thing though... remember not to stick your ipod in your pocket upside down! once the sock has stretched a bit the ipod can work its way out if its upside down.
Apple ipod socks are great for every ipod/phone you own! October 21, 2007

I bought a pack of these, wondering what I would do with the spares, but they are now all being used! They're a great, simple item! They are simply a ribbed, knitted sock that an ipod nano (1st & 2nd generation) easily slips into (it fits nicely but can also slip out if you hold it upside down), not taking up any extra space but saving your ipod from scratches in your pocket or bag. Much less cumbersum than a leather case I have. They also stretch to fit larger ipods. But then I realised my mobile phone was getting scratched, and even found that my new digital camera (which is a normal-sized compact camera) fits nicely! Which is great because it is much smaller to carry in an ipod sock than in the big case I bought with it!
If you have a few electical gadgets I'd recommend using these on everything! The colours may be a bit girly though, but they at least have the apple logo on a little tag on the side, so don't look too geeky!
These would be great for kids too (for phones or ipods) as they refuse to look uncool or have anything too sensible! These are also just thick enough that they'd soften the blow slightly if the item was dropped on the floor!
Good, but not on its own! January 23, 2007

i was actually incredibly fortunate and FOUND my ipod sock on the ground in a car park... when i got it home i put it through the wash, dried it out and slipped my nice new ipod nano into it nice and snug...
now, when i got my ipod i was very cautious about using it without protective casing so i bought one of the triple-pack 'iSkin' sets off amazon. first of all i found the iSkin fantastic! compared to a lot of the other bulky cases and protective covers i looked at before buying i was so pleased with the product because it comes with both a silicon/rubbery cover AND a hard plastic cover, both of which fit tightly onto the ipod itself. infact with the iSkin on, the difference in size isn't all that great and obviously the screen is protected as is the surface of the ipod.
now that i can put my already protected ipod INTO my ipod-sock i've found it wonderful for basically just adding another layer of protection. it helps protect against dust, scratches and just adds more padding to my ipod.
i definately feel that the sock itself isn't sufficient and i doubt i'd have initially gone out and bought a sock for the high prices that i've seen them... but in a sale or on a good offer i'd definately recommend both the iSkin triple-pack set AND the iSock as a combination to provide the best care for your ipod without ruining the modern quality of its unique size and weight.
hope this helps!

Hey,
I admit, when i first saw these, I though yeah, they're cool, but come on....£20? After having my eye on them for a while i gto them for my birthday and can i just say, i'm glad i did.
Not oly are they very exciting and vibrant colours, they look great and are the only cover i know of which you can put your headphones in too.
As for the people who say they are not protectine, and do not have a window in which to ude the click wheel....these are not a protective case! If thsts what your looking for then don't buy! These are a super cool fashion statement and if thats what your after, as i was, i strongly reccomend them.
Also to the people who say make your own, these have a cool label on the top with 'ipod' and one side and the apple logo on the other in a mathcing colour to the sock, and this, for me, just toppes off the whole product.
Overall yeah, they are expensive. But with price you get quality and these are the height of cool in ipod accesories. For goodness sake, splash out!
