Ipod Touch / Iphone

That is good. I never got around to getting one of those but I have amassed a pretty good collections of cases now.

This Defender is just too sticky. I think if I made gloves out of this rubber material I could climb up the side of the building like Spiderman. Any lint within 12 inches of the cases seems to get sucked into its tractor beam and stuck on the phone. When you put it in your pocket it comes out looking like a big furry phone. I need to carry the case/phone inside a Ziplock I think.

@Jeff... The screen protector OtterBox uses sucks. I figure you have an InvisibleShield or something for it, use that and take out the plastic. The one on my Storm would come out with a little prodding, but I haven't seen the iPhone 4 one yet, so like Nate I can't be sure how that one would work. This case isn't really pocketable, it's designed for the greatest deal of protection, and to be used with the holster/kept in a bag/purse/Dinny-Approved-Murse.

If you want to pocket, I'd look at the Commuter (coming soon). Another option that I've been reasonably happy with (on a smaller phone that was pocketed) was the Seidio Innocase. Not out just yet for the iPhone 4, but should be soon. seidioonline.com

I would have no qualms dropping a phone in an OtterBox Defender onto concrete from 5-10 feet.

Oh... look, Otterbox just released the Defender case for the HD2. Hmmm...

The innocase for the evo does not add much bulk and has a nice compromise between rubbery lint magnet and slick plastic accident waiting to happen. Don't think it will protect it from a fall from 6 ft onto concrete though.

Oh... I wouldn't drop an iPhone 4/Evo/most things in an Innocase from more than say, 3 ft. Maybe 18" onto concrete. But it is really thin, is one of the best feeling cases for thin phones, reasonably unobtrusive... I like it. If you want to pocket it and not drop it on concrete, good choice. I like dropping thigns on concrete, though.

From the free case program I've ordered the Belkin Micra. Not much seems to be known about this case, so I'll report impressions, and results vs. JH13 plug, when I have it. Hopefully I got in early enough on Friday to be among the early shipments.

I hadn't tried the DFO instructions, but probably will later today, thanks for the link.

While I don't personally like this particular case, Colors for iPhone 4 is out from SwitchEasy.

For those that missed out on Oyaide LOD group buy, I believe this one very similar to the Oyaide LOD.

Amazon.com: FiiO L3 Line Out Dock (LOD) Cable For iPod and iPhone: Electronics

At least according to FiiO, the cable is made by Oyaide while FiiO assembled the LOD.

EDIT - Oh, and it's black and not white.

[Dusty Chalk]

Black + misplaced my Oyaide == I'm getting one.

Also, they have a $5 version as well.

The $5 uses a different, thinner cable according to the spec.

Les bass

[Dusty Chalk]

I thought it might thin the bandwidth.

[The Monkey]

No, it's a known fact: thin cable chokes the bass.

[VPI]

Everyone knows the narrower the pathway the more bass pressure. You just get as thin as possible without blowing out the sides and you are golden.

[recstar24]

Ah yes, the bass has a nice taut quality without being too thick or over bloated.
