So I recenty got a new iPhone 3g and now need to carry around my earbuds with the USB cord with me at all times. So right now my solution has been to use my old batty and dugout softcase:) So I have two questions.

1. What is the best soft headphones case that has enough space for earbuds, usb cable and maybe a future third cord? I would prefer a softcase but am bycurious over soft/hardcase. (The third cord option would be for an iPhone A/v cable but is totally optional I would like it as a future cord.)

2. What is the best earbuds with microphone, volume adjustment and play,pause,fast forward etc.?

"bycurious"? I think you meant "buy-curious".

Oh, and my solution? Zip-Loc baggy. Extra strength (I.E. the freezer variety). Keeps the lint out and everything. Yeah, it doesn't make the girls go, "ooh", but you know what? Not exactly something you need to worry about, unless you're Patrick Bateman -perfectionist.

but am bycurious

Oh so you play for the other team. Not that there's anything wrong with that

Samsonite suitcases.

The new ibuds or whatever meet #2. The play/pause/fast forward button might not work, but it's there.

GR Case should fit the cables well enough. Around $100, maybe more for shipping from Japan.
