Enjoy!

I decided to try simplify and go for something new by trying a money clip.  I purchased the Dark Brown version on the money clip below and have liked it over my old wallet quite a bit because the money clip is more compact.

I do have to work a little bit to get some of the cards out, but as I really only use a couple of cards regularly, it isn’t that much of an issue.  Some day, I imagine, we’ll use our phones for credit transactions, identification, or perhaps our fingerprints, but until then, the good ol’ fashioned money clip works just great for me.

The Rustic Leather Money Clip can be purchased at Rustic Country Leather with free shipping (last time I checked).

The Sansa View Case kit contains an armband for running/jogging, a hard-shell protective case for travel, and a leather-like sleeve for every day use protection.

The fit is tight on the View, but it holds it well in the armband and the harder outer case is good for travel or for storing earbuds.  The view case allows for easy access to the navigation wheel and is a lightweight option for carrying the view.  The Sansa View Case is a good multi-case for the View.

A great device deserves a great protective yet stylish case. The iPod Touch Leather Case by LLG helps to enhance the look of the Apple iPod Touch.

Problem with Silicon iPod Cases – Too Soft

Silicon cases tend to pick up lots of dust and lint especially if you put your iPod in your pocket.

If you ever do try putting a silicon case covering your iPod Touch in your pocket, good luck getting it out. The cases are kind of tacky (not just in looks) they stick a little bit to everything.

Although they do provide a little bit of protection for the iPod there are better covers for iPod Touch out there.

Problem with Hard Shell iPod Cases – Too Hard

Hard-shelled cases tend to obscure the beauty of the Touch. I’ve tested some of the jumbo hard-shell, can’t-send-a-bullet-through-it types of cases, and although impressive that they’re so tough, they don’t impress in terms of function. They’re hard to use and hard to open. Good luck ever getting the iPod Touch out of the case.

The not-so-tough cases that are still hard shell are kinda-cool, but they really don’t protect the iPod if it gets dropped. Don’t ever drop your iPod, but if you do, the thin shell cases don’t provide much protection. You’d be better off with the silicon case in this…um…case.

Related to this on are cases that have a “protective” screen that covers the iPod are usually hard to remove and can leave a residue on the device. My iPod Touch is such a cool device, I don’t want to devalue it by placing some sticker over the front of it.

Leather iPod Cases = Just Right

The LLG iPod Case really does a great job of protecting the Apple iPod while keeping it classy. The leather case fits the iPod Touch 2nd and 3rd Generation. It will also very snugly fit the first generation iPod Touch.

There is room on the side for access to the volume controls. You can store small cards in the wallet slots. Very big cards may have trouble fitting, but average to smaller cards should fit just fine.

You don’t have to take the iPod Touch out of the case to charge it or to access the headphone jack. Those connections areas are left open at the bottom of the case. You can also access that top button on the iPod Touch that turns the screen off.

A small magnetic clip helps secure the case when the iPod is not in use.

Free Shipping on the Case

You can get free, 2-day shipping on the case if you’re an Amazon Prime member since LLGco.com is tied into the Amazon.com fulfillment system. Just be sure to select the option at checkout if you’re a Prime Member.

A great case combination for the Sansa Fuze.

Rising quickly in popularity, the Sansa Fuze is finding its way into homes across the world, but so far, there are not that many accessories for the mp3 player as many manufacturers focus on the Apple iPod.

Fortunately, a few good accessories are out there.

The Sansa Fuze Case kit contains an armband for running/jogging, a hard-shell protective case for travel, and a leather-like sleeve for every day use protection.

We tested the Fuze in the case. It fits quite snug but still works great. The “hard-shell” case helps to protect the player if you toss it in your bag when on the go.

The sleeve works with the armband, so you can take it off the armband and still use the protective sleeve and also cuts down on space and material used.

The armband fits the device well, and because the Fuze is small, the armband and the Fuze together don’t feel like they weigh all that much on your arm. A video iPod on the other hand (or arm as the case may be) is more bulky and heavy to go jogging with compared to the Fuze (just FYI, the Sansa Fuze has an FM tuner in it so you can listen to the radio while you’re out and about).

One of the best places to get the Sansa Fuze case is at LLGco because they frequently run sales on the item we’ve noticed.

If you order from there, the item ships from the Amazon.com network so if you’re an Amazon prime member, you get free, 2 day shipping.
