neovo: Incase you hadn't noticed already (catch the pun? bahahah), the cover is now available for order on Apple's online Canadian store.
Hey Neove, did you buy the case from the Canadian Apple Store? I, like yourself am interested in buying this case, but I can't find it in Canada, and Incase does not ship to Canada via their website. It is up on the Canadian Apple Store, but when I click on the link it states:
"The item you have selected is currently not available from the Apple Store."
Have you received your case yet, if so, please provide a review and pics if you can.
I bought it and tried it for approximately a week but I couldn't cover the touch up, it's too good-looking so I invested in some (rip-off) transparent stickers, seem to be doing the job at the moment although they can offer some resistance when motioning to zoom.
At first, I was sorta in the camp that thinks its an ipod, it doesn't need a case. But then I figured, why not get one and try it? If I don't like it, I can always take it off. So I got one of these..put it on, it does make it bit thicker, but got used to that. Doesn't really collect dust, but I've just been sticking it in my bag- not in my pocket for now.
Found out the true value in a case a couple days ago. Right now, I have my laptop on the floor, so my ipod sits on the ground, or on the laptop keyboard when its charging. And I don't know what happened, but my bookshelf decided to fall over. Its on top of a small dresser, and crammed to the max, so it was a pretty significant fall. And all of this landed on top of my computer and ipod. So I started shoving books aside- found the computer screen ok, keyboard was a disaster though. And then digging through, I found the ipod, yanked off the case to make sure it hadn't dented. Absolutely perfect. No scratches, dents, scuffs, anything. So this case won't be coming off anytime soon- aside from cleaning it

I've seen these in the local Apple Store, I might pick one up for the sake of protecting the backplate of my Touch.
Just for anyone complaining about the fact it offers no protection for the screen itself, the Touch's screen is, unlike other iPods, made of glass and is very, very hard to scratch (you'd literally have to scrape along it with a needle to do any damage, from experience I can say the screen doesn't scratch from everyday use like moving around in your pocket).

Actually, there's a YouTube video of someone taking keys, razor blades and needles to the surface of the iPod touch and it leaves no marks.
Haha, really? My friend that also has an iPod Touch wanted to get dust out from between their screen and the aluminum and decided to use a needle, slipped, and now there's a beautiful scratch across the corner. Bad luck, I guess
I have the turquoise Incase (and just ordered a pink that was out of stock or not yet available before). So far I haven't bothered with a film over the screen but I do keep the thing in a cloth pouch in my purse.
I remove the case in a fairly warm room and then wash it in quite warm water and mild detergent when I start to see dust in or near the incurve of the edges around the screen.
Then I rinse it a lot and then let it dry naturally, open side down on a towel for long enough so there's no moisture left in the curved edges. Then put it back on in a warm room. It hasn't seemed to stretch out or lose proper shape.
I kept saying "warm room" up there because my place is quite chilly in some rooms during winter and I had a feeling I'd insult the Incase material by struggling to remove it when it felt somehow less flexible at a lower temperature. So I always take it out to the kitchen first and let it sit on the table for awhile because the woodstove keeps that room nice and warm. I don't know if the temperature really matters, but anyway it seems to be retaining original shape so far.
WOW that is a quality case. And it really looks like it does excellent coverage. I hope you guys are happy with it...I know I would be.
I am planning on stopping by the Apple Store to buy this case today. My sister bought 3 different ones for her iPhone and she loves them! Great protection and just pop an anti-glare/scratch resistant cover on the front and you'll be set. I went to Best Buy earlier and they failed at not carrying them in stock, now I have to drive 20 minutes out just to hopefully pick one up. Haha.
Hey, if you could, could you post up some pictures of it (preferably at different angles)? Also after a bit of use, it'd be awesome if you told me if the case is a dust/lint magnet.
I've been using this case since October and I haven't had any problems with dust or lint.
Incase Plus Glass Protector
Just got my 32g i pod touch & bought incase in cyan (i agree that it's a little bit too bright-the balck ones really nice)...but i noticed that some of you have this in combination with a glass protector...which protector will you guys recommend?...your thoughts?? thanks.

Ok I ended up buying the Black Incase Protective Cover and the Anti-glare Film set. I'll post pictures later once I have them on. Not bad for maximum protection.
I picked up a black version yesterday when my resolve cracked and I caved into my desire for the new 32 GB iTouch.
It's a fine case, seems to protect the sides and back well. The sleep button still works fine. The jack for my Shure E3c earphones barely fits due to the close fit, but I figure if it fits just about any will. I'm going to pick up a face shield for the iPod eventually, but I'm in no hurry.
