I am looking for a good 2nd Gen ipod touch case to use while running. Things that are important to me:

-protection if dropped
-relatively waterproof from sweat
-access to volume buttons
-easy to navigate while on my arm


I am wary to buy one because I bought one (DLO flip non running) at best buy that was clearly labeled "2nd Generation" but it was EXACTLY the same as for my 1st Gen touch, ie volume buttons are covered up and inaccessible. (I returned it after I opened it in the car, 3 minutes after I bought it).

Any suggestions? Thank you!
 
yea i really need one too but im worried that i might get the wrong one off the internet but i need some feed backs to make sure its good.
 
Otterbox

Hey mattwolfmatt-

I'm using the Defender Otterbox (http://www.otterbox.com/ipod-touch/)
It protects mine pretty well, but the Armor is supposed to be waterproof for the most part and looks like it offers more protection.

I can access the volume buttons on the side, but they do take a little more effort than I'd like.

Hope that helps.
