I've been looking to get a metal, neoprene lined, case for my new 16GB iPod Touch(Father's Day gift:D) and although I've found many online, I was wondering if there are any suggestions/reviews for these types of cases. Any input is well appreciated. Thanks.

That maybe overkill. The iPhone/iPodTouch seem to be pretty tough little buggers. They don't have a disc drive like the large capacity iPod Classics do. The "weak link" may be the screen because it is glass, but I have have great results with the thick neoprene "phone condom" and the stick on screen protector.
 
yes, they are flash based. they can take falls. the screens are very tough but youll still want to get a screen protector. search for the switcheasy rebel tough or otterbox defender. i have the switcheasy and love it, very tough and extremely thin and comes with screen protectors but the otterbox is a bit better. it has a built in screen protector and is water resistant n stuff.
 
as far as protection, i would think the rubber or plastic ones would be better for shock transfer, albeit thicker and bulkier.
 
Otterbox is good, but kinda ugly. I've had great luck with agent18 cases. My 1st gen iphone went through a bunch of falls and scrapes, including one were I jumped out of my truck and the phone went scraping screen down on the concrete for about 10-15 feet. Nothing happened to the screen because the case extends a little further than the screen. Whatever case you choose, make sure you get a screen protector with it.
 
I agree that, to some people, a metal case may seem like overkill, but as they say on the Wilderness Tactical Products website....."Overkill never fails". :D I agree that the silicone and/or rubber cases would provide somewhat of a cushion on impact, but the aluminum case has neoprene lining to help in exactly that type of situation.

I still haven't made up my mind yet, so I appreciate the replies and the link. Thanks
 
Rhino Skin makes metal cases for iPod. I have used their Palm cases, and they are excellent.

I wish they still made titanium cases!!!
