Most iPhone/iPod cases add bulk and actually introduce scratches when you put them on and take them off. They also seem to trap lint, dirt, etc. between the case and the iPod/iPhone, which can also cause scratching. And they cover up the beauty and ergonomics of the devices.
I'm not prone to dropping things and I like to use naked iPods, iPhones, etc. So I went the sleeve route for protection.
I've tried other sleeves and they were too bulky and caused scratches from being too tight. I also tried the Boa for a week. It was very slim but it was too tight and took forever to get my iPhone out of it.
The socks fit all my iPods and my iPhone. The fabric keeps scratches from items in your pockets or purse away and cleans the oils and dirt from my iPhone 3G. They barely add any bulk, and they are not too loose or too tight.
I initially bought a set for $10 from one of the other vendors on Amazon. They sent me some knock-offs called iPod Nano Tubes. They were not as soft as the real ones and were too small for the iPhone. I went to the Apple store and got the originals.
After wasting money on other cases, I feel $30 for 6 socks is OK. The reasons being I am happy with the socks and I will probably not need to buy any more cases ever again even if I upgrade my devices. Get more detail about
