Neither my Grados, Beyers, nor the interconnects that I use to connect these cans to the ipod for use with a headphone amp work with this case. I hope the people from Speck are reading this. It seems either the hole needs to be a tad bigger, or the rattling problem needs to be solved. Of course, I don't mean to sound so harsh about it. I use it almost daily, and it's great as being a combo case/stand, which makes it very handy. :D Thanks for letting me know about the iVod though. I think I'll go with the 20gb version. :D Heh, I’m not the DIY type myself, but it is an annoying quirk, considering that the hole looks to be big enough.

If the problems are related to the size of the hole in the case, why not just widen the hole a little bit??? Get a drill bit that is larger than the hole and hand-turn it to widen the hole...but i am something of a DIY nut... I just tried my wife's older 10 Gig in both the 10 and 20 Gig iVod cases. Seems to fit just fine in the 20 gig (you might want to use a little stick-on felt if it feels to loose) and the darned thing is corrently stuck in the 10 gig iVod (she is gonna kill me...). In short, will fit the 20 gig iVod, or will turn the 10 Gig iVod into a permenant skin... Hop this was helpful...

I have this case as well, as well as an older 10gb model (same size as the 5gb)...and I can't keep the remote connected. I think it's related to the rattling problem you pointed out, which I have as well. Also, I cannot keep the connection between my Beyerydynamic dt990s and the ipod with this case. Same problem as the remote, it keeps cutting in and out. Otherwise, with smaller portable headphone cords, it works fine. However, I think they should have at least tested it with the iPod's own remote. I still keep the case around though. I can't use the Vaja iVod since they can't confirm if it will fit older 10gb models. I use the Waterfield case for going out, and the Speck case around the house, and as a stand. Still searching for that perfect iPod case.. Have you tried the case with the remote?
