Maybe you need to work on your finger muscles

I have wrestled with it for an hour or more at more than one sitting, and have only been able to get the device out once. very, very frustrating…

I also got the new rivit clip system with the case, and have found it to be much more reliable than the ultra clip that I had on a previous Vaja case. The only problem that I have with the new system so far is that you CANNOT remove the case from your belt with one hand. I have to do it with 2 hands, or I contort myself into a number of different and rather interesting positions…

It just takes some wrestling to remove it. It was the same for the 3g version that I had. Now it’s pretty easy to insert and remove.

Black is quite good. I ordered mine in all black, with the belt clip.

The belt clip, for the record, is very good. I’ve even found that the clip I have for my cell phone (also an ultra clip) works for the case. That way, I don’t have too many devices hanging from my belt.

I’ve yet to try and get the iPod out of the case, noticing how snugly it fit when I crammed it in there to begin with. I miss being able to use the docking stand, but it’s not that big a deal, since I can connect the cable through the case.

Have either of you been able to get your iPod in and out of the case without wanting to toss it across the room; and if so, HOW?!

Ditto! :0)
Unless I am at the dentist’s – then it is tightly gripped in my sweaty hand… :unsure:

I’m waiting on mine to arrive. I chose all white to match the iPod.

I didn’t request a belt clip as I wouldn’t be caught dead with one hanging from my jeans. I don’t wanna be Batgirl ;o)

So what’s wrong with being Batgirl? Batgirl kicks butt.

No really, though, I’m curious as to where other female gadgeteers keep their “wearable” gear when they have to keep it close. (I’m assuming we don’t all run around in Scott eVest clothes 24/7).

For instance, I listen to music on my Tungsten T2, but my jeans pockets are too tight to stick the PDA in, so I usually end up carrying it (as awkward as that gets).
