Hey,

So I'm thinking of getting an iPod. Aside from general love it/hate it recommendations (and jeffwik, let me know how the repair goes), there are two accessories I'm interested in picking up.

1.) Earbuds/headphones -- I'm told the basic earbuds that come with the iPod are only so-so, but are there any recommendations for something a bit better. Better in this case means "more comfortable" over "you can hear the bassist fart".

2.) Sleeve -- So obviously, I'm going to put my shiny new toy in a protective sleeve, but I've seen one where the iPod hung upside down from a fob that clipped to your belt. This made it easy to get at the iPod when you needed to but otherwise it was out of the way. Anyone happen to have a brand-name for something like that?

later
Tom

BTW, I got the 80 gig classic, despite all the warnings from people that the disc drive models always die. I'm figuring though that by the time it dies on me the solid state models will have caught up to same capacity. And I'm trying real hard not to drop it.

If it dies, there's still a ridiculous resale value for iPods with dead drives. I sold my oldest dead iPod (I'm on my third now) for something like 60 bucks on eBay. Go figure.
