==WOW==.......2007-12-13
This is perhaps one of the only reviews Ive ever written. But i'm so impressed with these gaming earphones. The only word that comes to mind when i put these on is "WOW". I'm a FPS gamer and for me, as any serious gamer. Im looking for a non cheat edge in my online game play. For me and my clan we don't use use cheats or hacks. But since Ive had these I have to laugh sometimes. Because im sure when the people i "own" must wonder how and the heck did he know I was there. Actually I was thinking about changing my clan name to Batman because these are like literally using an echo location device to spot where my opponent is. Before I got these a week ago I was using the raser headset with the 3 speakers in the ears. Having talked to a friend who's more advanced in the audio arena. He mentioned the ear processes in stereo and not surround. So I began to think perhaps these 3 speaker phones where more of a marketing gimmick. But not having anything to compare it too. At the time I thought these raser phones where the best available. And perhaps they where but i did not get any detail or accuracy I was lookin for. Maybe that because they didn't exist at the time. But that has radically changed since the GX 400 arrived lat week. Let me tell you about my first wow experience in game play. There is a map on this multi-player online game that has alot of objects such as trees, wreckage, bushes to hide behind plus 26-32 people firing all kinds of various guns. I remember as I was running with my gun out of spawn, I happen to hear this sound of someone barely moving on the ground about 35feet away from me. Normally this was a spot I wouldn't think someone would camp. But as i ran past this spot not only did I hear this sniper hiding under this wreckage. But i was able to accurately discern where this "sneaky guy" was camping out precisely, as I was running full throttle. To be more exact in my own description I could tell he was at about 4 o'clock behind me. And as I turned around there was a .50 cal gun pointed at me ready to fire. Well my fast reaction time allowed me to "own" him before he got me. And in the meantime I was able to hear this above all the other mahem such as nades, gunfire, wind, and my own footsteps. To me this is exactly what I was looking for. I can go on and on about many other times with guys hiding in buildings etc. So for me my game strategy has actually changed and has become more fun now. When i come to a corner now I stop and listen because if someone is there i can sneak up and shoot them. Whereas before it was 50% gamble now its like 90% of the time im winning in these scenarios. Im sure with more practice ill get up to 98% since im still developing my new skill in the art of listening. One thing i found really valuable in the box is a CD called Marclo Polo. It is some software program much like an FPS game in the sense of buildings and places u can walk and run too but with no gun to fire. This program actually teaches and trains your ears on how to better locate sounds!! Talk about a much neglected aspect in gaming. As an example there is this one stage where you have to find this guy called sneaky guy. You are in the middle of this map and there is a loud constant sound of a motor or machinery of some sort to mask this sound. Well it tells you to listen for sneaky guy. And the sound is a very very slight sound of someone walking or crawling somewhere on this map. So as this level starts I turn 360 degrees and listen for sneaky guy. And when i get the general direction "sneaky guy" run towards him not knowing of course where he is just like marco polo. And sometimes its really hard, but when i get closer the sound gets louder and then I find sneaky guy. I completed my task which is timed. So for me I really felt this was a valuable tool to help me fine tune my skills. The one thing I would like to see them do, is make this the full version. As this only comes with the demo version. And actually expand on this concept even more in future realeases (fingers crossed). I must say when I saw the box arrive at my house from Amazon. I was very excited to see what these look like. I didn't know what to expect but when I saw the box it was very small. I was like mmmmmmmm thats all i get LOL. But I said to myself dont judge a book by its cover. Well let me tell you these things are compact. I guess I was used to the big phones w/ the big box concept. But that has totally changed now. I can actually eat and drink and move my head unencumbered as I play. Actually i can pull one phone out and take a phone call while playing online. Another thing that was interesting but impressive was that fact there is a tool that it comes with to change out the filters. As far as the sound these phones are beautifully bright and not muddy like my other phones. Its true if you want accuracy then you must have detail. And youll get that with these. I played some music with these phones and was so enveloped in the sound. I heard things I never heard before, actually the singers voice sounds wonderfully different. So even though i got these for gaming the music is awesome. I don't know how they compare to these $1000 dollar sennheisers in music. But for gaming these thing will actually give you such imagery. You cant but help get more into the game as if your there in this digital gaming matrix. I can remember when i stood on a ridge and the ocean sound and the wind actually whirled around my face and ears. I could almost feel it was surreal. Anyways I'm hesitating the put my clan name and game on here for obvious reasons ;) But ill say this if you ever play this online game and cant figure how in the heck this one player owned U. Well.... You ll know its me :)
Cheers

Really Good Value.......2007-09-16
I was rather suprised at the build quality of this case. The leather is quite nice and the magnetic latch is brilliant. I would highly recommend a screen protector in conjunction with using this case. The reason being, the ipod is quite snug in the case but it tends to rum the inside of the case if you remove or place the ipod in the case. This will then lead to scratches and smudges. Well worth the price, good buy.
Call Me A Party Pooper!.......2007-06-16
The product itself is sleek and good looking enough, durable and real leather.
The two stars are for one reason. The stitching on the inside may scratch the face
of your iPod. So if you dont mind this, then go ahead and give it a try. I myself do not
want this and it kind of defeats the purpose of having a cover. I am returning it ASAP!
Do yourself a favor and open the box before you leave the store. Run your fingers along
the inside and check for this with any leather iPod case.
Great product, minor flaw.......2007-05-23
Have had for nine months. This is the second one I have ordered, both came in a box labeled in different places as made for 30g and 60g. First one fit loosely, assumed it was 60g, returned for a second one which fit much better.
Pros:
1. great fit, ipod not in danger of slipping out.
2. good protection, only small areas of both sides near top exposed when closed. front flap is stiff, for protection of face.
3. has screen protector; no click-wheel protector, I simply left the plastic screen that comes on the iPod on mine, works for me.
Con:
1. deducted one star: the belt clip is very strong and low profile, but the leather is thin enough that by sliding it on and off belts or other items the leather under the clip erodes. Probably not a deal breaker as no other areas are wearing down, but they could have improved construction in this one area.
Would definitely buy again.
Better than most other 30G Video iPod cases I've seen..........2006-09-11
...and believe me, I've examined a few! The iPod is a sleek little device and I really think the case you choose to protect it in shouldn't detract from that.
Other cases I bought and tried added to the iPod's size and even though they were described as leather, they weren't. This case is different. Snugly fits the 30G iPod with a plastic window protecting the screen. The click-wheel is exposed for use once the lid of the case is opened, but is protected by the lined lid once closed. All openings are well placed for the headphone jack and the connector at the bottom. You have to open the case to get at the hold button though.
Good looking and functional. Me likes!
