But, does anyone have a recommended e-tailers?

Also, any recommendation for the following items for an IPod video (30gb):

- headphones, was thinking Shure E3s

- Skin / case

- Speaker docking stationing thing-a-me-jig

Thanks

e3c's are good but my own view is that for the extra money you will hardly notice the different with compressed music such as music on an ipod. E2c's are better value but some people find that they dont get on with the shape of them. The Etymotic E6i is slightly better IMO if you are wanting to spend that kind of money but much better sound can be a lot cheaper like Sennheiser MX 500 for less than £20

Skin/case - go for a hard case, the silicone skins are a tad naff and make what is an art form into a blob of rubber. A clear hard case is the best solution for protection as well as keeping its looks.

Speaker - Logitech MM50 - the only ones worth looking at - at £89.95 they cannot be beaten.

I hope that helps - I run an ipod accessory website (one of the top 5 in the UK) but cant mention on here so as to not offend the moderators etc. (all I can say is that we are not ipodworld and can get essential ipod accessories

)

It's not an original Apple one, but who cares as long as it works.

Haven't tried it yet since my iPod's at home.
