I know you had broken your ipod earlier, howd that go?

FYI, the absolute best thing i had found was to buy cheap parts on ebay.

Then i just used a do it yourself guide to iPod Repair i had bought.

Hopes it helps

I have a 3rd Gen Ipod (with the dock) on a PC in an iSkin.

Because the USB/Firewire plugs into the base of the dock, I simply pull out that plug and
plug it into the bottom of the iPod thru the slot in the iSkin.

Not sure if the new Gen iPod docks are one piece or two piece like mine though…..

Highly recommend the iSkin, the only problem I found was that you get a build up of dirt around the edges of the buttons. My early (gen 3) iSkin model doesn’t have this, but Tony’s has the bottom 10% of the whole rubber case flips around on itself to insert the Pod into the dock. It’s a good feature. I updated my Pod protection to iPod Armour (Oz spelling) for use when I’m walking, on the bike, or in the car, then when I get home, remove it from the armour for easy insertion into the dock. I haven’t had to test it, but I think it’s fairly safe in there. I think it looks cool too.

No. You’re the second person to tell me that, but I can only assume this is a later version of the iSkin. The only opening (flap) at the bottom is the size of the plug – you can’t get anything bigger through that hole. The iPod itself will only come out through the hole for the screen.

You don’t have to remove it from the case completely. I have a black iSkin and pull just the bottom of the iPod out of the case, bending the rest of it back up, to connect my iPod to my dock. It works like a charm and the iSkin hasn’t been any the worse for wear.

Of course, you still have to remove the iPod to clean the case. Dammit! =]

Hope this helps,
