Do Apple still make this?

The pouches you used to get with your iPod, it was like a dark grey one, just a simple bag/pouch, thin material.

I'd like to buy one.

Any idea?

They made pouches _before_ the 5G iPod? I've bought a 2G and a 4G so far, and they never had pouches. The 5G iPod does come with one, but you can't buy them separately (and older iPods wouldn't fit in, anyway)...

i know the bag you're talking about - i still have mine that came with my ipod photo. its not really a pouch per se - more of draw-string bag.

apple never sold them as a stand-alone product - i used mine all the time until i bought some ipod socks in a moment of frivolity - and i never looked back.

the socks work just as well as the bag - a thin protective layer so you can still keep your ipod in your pocket and 'feel' for the buttons.

Hey, I forgot about that! I've been using the belt clip holster that my photo came with and completely forgot about that bag... it might be a little more protective than the belt clip holster, though, as that thing seems to scratch it up pretty good (it's an iPod, though, not a work of art -- it's meant to be used and meant to get scratched up!).

It came with my iPod Photo 40GB, before they dropped the price (and many accessories).

So they're good? I may have to buy some.

Apple replaced my iPod when I sent it off for repair, so I took no chances and brought an iSkin case.

Don't buy one. The screen protector scratches the screen...

If you don't want it you can always send it my way.

Hm. I'm not sure my 40 GB 4G iPod (non-photo, btw.) had this. But then, I wouldn't use it, anyway. I don't mind it getting a couple of scratches over time.
