I Finally Got my First Real mp3 Player

I recently received an Ipod Nano 2nd generation as a gift from my girlfriend for Valentine's day. This is my first "official" mp3 player, and my first ever Apple product, and I'm enjoying it so far. Previously I used my old Dell Axim PDA device as an mp3 player, but it wasn't convenient enough for me to take it everywhere with me, and my small storage card limited my space to 256 megabytes. This is the blue version of the g2 nano, so it holds 4 gigabytes of music - plenty enough space for my entire music collection. The g2 nano doesn't work with my girlfriend's first generation FM transmitter in the car, but it does work with her "boombox" style household adapter, allowing me to unhinge my at-home music listening from my desktop. So far I am very happy with it's performance and the sleek design - I may decide to write a full review after I've had it for a bit longer. Right now I am searching for a good case + belt clip combination to buy for it - if anyone knows of a good one, please tell me. So far I've spent entirely too much time reading ipod forums and guides, and I still can't decide on a good case, or any other accessories for that matter. It turns out that the ipod accessory industry can cost you more money than the actual ipod - and I am still amazed at how impressively Apple cornered the mp3 player market, and how they continue to dominate. Now, I'm off to listen to my "Soul Mining" album again.
