This case is designed specificaly with the U2 iPod in mind, as can be assumed from the color scheme, this case is the U2 iPods soulmate. This is one of Marwares most durable cases, as its name suggest, the TrailVue is meant for the open trail, you simply have to feel how tought this case is for yourself. The TrailVue is made of tightly woven fabric and uses the " velcro " closure as seen on their MetroVue cases. The TrailVue allows total acess to all your iPods essentials when open and it comes with Marwares original, removable belt clip. This particular model you see above is designed for the U2 iPod and a regular color iPod just would not look right in this case, for that reason Marware also offers this case in different colors and for the iPod mini. The TrailVue for the U2 iPod costs $34.95, and can be ordered directly from http://Marware.com but seriously, should your U2 iPod live without its soulmate, would you ?
