Has Anyone Tried the SWIMMAN Ipod or the H20 Waterproof Case

I'm dying to use an ipod while I swim. Has anyone tried any of these devices? The H20 is a waterproof case with earphones.....just bought it but hope that wasn't a mistake..(got online..haven't received to try out yet!) LMK!!!!! THANKS!!!

    I bought the H2O Interval case about 6 weeks ago and it made an instant and huge difference to my workouts. I pretty much doubled my distances swam right away. I HIGHLY recommend it. Even if you have to go track down a shuffle to use with it. (The 2nd gen shuffles have been discontinued and the case too I think.) One warning though, be very careful with the clips on the back of the unit. I had one break when I tried to put a thicker headband or something through them. I took it back to Best Buy (just shy of a month old) and got it exchanged AND some money back. They went on clearance!!! Check your local BestBuy and maybe you can get one for $65 or less. (Down from $80.) There is a new model coming out for the new shuffle. The newer shuffle has received horrible reviews AND the newer case is more expensive. Looks bigger too. I like the Surge buds so much I am thinking about buying a pair for general/other workout use. I do occasionally have the buds pop out, but not much. YMMV, as I am not doing hard sprints etc. Lately I have been putting Trance electronic mixes in the shuffle and I can totally zone out if I get left alone in my lane. I'd like to have a bigger iPod with me in the pool, but it seems like the cord would always be an issue somewhere. I would love to hear some reviews of the larger Amphibix cases. -eric
