Use an iPod within its Apple-provided case

This may be a trivial hint, but it certainly made me happy. I am not pleased with most of the cases for the iPod, as they take away from the look of the iPod. I do, however, actually like the Apple-provided black case or pouch that comes with the current video iPod. However, I did not like having to take the iPod out to increase the volume or go to the next track.
Then I found out that the iPod touch pad/wheel actually works right through the Apple case. I can increase the volume and, of course, depressing the skip-forward, etc. buttons work. I would have expected the buttons to work, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the touch/track pad also work. So now my iPod stays in the Apple case, and I can control it without getting my greasy fingerprints all over it.
