Where are the cases specifically for the 16GB iPod touch 5th generation!?

The 16GB model of the iPod touch 5th generation was released on May 30, 2013, replacing the 4th generation iPod touch because of it being uncompatible with an upcoming version of iOS. (as known as; iOS 7) This "new" (not so new anymore) 16GB model is the exact same as the other 5th generation iPod touch's (now called the 32GB/64GB models) except 3 differences; which make finding a case for it impossible. It has no rear facing iSight camera, LED Flash, iPod touch loop, and the microphone has been repositioned to the top of the device.

Now everyone who owns an Apple product, or knows anything about Apple, knows good and well that it doesn't take 3 months for a new device to receive a compatible case from a case manufacturer. I'm tired of it! We all know that cases that are actually made to protect the iPod are going to be covering that microphone at the top, and, if you have the 16GB model, having big cutouts on the back of the case for a camera and loop that aren't there is going to become annoying.

I love the iPod and all of its features; considering that it's only $70 more than the overpriced nano and I get the App Store, 4" iPhone 5 Retina Display, a speaker, Front facing HD Camera, iOS and more, I'm happy with it and its price. But I hate that there is no cases for it. Any help?

iPod touch, iOS 6.1.3

Found one on best buy

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Belkin+-+Grip+Neon+Glo+Case+for+Apple%26%23174%3B+iP od%26%23174%3B+touch+5th+Generation+-+Pink/1331013.p?id=1219050712926&skuId=1331 013


by Belkin, so a place to start.


They're a lot more expensive, but Griffin has some of their 'survivor' cases with sealed ports, so you could cover up the ones you don't need.


If best buy isn't an option for you, at least there's a manufacturer to look for.
