I have 7 or 8 Pelican Micro cases already and love them.  This case for my ipod touch is a nice addition, but it needs a little tweaking in the details.  First, the storage for the earphones is awkward.  Having to remove the ipod from the case to get at the earphones (they coil up beneath the unit around a central rubber "core") is not only awkward but also somewhat defeats the purpose of having it in a protective case.  It also doesn't hold onto the ipod well.  When closed, the ipod is held quite firmly, but when opened, the little rubber "fingers" do not grip it tightly enough to prevent it from falling out if tipped upside down.  The cord which plugs into the earphone jack to allow you to plug in your ear buds from the outside does in fact allow the use of the microphone on your earbuds so that is a nice feature.  All in all, a nice protective case, but I have to carry my earbuds externally to avoid the juggling act required to carry them "in case".  One more thing, be sure to apply one of those clear protective films to the outside of the "viewing panel" molded into the case or it will quickly become hazed with scratches.
