do u mean the black belt case you get with the 3g ipod? In that case (sorry), it will fit. The 4g is a bit more slack due to the lesser depth but im using it with my 4th G.

All iPods (not the mini, of course) have the same bag with it, so it should fit. If you have any doubt compare the part numbers. I wouldn't be too surprised if there is only one option that fits all.

Just a quick note on the poster two above this one...the new 4th generation iPOD does NOT come with a case, nor a remote like the 3rd generation did.

Hi
Yes (if you are speaking of a 20GB (4G)), but be a little more careful than usual as it will wobble because the new 20GB iPod is 1mm thinner than the 3Gs. The 40GB (4G) may even be a little too big for the 3G dock.
sebimeyer If you are speaking of the black pouch that came with the 3Gs...There is no pouch, case, or remote that come standard with either of the current 4G iPods.

I believe there is already a leather case for 4G 20GB iPod. Check the Apple store. I saw one there.

There is a leather case in the apple store for both the 20 Gb and the 40 GB 4th generation - they are the slip sleeve cases that used to come with the iPOD in the 3rd generation.
I think probably this was a good money saver - I would rather save the extra 100 dollars from the price drop, minus the case, and buy the case I want when it becomes available down the road (or in my case, use the Timbuk2 case I already have)...
