MARWARE, INC. is now shipping a new protective case for iPod mini users. The SportSuit Basic for iPod mini is a neoprene sleeve designed to protect the iPod from scratches and damage from impacts. The sleeve features a bottom grommet for plug access and an interchangeable clip system. According to MARWARE:

Marware™, a major manufacturer of Apple iPod accessories and makers of the popular Sportsuit™ Convertible™, is pleased to announce one of the latest additions to the Sportsuit™ line: the Sportsuit Basic, the all-new Basic specifically designed for the iPod Mini. This case has been completely reengineered to augment the smaller, sleeker nature of the iPod Mini while providing the quality of protection one would expect from a Marware case.

Constructed of the same high-tech, rugged and light weight neoprene of its predecessors, the new SportSuit Basic offers sleek, unequalled protection for your new iPod mini. With a snug, secure fit, this neoprene case allows easy access to the wheel and controls via a cutout in the clear plastic screen used to view your iPod Mini display. The Sportsuit Basic also offers a plush lined interior to help avoid the scratches or ‘dings’ that can mar the colorful finish of the new iPod Minis. A featured bottom grommet allows for easy access cable syncing right in the case.

You can find more information about the SportSuit Basic at the MARWARE, INC. Web site. The SportSuit Basic for iPod mini is available for US$24.95.
