iPod Mono-Strap Backpack from ThinkGeek will hold your iPod safely, and features special buttons on a control panel right on the backpack that let you operate your iPod: you can pause, play, go to the next track, and even adjust the volume.

And of course, the rest of the backpack can be used for regular backpacking-type purposes. There are lots of pockets for carrying things around, too.
