It's a hot topic at MacRumors Forums and has affected quite a few people. Most have been exchanging them; with some people making several exchanges. I bought a touch the other day and sure enough, it has two leaks along the edge. I will be returning it for another; and will keep exchanging until I get one that doesn't leak.

I got a Touch last week. No leaks that I can tell.
I'm bought mine in Asia, where I am for months.
There are loads of cheap cases here, in every imaginable style. Unless I want a name-brand one, I can find cases for iPhone and Touch for about 4 or 5 bucks USD. I just bought a better one for my iPhone today -- a smoke-colored rubbery one, with a woven-leather appearance -- it cost less than $5. Several people were in line because the sales guy was applying a screen protector for a customer. I left money and didn't wait for change, which would've amounted to 25 cents US.
