1 God awful
I hope the reviewer who said that Contour Design took care of their little problem was telling the truth... because mine's completely stuck and won't come out at all.
If that wasn't bad enough, it scratched my player on the bottom while I slipped it in for the first time. This case also does not allow for some car kits and mini home players to connect to either, because of it's thickness.
Believe me, I've seen a lot of cases for the ipod mini, and unfortunately got this one for my b-day... the worst one I've had to deal with for sure.
Your choice, save your money or end up scathing your mini...
2 iSee mini case fits its name!
This case is awesome! It has a space in the back for a belt clip and a hole for the charger thing (whatever you call it). You can see through the case perfectly and it matches any color you have. The case also fits securely and will never fall off. It takes some time to get it off, but you just gotta know the secret (which I know). It gets kinda scratched after a while, but atleast the actual iPod mini isn't scratched, and that's a good thing. The click wheel is out to the open and that's a little dangerous, but if you had something over it, it wouldn't work. This case is a very necessary accessory for your iPod mini!
Things I love:
the tight fit
you can see throught it
it has space for belt clip
Things I detest:
NOTHING!!!
3 Fast and efficent!
Well first I have to say that I got this item in 24 hours! And it was UPS ground!
Anyway- I was pleasantly surprised because when other people said that it would fit with the belt clip I wasn't sure how that would work...but since the back of the case is detachable it is very convinent to take it off and attach the belt clip. And no area is left to be damaged! The wheel is open, but I am glad because I don't know if it would work as well if there was something on top of it.
My only concern is that the plastic will be easily scratchable because it seems like there are a couple of super-fine scratches already...but I'd rather that be scratched than my mini!!
4 Tight Fit
I would give this case 5 stars if it wouldn't have taken me an hour to get my ipod out. Too tight for my tastes. If you need to use any sort of docking station, forget it. You can't just snap this on and off very easy. Other than that, it's great. I was using it on a 6gm mini.
5 Excellent flush, simple design
I gave this case 5 stars because it matches the styling of the ipod mini perfectly, while providing all the protection that I was looking for. I would have believed that this was an apple product. It covers the ipod completely, except for the top surface and a ring around the charging slot. The screen protection is flush, no funny contour shape protector. The case slid on easliy, but snug around the bottom end, providing just the right amount of grip. Most will prefer this only for its clear design, which shows off the mini well.
6 Great case, excellent customer support
I bought one of these cases for my first generation iPod Mini, and then it would not come off. I tried everything but it was totally stuck. I took it to several local computer technicians and they were also unable to remove it. I thought about just breaking it off, but I did not want to damage the iPod's finish.
After several phone calls and emails with the company (Contour Design), I mailed the iPod and case to them so they could remove it. They discovered that my iPod was slightly larger than Apple's specifications, which is why it didn't work in the case, so it was not Contour Design's fault at all.
I was very impressed with the way that Contour Designs handled this unusual problem. I never had to wait to be connected, I always spoke with the same person, and he worked with me to solve the problem, instead of trying to pawn it off on someone else. If he had not offered me the option of letting them remove the case, I would have literally been stuck with the case and been unable to remove it from my iPod. Their customer service was exactly what a company ought to provide, but so often does not happen. In fact, they went beyond what they were technically obligated to do, and in doing so, they showed their commitment to customer satisfaction.
As it turned out, I had decided to return my first iPod because the new one with longer battery life came out right after I bought my first one. This made it necessary for me to get the case off the first one and to have it done quickly so I could return it within the 30 day refund period. Contour Design had the case off and returned the iPod (and a new case) using overnight express.
My new iSee case works perfectly with my new iPod and I am a very satisfied customer of Contour Design.
7 Fantastic, but ...
... the only thing I don't like about this is that there's no protection for the click wheel. Aside from that, it's a fantastic case. So many iPod and iPod mini cases completely cover up the player. After spending that much money on your mini, why hide it? The clear plastic gives the mini a look like many other Apple components. Yes, it does have a tendency to get scratched, but that does't matter so long as what's inside isn't scratched. I also like the lanyard hole already cut into the plastic; I prefer to have it dangling around my neck most of the time rather than on a belt clip.
It also fits *very* tightly, and getting it on and off can be a hassle (and if you're female, willing to break few nails in the process; my fingers still smart). This thing doesn't fit into a dock, for those of you who use them. Those who don't use a dock should have no problems with this pretty little case.
8 Serves purpose and protects my ipod
Looked into mini-ipod cases throughly and chose this one based on cost and function. The price is inexpensive, yet the product is sturdy and protects my mini-ipod well. There is no top cover to allow access and leave space for a remote, fm transmitter, etc. There is also no cover for the click wheel. The ipod is easily removable from this protective case and can be used with the ipod belt clip and armband. There are issues with some dock connectors because the opening on the bottom of this case is quite small and will probably only accomodate the apple docking cords. I simply used a file to create a bigger opening for a different docking cord I had to use.
This product serves its protects well and is inexpensive.
9 Disappointed
This cover is very stylish and is light. However, they said it would fit with most of the common ipod accessories, but when I tried to dock my mini into its dock, it would not fit. It is a huge hastle to keep taking the cover on and off. Also, the cover easily gets scratched when taking it off the ipod. Since the cover is clear plastic, you can see all the scratches, especially the scratches over the ipod screen. This gets very annoying. Overall, not a very good cover for protecting your ipod.
