Sturdy swivel clip , Long-lasting wear, Accessible and functional,
1 hate it!
I was excited to find this case at Target (none of the other stores seemed to have ANYTHING), and I kinda liked it at first, but it's really more trouble than it's worth.<br />
1. It's a pain to get my iPod in and out of it<br />
2. The click wheel does work with the iPod in the case, but just barely<br />
3. It left black marks on my earphones too!<br />
4. It's just easier to carry my iPod in my back pocket<br />
I'm thinking of buying the clip case, it looks a lot better.
2 stupid case
i hate this case! i made a better case than this and had more luck! first of all, there is no hole for the click wheel! even though u can still use the click wheel, its easier to use it when its out of the case. Like most cases, it colected a lot of dust, but that is the least of my worries. also, the ipod is impossible to get out of the case without (A) scratching the Ipod and (B) permanately bending the case so it doesnt fit right. Keep looking for that special case, its out there somewhere. I hope.
3 Don't buy this item!
I bought mine the day after I bought my iPod because a friend had told me the shiny little guys scratch easily. All seemed good; I liked the neoprene non-slip surface for working out. Operating the controls seemed clumsy at first but I got used to it. It was worth the hassle to be "protecting" my investment. Today I noticed that a hair had slipped inside the plastic cover, so I took the iPod out for the first time in 4 months to clean it. I found that the screen is completely scratched with fine wear marks from the plastic rubbing against it. (I had noticed the screen getting harder to read, but figured the plastic had gotten dirty.) The back of the unit is also completely scratched. I may as well have been throwing it in my backpack unprotected!
4 There's got to be a better case!
This case does not protect from scratches! My screen is somehow scratched up and I always have it in this case. Also the bottom opening isn't big enough for the monster digital tuner/charger.
5 Better than the Provided Carrier, Like a WetSuit!
This case is great. I use my iPod in the car and at work, and I like to be able to rotate through songs quickly and easily. The case that comes with the iPod is hard and opaque, so you can't push the buttons or turn the wheel.
This case has one transparent plastic side and a cute belt clip mounted on neoprene (think wetsuit material) on the other. The drawstring at the top seals the case, protecting it from most damage.
This case has served me well for the better part of a year, and has kept food and drink out of the buttons! The only concern I have is that sometimes moisture gathers between the face of the iPod and the clear plastic. If I take the iPod out and use a cloth to soak up the water, it is good for another few months.
6 so far so good
I just got my ipod case, but so far i love it. not only does it protect from scratches but the plastic covering on the front still allows me to easily use the controls. i cant wait to take it running with me, and so far, my ipod is not turning black, like i read in one of the reviews.
7 Scratch-o-rama
Look, contrary to the above, this case isnt the greatest. When i first took it out of the package, it a had a huge gash on the inside of the "vinyl" cover. Then, after a few days, the top drawstring material had turned the base of the plug for the headphones that comes with the iPod black. IT TURNED IT BLACK!! the cloth had rubbed off black dye onto the plug! And then, after a week or two, the "vinyl" (your lucky if its low-quality plastic) began sticking to the front of the ipod, leaving ugly little air bubbles. Also, if you keep it in your pocket, lint gets in easily and sticks to the plastic. And not to mention insertion! It took a few minutes to get it in, and after 5 minutes, the iPod was crooked! i had to take it out and put it back in to fix it. The reasons I gave it 1 star was because it DOES protect the iPod's steel backing from being scratched and 0 stars wasnt an option.
8 Safety first
I keep my 15 Gb iPod attached to the Belkin TuneDok car cupholder adapter 90 percent of the time. I found myself needing an easy-to-work-with carry case. I got this case a few weeks ago and love it. Take the iPod out of the car, slip it into the secure little sack, and it's ready to go to the gym, attached to a belt, etc. Soft inside doesn't scratch the iPod's finish, fits securely inside, and controls are easily accessible through the vinyl cover. Easy to get in and out of the case too, which was most important to me. I highly recommend it.
