Nice appearance, one major design flaw [Posted on 2007-10-04] I got this case for my new black 160 GB IPod "Classic".
The good:
The case looks nice and has nice texture. It is very easy to put on the IPod. It has options of being used with or without:
a) a hand strap
b) a belt clip
c) a shoulder band (for jogging, I guess)
It also has an additional accessory - plastic screen protector that is easily glued to the IPod's screen and perfectly matches the size.
The bad:
This case covers the clickwheel with a thin layer of silicon with standard icons drawn on it. The idea, of course, is to protect the clickwheel. In fact, this makes using of the clickwheel VERY hard, next to impossible. I had overcome this problem by simply cutting off the wheel-protecting piece of case. It was hard to do very neat, but at least now I can use the IPod.
The bottm line is: buy it only if you are ready to take scissors and cut a round hole for the clickwheel.
Good enough [Posted on 2007-10-23] I received the case but it came without the advertised armband, no big deal, but I would like to receive what I paid for.
The fit is great with an 80Gb classic, it comes with a screen protector that I did not use because I already had one installed. My biggest concern was the responsiveness of the click wheel with the case on, well, it works, I can navigate the menus and control the volume. You have to make more pressure than before but it works.
In my sample, there are tiny rests of silicone in the borders of the screen, they do not interfere with the viewing but they are there. The case came with a very unattractive lanyard that I am not going to use.
In all, it protects the ipod, making it easier to hold (I wasn't using it before getting the case, it slips too easily) and giving some protection against falls. The look (Black version) is not that great but for the price it is a good product.
no screen protector [Posted on 2008-02-18] got the product on time. its just as described except i dint get the screen protector but still good for the price.
does the job [Posted on 2008-03-02] Overall, i like the case... it fits my 160gb ipod. three little things i don't like: i wish the back of the case were just solid silicone... instead it has two big slits and one hole on the back so you can attach the belt clip. i never use that so i'd rather just protect the back of my ipod.
also, as other reviewers noted, the screen protector does easily attact dust before you put it on the screen. mine was really bad the first 2 times i put it on so i wahsed it off with water and that seemed to get rid of most of the dust. there is still a little dust under it now but the air bubbles only show up on the corners of the screen. overall, it's not that bothersome anymore now that i got most of the dust off the part that sticks to the screen. no residue and can re-stick if need be.
i didn't use any of the other stuff that came with it, like the lanyard (it would maybe be ok if i planned to put my huge ipod around my neck), and the belt clip thing that's supposed to go on the back of the ipod.
one more thing, i ended up cutting off the part of the case that went over the touch pad. the touch pad still worked with it on, but sometimes it wasn't as sensitive as i wanted. as a result, it looks a little more ghetto since i just used scissors. not that noticeable though.
overall a fine product that will protect my ipod with a few little annoyances.
does what it does. [Posted on 2008-06-21] Not designed for the "fashionista" esp. the green color, man the cover is not that CUTE. BUT... it does fit my iPod well, and screen protector is AWESOME. and I dont have to worry about getting my iPod dirty. I'm not prone to drop things so this product will do for me, but if you are a klutz then you might want to get something a lil more heavy duty like a metal case or something like that.
