Case cannot handle a drop [Posted on 2008-05-13]
This case looks and feels very good. But it is deceptive in that it feels sturdy. It is not - it *easily* pops open when dropped. I just found this out yesterday with my week-old iPod falling while I was biking, the top popped off and the face of my new iPod was terribly scraped up on the asphalt. I would have had more protection with a thin plastic film.
For all the thickness the case adds, it does not add any more protection than a plastic sheet.
Buyer beware!
Exactly what I was looking for. [Posted on 2008-05-26]
Highs -- This provides protection from scratches, smudges, and probably some weather protections (not waterproof). May even provide some shock protection as the plastic is thick. It is easy to get on and off if you want to remove the device. It covers almost the whole product, and still provides good usage of all controls.
Lows -- The weird color, I would've been happy with clear (it may exist, I just didn't find it). Some of the plugs I use in the headphone port have had to be trimmed to fit into the guide. Not a big deal, or a major modification, but it is a nit-pick. It did take a bit of time to get used to the little bit less sensitivity the track wheel has through the plastic shield.
Overall, for the price, it's a good value and a strong product.
Solid protective case, bad cover for clickwheel [Posted on 2008-06-11]
Very nice product, looks nice, and can take a beating. Only drawback is that the clickwheel cover prevents a lot of movements from being recognized by the iPod (volume changes, scrolling within a song, etc.) - I have contemplated taking the clickwheel cover off because of this problem. Otherwise, a good case.
Best Price for the Protection your iPod needs... [Posted on 2008-06-24]
Even though it says metal case, it is part metal(front) and part plastic(back). However, it's a sleek protection that will protect both your screen and key-pad to the fullest. At the same time, all the plug-ins are fully accessible, even with those accessories without taking the case off. I've used Sony iPod Speaker and Radio system with this case...I couldn't believe when the iPod with case just slide into small grove of that system......Cons: Not for Walking, Jogging, or Running, since case does not have any support for bands or clips. So I would not suggest for athletes or Gym-goers.
Oh, Back plastic cover comes with spare one...so I guess don't worry about breaking it, you at least got an extra one.
I would suggest buying it for it's sleek and smooth look with best protection I have ever seen for any iPod.
Belkin does it Right again [Posted on 2008-06-25]
I love Belkin products not only because they tend to look real good but functionally they are great products.
The Remix case for the iPod Classic is what it claims to be: A classy form-fitting hard case for your iPod! It really doesn't get simpler than that! Keeps your iPod safe from nicks, scratches, bumps AND fingerprints. Plus you still have access to all your switches, buttons & jacks. It even has a protective cover over the scroll wheel. How the scroll-wheel can still sense your fingers I have no idea but it works. Initially I couldn't get it to work but I tried lighter circular movements and got the hang of it.
Note: you actually get 1 & a half cases with this product because it consists of the front face plate & a back tray for the 80GB AND a back tray for the 160GB (it being slightly fatter).
I think Belkin is releasing more designs and colors so it will be great to see more of these.
One comment: Although I have no complaints about Amazon's price for this product, I wonder if if would become even cheaper if Belkin sold the 80GB tray separately from the 160GB tray? In any case, this is a great product for people who like form-fitting cases for their iPod.
