Good but flawed [Posted on 2008-01-03]
I've owned 5 Ipods and this is my third ISkin case. I'm a big fan of this brand and usually find that they do an excellent job protecting my Ipod. The belt clip function is also a neccessity for me since I wear my Ipod to the gym.
This particular case has a few flaws that I never experienced with other ISkin cases. Primarily, the new 80 GB Ipod classic does not have a very sensitive trackwheel, so the rubber covering it is a big pain. This makes the trackwheel pretty unreliable... Sometimes it will work with it on, sometimes not. Since it's a rubber case, I just cut this part of the case off. If you're not willing to do that, then be forewarned you may have some trackwheel issues.
Secondly, the plastic snap cover does not fit well over the rubber sleeve. Once it's on, it's quite snug, but getting it on is a process. The fact that it's so difficult to get the plastic snap cover on is a problem if you need to frequently take your Ipod out of the case to put it in any other audio accessories you may have for it (speakers, clock radio, etc.).
The positive is that the case is very protective and the Ipod fits snugly in it. I would feel safe bringing my Ipod to the beach or other places that could be damaging to the Ipod due to the secureness of the case. The plastic flaps that go over the ports are great as well.
Great Protection, But Some Flaws [Posted on 2008-01-15]
The iSkin protects the iPod very well. The only flaws I found were these:
#1 - The wheel works about 50% of the time and mostly on the left side. Its very frustrating trying to turn down the volume and the wheel doesn't move.
#2 - If your looking for that kind of Red, your not going to get it. The iSkin has a hint of Red but not like the picture shown. It looks black unless you look at it closely to even see the hint of red.
Other than that. I think it's good.
Protects Ipod, hinders function [Posted on 2008-03-07]
Most of this items product descriptions lie. The screen is not at all scratch resistant. In fact the iPod screen is more scratch resistant itself. This might not seem like that big of a deal, but chances are if you have a classic, you bought it for it's space, and probably have videos or movies that you watch. If you're lucky enough to get a screen that hasn't had paint from the body flecked on it during the manufacturing process, you still have to deal with the easily scratched screen. If you use the plastic clip insert, you have to be very precise about placement of the silicone skin before you force the plastic part on ( a tricky maneuver at first, but you get the hang of it). Dust is guaranteed to get trapped between the cover and the iPod screen, also a pain when it comes to watching video. Look at what Belkin has, or look at different iPod models.
Also, the seller I purchased this from (Appleware) was extremely unhelpful, and continues to be.
Looks Great, works decent [Posted on 2008-03-20]
I just recently received my eVo4 crimson (actually more of a maroon or purple color) iPod cover for my iPod classic. I love the look of it, and my iPod is very secure. I had a jelly cover before, and am very happy that this case covers the screen, as well. 80% of the time, the touch-pad works immediately on contact through the plastic layer, and other times it takes a little tampering for it to work. I am not sure if this is due to the new iPod or the plastic.
Overall, I am content because my primary goal was to find something to adequately protect my iPod from scratching and too much wear-and-tear.
Very Good Product [Posted on 2008-05-11]
I got this as part of a birthday present for my son. While it took my handy wife's special touch to maneuver this thing on, it now looks great and offers the kind of protection that my son needs. Functional plus looks = happy consumer. Nice product.
