Great Case! Great Solution! [Posted on 2008-04-10]
Definitely a good solution to protect your iPod Touch without hiding its good looks.
The case snaps tightly together and is well made. My one criticism is that I was hoping for a perfectly clear case. The back cover is a bit milky-colored rather than perfectly clear, but still shows off the iPod. I suspect that a perfectly clear back would show scratches too easily.
Having installed other screen protectors for other products, I had no problems installing the screen cover as some reviewers have noted. Be sure you read the stickers on each side of the screen protector. After you peel of the proper side, slowly and carefully line up the screen protector and smooth out the bubbles as you go along. You can lift the screen protector to realign it or to remove bubbles. There is no adhesive, so it can be reapplied as needed.
Overall, you will need to use the included cloth to shine the screen and case completely free of dirt, oil, and fingerprints prior to installation. My iPod is now protected and looks great! Highly recommended.

Everything about this is easy to use, including getting the protective shield on the screen. Simple design protects the iPod without any obstructions. It's well worth the low price, and the packaging it comes in doesn't require mandhandling a pair of scissors, either.
Beautiful and Functional [Posted on 2008-04-16]
After much deliberation, I listened to the reviews and ordered this case for my new iPod Touch. There is not a shred of disappointment: it came quickly from Amazon and included a chamois and an easy-to-install screen protector. The protector was not only simple to apply, but effortless to remove and reapply! There is not an adhesive on the protector; it attaches mainly via static electricity. I was pleasantly surprised.
The look and fit of this case is top-notch. I've seen the Griffin brand clear cases for the rest of the iPod family and liked what I saw. The Touch is my PDA and therefore pocket-kept, so the slim design is a definite must for me.
I would highly recommend this case to anyone with the need to protect their iPod Touch.

The great thing about this case is that it is clear. I'd rather have it be clear because it makes the case less noticable, and it lets you see that youre really using an iPod touch rather than someting in leather or silicone.
The thickness of it is sufficient, but doesnt make the very slim iPod too thick, and I feel like I could drop it on the ground with no worries at all.
The only concerns I have are that some dust has gotten inside, because it doesnt seem to form a perfect seal. So if the dust moves around it may scratch up the back of the iPod. Other than that, it fits great.
Good looks, great protection [Posted on 2008-04-18]
I recently ordered this case and I love it! It looks great and doesn't mask the beauty of the iPod. It adds a little weight and bulk but it's not that significant. It actually feels better in my hand with the case on. I like the fact that I don't have to remove the case to charge it. My non-iPod headphones fit fine with the case on, even though the headphone jack is larger than that of the iPod headphones. You can also reach the sleep button fine with the case on.
It's nice that they include the screen protector. It's not too hard to put on, you have to make sure to wipe your screen really well first and try not to touch the actual sticking surface of the protector. I was able to put it on without bubbles or dust but it doesn't seem to stick well around the very edges. I tried to peel it off at the bottom to fix it a little and now there is a large section at the bottom which won't stick anymore. Oh well, with the case on, you can't really tell. I found a trick to open the case without scratching it: use a small coin, a dime is fine, take the cloth that comes with the case and drape it over the slot as a barrier between the case and the coin. I have opened the case many times already and have no scratches. The case has such a tight fit that I had a weird issue with some marking that looked like trapped moisture or oil between the back of the iPod and the case. I kept wiping the iPod and the case and even used rubbing alcohol to remove any oil and I still had that marking. It annoyed me so I put a little sticker on the back of the iPod and it fixed the problem. The back of the case is not perfectly clear, it's clouded, but you can still see through it. This also means that if there is any dust under the case, you can see that too. Just be sure to wipe your iPod really well before putting the case on.
