Good protection, plastic parts [Posted on 2008-01-21]
I had this case for my 60 and 80-gig ipods, and enjoyed it. The belt clip was one of the reasons for getting it, as it puts the ipod in a convenient location for reaching the controls. The dual lock mechanisms move in opposite directions, so there's less chance of the case falling open accidentally.
The parts are all made of plastic, so eventually they're going to suffer from fatigue. First to go was the belt clip itself - it is removable from the case, and finally gave up the ghost when I was reattaching it. Next was one of the locks, so right now I only have one holding it closed. I have had the case for over a year and a half, so it has actually performed quite well, and that's why I'm going to get another one for the ipod classic.
However, I will not be ordering it from Amazon (from their 3rd party retailer, that is). More than eight dollars for shipping a 6-ounce case (although the product page lists both one pound and three pounds)? That sounds a lot like the eBay trick of jacking up the shipping costs so that you don't have to pay the host (Amazon) as large a percentage of the selling price. I'd advise Amazon to take a closer look at "PricePiggie".
Well designed case provides great protection for iPod Classic [Posted on 2008-02-27]
Well designed case provides great protection for iPod Classic. It fits the Classic very nicely. Excellent!
Great case! [Posted on 2008-06-13]
Looked for a nice, protective case for my new iPod. Found this one after reading reviews. It's perfect. In fact, my husband wants one of his own to replace his case which he recently purchased!
Overall it's a great case! [Posted on 2008-06-16]
I dont want to make an overly wordy review, but the case is great. Very sturdy, clean design that doesnt detract from the look of the ipod. I've had just about every type of case imaginable for my ipods and this one tops them all.
The downside is that the clear plastic is very susceptible to scratches and the belt clip is a bit difficult to use.
Good looking, versatile iPod case [Posted on 2008-07-31]
I've used Contour Showcases on my iPods since they became available. I've tried many others, but I keep coming back to this one.
Pros: Easy to remove iPod from case - a definite plus if you dock your iPod frequently or connect it to various accessories. Sharp appearance. Removable belt clip.
Cons: Scratches easily, but better than having a scratched iPod. Not much cushioning in case iPod gets dropped. Click wheel remains uncovered/unprotected. Using belt clip results in iPod aligning horizontally instead of vertically.
Overall, this is a decent case that's easy to put on and remove, protects most of the iPod from scratches, and will confer a slight degree of extra protection in case of drops.
NOTE: This 160GB iPod Classic will also fit in the Showcase for the 80GB iPod with Video, which is slightly cheaper.
