The absolute worst product I've ever bought on Amazon [Posted on 2008-01-30]
I've bought hundreds of products on Amazon over the years. Some have been great -- some have been not so great. This product was downright terrible and unusable.
This "hard case", made in Taiwan, is simply a super-thin plastic shell that barely fits the IPod Touch. The plastic screen protector is impossible to keep clean and is very flimsy. The case itself offers absolutely no protection to the IPod itself and doesn't fit well at all. After wrestling with it for half an hour, I finally got it to snap in place, only to have it fall apart five minutes later. Once it fell apart, the plastic snap holding it in place (which was also paper thin) broke.
After receiving it, I can not BELIEVE this product was over $25. It feels like a $3 case that you'd find in the checkout aisle at WalMart (and at least that would probably work).
Avoid this product. Don't even think about buying it. You'll thank me later.

THE WORST CASE EVER! CHEAP! A REAL DISAPPOINTMENT FROM SPECK! [Posted on 2008-03-31]
I have had a lot of differant cases over the years for differant ipods and this one hands down is the very worse.
I agree with everything the last poster stated about its manufacturer, made of just the cheapest pieces of plastic I have ever seen AND an even cheaper clear piece that is supposed to be the thing that protects the viewable space on your touch screen.
It does a horrible job of protection and these guys at Speck should take a lesson from the people who make Tough Skin Protectors or any of the other clear screen protectors out there that do a way better job.
The part they give you to put over your itouch screen is not even worth putting on, it will be scratched before the end of the day.
I called Speck and asked about replacing it and was directed to their web site, where I tried to order one for an hour, turns out their site was not working, GREAT! They sent me a replacement, "on the house". I received it and guess what? It was already scratched.
The overall plastic case that surrounds the unit also scratches so easily you'd be better off getting a case for the case!
I am surprised at this as Speck usually makes a good tough case, I have several and one on each of my Mac pro's, but they must have been in a big rush to get this one out.
If I were them I would recall this piece of junk and rethink the overall design and manufacturing process of it starting with a proper screen protector and give consumers one that they can actually view their screen with.
Thankfully, the Itouch screen is more scratch resistant than theirs is!
I took this one and threw it in the garbage!
very pleased [Posted on 2008-07-27]
This case offers good protection against scratches and some protection against impact while maintaining a thin profile. Installation was easy and even the thin part of the case was sturdy once installed. The iPod is still easy to use while in the case (including accessing the switch and connectors). The holster is very flexible, swiveling and providing a stand for both orientations. I also like that the iPod can be inserted in the holster two ways, with the screen facing in (less exposure) or out. This case is just what I was looking for.
The only improvement I would suggest is putting a little wedge on the bottom of the piece that holds the bottom of the belt. This would make it easier to reattach the holster to the belt with one hand.
