If you need a nice polycarbonate case for your iPod, this is one. If you need a kickstand for your iPod, this has one. If you want something that shows off the iPod’s natural looks, this does that.
If you’re a brute who doesn’t read instructions, don’t get this: You’ll break it.
If you think this will protect your iPod from being dropped, don’t get this: You’ll break it.
If you think this is meant to be anything but a case to protect your iPod Touch while it’s in your pocket, don’t get this: You’ll break it.
This is a nice case, but it’s not meant to take abuse or stand against the hordes of Sparta. It’s a plastic case that snugly fits your iPod Touch, and requires a vinyl film (included) or Invisible Shield or Best Skins Ever to protect the screen. It’s not going to keep your iPod Touch from getting dinged up if you just toss it in your backpack or purse. It’s not going to completely defend your iPod Touch if you throw your keys and change into the same pocket. It’s just another layer of protection to keep your iPod Touch in good shape IF YOU TAKE CARE OF IT.
The kickstand is what sold me on this case over others. I can’t say I love the clear look (I much prefer the leather look of various Griffin models) but I cannot deny that the innovative kickstand design is VERY handy. No, you can’t have headphones on when you have the kickstand out and the iPod standing vertically– But that’s due to weird design on Apple’s part (why is the headphone jack on the bottom?) and not the makers of this case. HOWEVER, when you NEED this kickstand, i.e., when watching videos, you’ll note that the iPod is designed to be horizontal, thus the headphone jack is on the right side and well clear.
The kickstand requires a knowledge of how to close it, otherwise you’ll break it. Once you know what you’re doing, it feels pretty sturdy.
You can dock your iPod in this case, as long as you have a decent sized dock. I just used the next size up, and it’s no problem. Your mileage may vary.
The button-covers do make the buttons less sensitive. This can either be a blessing or an annoyance. It’s handy when the iPod’s in your pocket, as it’s not constantly waking up and going back to sleep… However, it’s annoying when you’re navigating and you’re used to being able to zip through things. Every once in a while, with this case, you may have to press the sleep/wake/home button TWICE to get it to register.
All in all, I like this case. I don’t love it. For me to love it, it would have to have the following changes:
* Leather over the polycarbonate, for a better look and feel (see Elan Form).
* Slightly more space around the screen, so you’re not hitting the bezel when scrolling.
* If not a leather covering, then a matte option. It’s too shiny otherwise!
Get this if you need a stand to go with your iPod Touch. This is great for frequent movie watchers or YouTube junkies. Not so good for people who prefer the vertical iPod stance to the horizontal one.
