When I recieved my first Ipod 20gb I was really disapointed with the case that came with it. Apart from killing the Ipods good looks I dropped it twice in the first two days because of the rather weak clip. Not only was I dissapointed with the above mentioned, but I couldn't believe that Apple made a case with no protection on the corners for a product that beggs care and attention. I don't know what the statistics are but there is a good chance that if the Ipod takes a fall it will hit the corner at some point in the disaster!
When I recieved my new 40gb Ipod with the dock I couldn't believe that Apple were still sending this case out with a product of this class. Surely someone has made this complaint to the company during the last few years! I gave it a two only because the material it is made of is reasonable quality and it functions - if you dont drop it and are extremly careful when using the clip.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy, But Inconvenient Case, November 10, 2004

This case came with my iPod, and so I tried it out for the first few weeks. I'm not a big fan for two reasons:

1) If the case turns upside down (e.g. its on your belt and you bend over), the iPod falls out.

2) You can't push the buttons while it's in the case. True, you can pull it up out the unopened top of the case and push the buttons, but I'm the kind of person who likes to jump around songs and albums. I prefer cases that have fronts that you can see the buttons through and push them through. Perhaps those types aren't as protective, but they work better for me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beware of gravity...., March 15, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Apple Soft Nylon Carrying Case and Belt Clip for 40 GB iPod 4G (Black) (Electronics)

This is a great case, unless you turn it upside down. It's a sleeve, and doesn't have a latch or snap at the top. This may not seem like much of a problem, but then I didn't expect to be turning it upside down. Accidentally. Five feet above a tile floor. (Okay, so Apple replaced my iPod after that one. But still, it was unpleasant.)

The belt clip will only take limited abuse (as will any product). Mine broke last weekend while I was carrying too much luggage on vacation. A shoulder bag pushed too hard against the belt clip, and snapped it off.

This product works well, but if your life is at all adventurous, try another product.
