[Note: These are identical with the Belkin "Vector" cases except for the stripes. So they cost 1/3 as much per sleeve. (Last Sept. it was over 1/4 as much.)]

What's the catch? 2 sleeve cases at half the going price of many single cases? No deception whatsoever. It's merely an ingeniously simple, quick, and effective way to assure that the silvery backside of your iPod remains untarnished and that if the precious device is, heaven forbid, dropped, some of the shock of the fall will be absorbed by the cover. The rubbery material is just thick enough to serve as a reasonably resilient and potentially protective bumper while remaining thin enough to permit operation of the iPod in virtually any speaker-dock without removal of the sleeve.

Of course, you'll need to spring for a portfolio-style case if you wish to protect the glass screen. (Or, if you're merely wary of scratches, you could cover it with one of those clinging, transparent sheets.) But face it. How often have you found such elaborate cases too cumbersome to be worth the bother? You're not protecting an expensive, appreciating asset, and like it's very name suggests, the Touch is built for communicating with other users and surfers. Why get all fussed up about insulating it?

The Belkin Sleeve slips on the iPod in a microsecond and with a gesture that's totally intuitive. So if like me your pajamas are blue and your street wear black, living couldn't get much easier. (Hint: Although I'm currently seeing the package offered by an Amazon sub-vendor at a lower rate, you may wish to order the item directly from Amazon if you have Prime.)

Anyone who has an iPod Touch can tell you that the thing collects fingerprints, smudges and scratches extremely easily. If left unprotected, it will become scratched by the end of the first few minutes of use. As soon as you put the thing down on a table, slide it around a bit, hand it to someone... you're toast.

Belkin has released this really nice 2-pack of silicone sleeves for the iPod touch that effectively protect your iPod case from getting all messed up. the screen is the only exposed area and that is easily cleaned up with any lens cloth or Apple provided cloth.

I like to keep things shiny and new for as long as possible so this case is a really great product for facilitating that. After pricing some of the other alternative products, some of them leather, I kept coming back to this because it was the perfect solution for me and didn't cost an arm and a leg.

I like the fact that they've included 2 sleeves in the package. It just so happens that both my wife and I have iPod Touches, so each of our iPod's is protected now. Otherwise, it's cool to be able to change the "look" of your iPod with a different color every once in a while.

It's a great product, seems quite durable and aids in the holding of the iPod touch by providing a bit of grip.

5 Stars!

The value for this two pack is great and the product does it's job in terms of covering the iPod Touch and protecting it; however, it is somewhat flimsy so I am not sure how much protection it offers other than keeping fingerprints and scratches off the Touch. I ended up buying an InCase Slider case which has a firm body for extra protection and also with a slider piece ideal for docking the iPod Touch.

These silicone cases are a very good value. Most places you will be able to get them for about 20 bucks, so at 10 bucks a case its a good value. They have a great clean look, especially the black one, and cover the Touch very well. There are volume and sleep/standby button covers that let you press them thru the case easily. The buttom dock area could use a lil more protection, but overall its pretty good. The case adds very lil bulk to the Touch and I can even put it in my docks with the case on. The black one looks so good that you can't really tell there is something even on it.

It fits perfectly to the itouch 2G. The material seems to be very resistant and durable and it has a very nice finish (the borders are smooth and round). The best of all is that it comes with 2 silicone cases. I'm pretty happy with this item.

An excellent sleeve for my iPod touch 2.

It is a very good fit with no loose sides. The edges don't cover any of the touch screen or get in the way. All holes and buttons line up exactly.

The rubber is quite firm and doesn't add much to the overall thickness of the iPod, but has a good amount of rubber around the sides and corners that would help cushion a fall. The colours are as you see in the pictures.

This really does what it's meant to do and it's really inexpensive. I like it a lot. The only problem I have with it is that sometimes when I stick my iTouch in my bag pocket or something and I try to take it out, one corner of the skin will slip off. It's not really a big problem at all though unless you plan to be taking it in and out of your pants pocket all the time. Otherwise, it does what it's meant to do for a very low price.

Amazon price is about 60% less than that of target! I needed to replace my really cheap case I had. Okay..

About the case ...

It is great quality, durable strong silicon.

It is a really good ipod case.

Great price.

Name brand, not cheap knockoffs.

What you see is exactly what you get.

Almost a perfect case, now all I/you need is a screen protector.

I looked for a lot of different kinds of sleeves and finally settled on this one. It's not the cheapest kind out there, but I don't trust the 99-cent ones. At the apple store one sleeve goes for like $30, so this is still a good price.

The sleeve fits pretty well on my ipod. It has all the right holes, and the sides tend to come off a little bit, but overall it's pretty good.

I bought this for my 3rd gen ipod touch. It fits like a glove and feels good in my hand. It also doesn't add too much bulk to the ipod. I'm happy with the purchase.
