2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this if you have the new iPod, June 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Belkin Case for iPod 3G (Clear) (Electronics)

I bought this iPod case at a retail store, found it sitting on the shelf next to the new iPod I bought at the same time. One would think that a retailer would sell the new case for the new iPod, but no. The result is that this case doesn't fit the buttons for the new form factor on the latest iPod. While it is probably a good case for the original models, it doesn't meet the needs of the new iPod. Stay away from this case if you have the new iPods.

4.0 out of 5 stars Be careful!, October 6, 2003

This seems to be a very nice product with one HUGE proviso. This is only compatible with the original Ipod. I have the 30 gig model and the case is useless. This incompatibility is not discolsed on the Amazon web page nor the product packaging (plastic bubble case which must be destroyed to open it), so by the time I found out it does not fit the new models, the product is unreturnable

Ok first of all, everyone who's reviewed this item obviously never got past the second grade. People are giving this a low rating due to the fact that its not made for the new Ipod, when the picture of the item CLEARLY shows the old Ipod in the case. So thats not a problem with the product, but with not reading/looking at the description. Also, reviews for a case aren't the forum for reviewing all the digial music players out there so I don't even understand that one.
Second, this is the cheapest Ipod case I could find, so I didn't expect it to be the case of my dreams. But, in fact, I was really happy with it. It fits snug, has a clip (unlike some of the more expensive ones), covers the screen (a big plus and many covers don't have it!), and leaves all the ports accessible. I think I'll rarely ever take it out of its case. One downside, and the only reason it didn't get 5 stars, is that it is a little bulky. The back of the case has a thick pad and the plastic is kinda thick as well. But I would rather it be thick than tear 3 months into owning it.
So, if you want a cheap and durable case with a clip and screen cover, I would really reccommend this one. If you'd rather have something really slim, have a new iPod, or don't mind shelling out the big bucks, there are some super nice cases in the $40-50 range, but not on this site.
