Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Most iPod jackets offer either a hard exterior or a skin-tight fit, which protects a music player from scratches and blemishes but provides minimal protection when dropped on the ground. The iPod action jacket, on the other hand, is soft and safe, with a thick 2.5 mm neoprene exterior that cushions your iPod from knocks and blows. Ideal as a workout partner, the action jacket can clip to your pants via the swivel belt clip or wrap around your wrist or arm for hands-free use. It also features a pair of textured rubber grips on the side, so you can hold the jacket securely even when your hands are wet. As with the best iPod cases, listeners can still operate the iPod while it's in the jacket thanks to the click wheel opening (with access to the four function buttons) and display window. In addition, the case features a Velcro tab at the top for reaching the Hold button. The action jacket is compatible with both the Apple iPod and iPod by HP.

What's in the Box
Action jacket, swivel belt clip, armband.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Available Multi-Purpose 4G iPod Case, October 23, 2004

This review is from: DLO Action Jacket for 3G iPod Graphite (Electronics)

After looking around at the local stores (Fry's and CompUSA) I had just about given up on finding a single case that would offer reasonable protection for my iPod in multiple environments - on my belt and also in exercise, and had resigned myself to having a "skin" type case for just everyday use and then shifting the iPod to an arm band for exercise. Not a particularly great solution - expensive (around $20 for each) and a lot of shifting back and forth to cover both uses.

Then I ran into the DLO Action Jacket at Best Buy, which seemed to cover all my intended uses. Unlike the prior reviewer, I found my 40g iPod fits VERY snugly - absolutely zero slop, and I really like not having to worry about keeping up with more than one case. Also, at $29.95, it's cheaper than the two-case approach. The only criticism I have of this jacket is that when you want to convert from belt clip to sport use you have to snake the band through two loops on the backside of the case and over the little plastic belt clip receiver that protrudes from the back of the case. The process is a little tedious, but the end result is great. The unit feels very secure on my arm and it's easy to forget that it's there.

This jacket is a winner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Seems designed specifically for jogging, July 25, 2004

This case is made of nice material. Unfortunately the Ipod fits rather loosely in the case. Also, one of the Velcro flaps on the top of the case covers the hold button on the Ipod. The case takes away from the Ipod's good looks and slightly hinders usage of the buttons. It doesn't do what I wanted it to do - stay out of the way and simply protect the MP3 player. However, the case would be great to use just for jogging as it comes with a belt and clip that hold the Ipod firmly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Totally Secure, January 8, 2005

This review is from: DLO Action Jacket for 3G iPod Graphite (Electronics)

I got this jacket a month into having my ipod. I had to buy it because I had been using the one that comes with the ipod and when I pulled the iPod out of that case it was easy to drop. One time I did drop it and within a month of owning the iPod I had it in fro repairs.

This case protected my iPod of another 11 months just fine. My complaint with it tough is the plastic peice that protects the screen and pod from falling out. It is stiched on the inside so when the ipod is in there is creates friction. Acrilic and plastic do not mux and you get a slightly scraped serface.

It will protect your pod though.
