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.

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.

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.

The DLO Action Jacket is a must have for all Ipod owners that workout or are on the go. The armband is the perfect way to secure your Ipod when you are running or lifting. I recommend the DLO Action Jacket to everyone.

i purchased the DLO action jacket (neoprene for 20 & 40GB ipods) for my wife for use on walks, etc around town. However, the ipod doesn't fit in properly. The circle that is supposed to line up with the ipod's doesn't. The plasic part covering the ipod is awkward and doesn't align either so you can't press the play button. So, since the ipod doesn't fit in the case overall, this product is useless. pls save your time and money and consider another ipod case.
