5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Case by DLO, December 2, 2007

By	M. Pickering (MI, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

After searching high and low for a folio style case for my new iPod Touch, I was thrilled to see that DLO was offering a nice, padded leather case for the Touch. I have purchased DLO cases for my iPod Nano (1st gen), and for my daughter's Sadisk Sansa e260 MP3 player. DLO really makes nice cases for MP3 players. This new DLO HipCase Folio for iPod Touch is very soft and padded. The magnet closures for the flip cover are a very nice touch. The belt clip is built on the case and is very slim; unlike those bulky, cheap plastic clips like so many other manufacturers use. The plasic clips break easily and make the cases stick out from your belt far too much. The iPod Touch fits in this case perfectly, and all of the ports and buttons line up just as they should. You don't have to take the MP3 player out of the case to charge it or for anything else. It provides the right amount of protection without adding an ulgy, bulky look to the sleek, thin design of the player. I highly recommend this case to everyone with an iPod Touch! The price is great and the quality is superb! =o)

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the small cost!, November 14, 2007

By	B. Mostafavi "deadonthephone" (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I must say, I hate most of the hard plastic or soft gel cases they have out there for all the iPod models. For my iPod touch, in particular, the only cases out there were also open to the elements, which meant that my iPod screen would either be in danger of being scratched or damaged, or I would have to put a plastic protector over the screen, which would reduce the touch sensitivity (not to mention all the damn bubbles that get caught under those things).

Since the iPod touch came out, I've just been using the slipcase from my previous iPod, and have been looking for a case that both completely covered the iPod, but flipped open to allow the screen to be accessed without hindrance. This case does both, and you could not ask for a better product.

The case is soft leather, which looks and feels very nice and allows the flap to be bent behind the iPod without problems, and the flap is conveniently held in place while closed with magnets. There's easy access to all ports, and even a small hole near the top of the iPod for the light sensor, which shows good thinking on the manufacturer's part. There is also a belt clip on the back, which is handy if I ever need to use it. The Touch fits very snugly inside, but is still easily removable (unlike some other cases, which nearly require a crowbar to insert and remove).

My only gripe (and it's a small one), is that when in the case, the leather around the screen makes access to the borders a little harder, especially with web browsing (although it may just be my big fingers). Either way, it stopped being a problem after I was used to it.

This is hands down the best case I've had for any mobile device. It's obvious the manufacturer put a lot of thought into what iPod Touch owners really wanted. If you have an iPod touch, and you want good protection with ease of use, you want this product! Well worth the small cost!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Case seen yet in USA, November 9, 2007

By	Nishant Agarwal (Calabasas, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the best case and first time ever I found a great case for any gadget of mine in USA. Perfect fit, good quality, looks great. One reviewer has mentioned no plastic to protect screen, but I think that is ok because you are supposed to touch the ipod touch :) to use it, hence in fact if it had a plastic cover on screen, I would give it one star and not buy it.
This case also has a small hole cut out on top to let light fall on the ambient light sensor which automatically adjusts brightness of the ipod touch. Get this case asap.
