1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Case., December 6, 2004

I bought this case only because my local CompUSA had no other cases. First of all, the price is way too high for a single piece of rubber. Second of all, it's very difficult to get on and off, since it's made out of rubber and iPods are made out of metal (a lot of friction). Thirdly, it gets dirty very easily. The screen to protect the iPod's screen isn't made of plastic, but instead rubber (like the rest of the case). It picks up dust and lint very easily and sticks to the iPod's screen. I think that's supposed to be a plus (sticking to the screen), but not all of the air bubbles go away, which creates very annoying shadows on the screen of the iPod. The dust and lint also create more annoying shadows.

This case is very bad. Soon, I'm getting a Contour Showcase iPod case. It looks very promising and actually worth the money, unlike this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars HORRIFIC TO YOUR IPOD, June 11, 2005

This was the second case I bought. I thought it would be reliable because of the screen protection, ventalation, and silicone rubber. WOW WAS I WRONG!!! The only thing this case could possibly be used for is a duster. It is open at the top of the case so when ever you try to adjust and or take it off dust collects inside and is a pain to get out. Another complaint I have is that is scratches the screen whenever you take it off. I now have a long scratch down the front of my pod. If I were you look at the Contour Showcase it is one of the best cases possible. DO NOT BUY THE JAM JACKET!!!!!!!!

when i bought my ipod 20gb i knew that the first accessory i'd get for it was a case. now i didn;t do much research on them, so i was just looking for a case that covered my ipod but allowed me to still access the click wheel without removing it constantly.

seeing as this was really the only case that met my criteria at best buy, i bought. after using it for a week or two, the cons severely outweigh any possible pros.

first off, the case is way too expensive. 20 bucks for a piece of rubber? the sides are nice and allow for a better grip, but most of the time i have the ipod in my pocket so that was useless.

the case fits tightly over the ipod, and while this may sound like a nice feature, it sure causes problems putting on the case and removing it. i spent a good twenty minutes forcing my ipod down into the silicone case. which brings me to my next point.

if the screen protector is one of the selling points for you, be advised that it is NOT plastic, the entire case is silicone. i didn't think this would be a big problem when i bought the case, but dust, lint and small hairs get easily trapped between the ipods screen and the silicone cover, and its almost impossible to clean without taking the case off (which is nearly impossible in itself). being rubber, the protector sticks to the ipod screen, which can make the screen very difficult to read without constant use of the backlight.

one of the very few nice things about this case is that everything is accessible...the click wheel is easily usable, although the case can sometimes get in the way...the headphone jack and hold button aren't blocked at all, and as far as i know you can keep the case on while you have the ipod on a dock. besides that, this is a waste of money. instead, i recommend Agent 18's Clickshield, its all plastic (so it doesn't attract dust), very light and you can take it off easily. do NOT get a silicone case!
