3.0 out of 5 stars Good protector but renders the iPod dock and armband useless, September 15, 2004

Have been using this eversince I bought my iPod mini (Sep 2004).
The clear version slightly alters the original color of the Mini. It is available in other colors too.

Jam jacket is a good protection for iPod Mini. It doesn't have a belt clib and hence it is less bulky. It leaves the top of the iPod completely free and hence doesn't obstruct accessories that may sit on the iPod like FM transmiter, NaviPod etc.

Quite an useful product except for the following issues:
1) Can't insert into the dock as the bottom of the Mini is too thick with the jacket
2) Can't insert into the arm band iPod holder for the same reason
3) The entire jacket, especially the thin transparent screen, tends to attract dust and lint (may demand frequent cleaning)
4) There are no perforations on the jacket to let the iPod "breathe" while it is being charged. This might heat up the iPod depending upon the weather conditions.

If you are crazy about the iPod dock, look for a jacket that opens in the bottom to make room for the dock's jack.

There are other similar products featuring silicone jackets with a hard plastic screen protector. This is certainly a great improvement since hard plastic isn't sticky and it doesn't attract dirt as the thin plastic sheath.

1.0 out of 5 stars Silicone nightmare, December 28, 2004

This review is from: DLO Jam Jacket Case for iPod mini (Clear) (Electronics)

After less than 2 months on my wife's iPod Mini, the silicon screen protector bonded to the glass and won't come off. No cleaners or solvents will remove it. The rest of the Jam Jacket does a decent job of protecting the iPod, but the design of that screen cover is very poor. If you have to get this, you'd better use a scissors and remove the screen cover first. Totally unacceptable.

I forgot to mention the jamjacket has no vents in the back so it gets hot! that can make your battery leak. The iskin and Xtrememac have vents in the back so it keeps it cool.
