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.

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.

I have the 3 color pack of Jam Jacket for iPod mini. The Jam Jacket would have been a nice accessory it weren't for the fact that this thing collects dust like crazy. After a few days for usage, it was covered with a layer of dust. I just used it in my home and in the car, not dusty places. I give it 3 stars for design and style but minus 2 stars for usability due to the dust issue. My iPod mini now lays bare naked next to my computer, it looks better this way anyway.

First of all, I have an email address, I just don't want to subscribe to amazon. Well this ipod case is not the best. there better ones out there. When I first got this case, I thought it rocks, But I was wrong. The silicone was sticky so it attracted a lot of dirt and other crap, It had no air vents in tha back, And the screen protector was silicone so it attracted dust to the screen, and after a couple weeks, it ripped! There are better cases out there like the xterememac silicone sleeve. It has vents in the back so it keeps the ipod cool, It has so screen protector, but I bought some great hard plastic ones, and the silicone is not sticky. It's harder but it gives better protection. It would go with the Xtrememac sleeve or the iskin.

The DLO jam jacket is one of the bad ipod mini skins on the market. This case is crap because it ripped so I tokk it off my mini and I dropped it so it broke. But I have a replacement now. The screen protector is slilicone so it sticks to the screen and it collects dust too much. I now have an Xtrememac clear ipod mini case. The silicone is thicker and it has better protection. It has no screen protector but i made a better screen protector for it. I don't recomend the Dlo Jam jacket for people who want to get their money's worth

Also one more thing, the jamjacket sticks to your ipod.

I recomend The iskin or Xtrememac.

This thing is a dust magnet just like the other reviewer said, the jacket also kind of sucks the life out of the color of the mini and it is way less attractive with the jacket on. That said, my mini has taken 2 pretty good tumbles with the jacket on and the case is still flawless.

I really like the customer serivce here, fast and easy!
The price is also good, cheap and worth it!
However, I found out my mini sometimes doesn't fit for the cover.
It comes out a little bit, but after all, not bad!

This is a horrible case. it always sticks to your iPod mini making funny looking marks on the screen. It still gets the iPod scratched and dirty. It also is difficult to take on and off.

Overall this is a very good protective skin, but the screen protector is annoying. The screen protector makes it hard to see the screen. Since I use my ipod a lot, it might scratch or breal easier. My cousin has an ipod too but it has lots of scratches and it's slightly chipped. I got the skin so I could use it longer and noy break it. Even though it makes your ipod a bit bigger, you'll get used to it. If you want to take good care of your ipod, get this or anyother skin. Yuo'll not regret it.

Directions if you want to remove the screen protector.
Get a small sharp knife of some scissors and gently cut it.
