Amazon.com Product Description

Made from supple, hand-stitched leather, the DLO PodFolio case offers stylish, sturdy protection for your 30 or 60 GB iPod video. The clean, smart-looking case goes with almost anything, from a business suit to jeans and a T-shirt. More importantly, the case's main body safeguards your iPod from dents and scratches, especially when combined with the plush flip cover, which also protects the screen and click wheel. Then, when you want to listen to the iPod, simply flip up the cover to reveal the iPod's controls. Inside the padded flip cover you'll also find a handy pocket that's perfect for holding business cards, a driver's license, or a bit of cash. Other details include a sewn-in, leather-covered belt clip, which can also be used as a money clip, and a convenient access hole on the top for connecting headphones. Whether you're dressing up or dressing down, the PodFolio is guaranteed to look great. As with all DLO cases, the PodFolio is backed by a 90-day warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent case for both 30 GB and 60 GB, May 4, 2006

I really like this case. It has exceptional fit and finish. All the openings are cut perfectly, precisely outlining the screen, wheel, and connectors. I have one on my 60 GB, my wife on a 30. Neither of us has seen the scratching problem reported by other reviewers, but we usually leave the case on. The only down side is the fixed belt clip on the back. It takes up extra space when I'm not using the clip.

4.0 out of 5 stars nice "executive" style iPod case, January 19, 2006

This DLO iPod case is clean, sleak, and well made for the money. With the 60 GB G5 video iPod, the case is snug and tight. IMO, this case is designed to be left on the iPod 24/7. The openings for docking and 1/8" stereo jack were cut correctly and provided good access to iPod. The 2.5" screen slot covers nicely without covering edges of screen. There is no transparent plastic cover for wheel or screen in that the flip covers and protects iPod but allows normal viewing and use of scroll wheel and button.

I only gave it 4 stars because I would have liked a swivel, rotatable, and detachable belt clip; and the "slot" to put business cards, CC's, and/or cash is limited. Anything more than 5 business cards and the flap does not stay closed. One folded $20 bill or a few business cards are fine because well, I guess, it's not really a wallet.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Case For The Money, February 23, 2007

I bought this case at CompUSA for more that what is being offered at Amazon. Even at the retail price, I still say it should be worth more. It's that good! The leather is sturdy, with a soft interior; I've pulled my iPod out of the case a number of times just to see the condition and not one single scratch was on the black face or chrome back. The case fits my 30 GB 5.5 gen iPod like a glove (I'm not exaggerating!). In the two months I've had the case, the stitching has not shown any signs of unraveling. The cover is semi-hard (possibly cardboard inside?) and protects the screen and clickwheel well, while the embedded magnet keeps the cover from flapping around. There's also a good size opening in the top of the cover for the headphone jack, however this works best for the headphones with a L-shape jack, not the straight one that Apple's earbuds come with, so the cover can flip all the way back freely. No hole for the hold switch, though. The opening at the bottom for the dock connector is wide enough and presents no problems in connection, unlike some cases I've seen. The fixed belt clip is extremely sturdy and, with normal use, shows no sign of wear. Back to the cover, I even use it to support the iPod to standing position, with any object in back to keep it from slipping, for comfortable video viewing. It even has a small pouch inside the cover for a few business cards or a small optic cleaning cloth (recommended for the screen).

If you're the mega-active type that rollerblades, skateboards and/or climbs mountains and such, you may want a sturdier case than this. But for normal to semi-active people (hiking, running and other activities), this case is a fantastic value for the money. I couldn't be happier with it!
