Being that I got my ipod touch the second day it came out, I had to live with no cover for a couple a of weeks since they didn't have cases yet. Granted the ipod is very durable and the screen does not scratch, however, even though I never dropped my ipod once I started noticing small scratch marks on the back. This is why I highly recommend getting a silicone case like this.

Pros
-Case fits the ipod touch very well. Unlike what others are saying, the holes all line up because it is made for the ipod touch not the iphone. There are no holes for the speakers. I particularly like how there is a hole for the home button. Other cases will cover this part, which just makes it harder to double click so you can get the music controls to pop up.

-The seller includes the clear plastic screen protectors for those who need more assurance that the screen won't scratch. I would rather have this than a case that covers the whole screen because it removes the hassle when quick access to the controls is needed (ie. in the car)

-It is fairly priced and does exactly what its supposed to do. Plus seller gets the product to you in about 3 business days.

Cons:
-Because of the silicon material, the case does attract lint when putting it in your pocket. It is not much of hassle to wipe off the case and remove the dirt.

-There are 2 strips of uncovered surface on the back. This is made for the band that comes with the order. Armband does come in handy, but others might not have use for it. Personally I would rather have the back of the ipod fully covered, but the uncovered surface is not large enough to compromise quality of the product.

The case fits beautifully and is molded to conform to the profile of the two buttons on the Touch (the power button and the main menu button). One thing I really like is that unlike other protective cases, this one does not increase the profile of the iPod to the point that it doesn't fit into a cradle. I use a couple of devices with cradle interfaces and it fits snuggly even with the case on.

The screen protector that was included went on smoothly and is absolutely invisible. The touchscreen is perfectly responsive underneath the cover, plus there seems to be a bit of anti-glare protection.

ONE NOTE: The cover, at least on my Touch, seems to block the light sensor (not sure where it is) because after putting on the sleeve the Touch screen dims and stays dimmed. I had to turn off the auto-dim feature, which is fine because it's not something I was too concerned with. I just set the screen brightness manually.

This case is good given the price. I wanted something to keep my ipod from getting smudgy and this does that.

I only have 2 small complaints.

1. Be aware that the case has NO screen protection. Luckily Vizu included a screen protector because my order was delayed. Had I not had a screen protector, I would have been less than pleased.

2. There are 2 slits in the back of the case so you can clip it to something (belt, bag, etc.), which I would actually prefer not to have, but not a big deal.

Oh, and despite what the picture may or not be, this case does fit my Ipod Touch.

Very good for protecting the ipod from scratches in places like your pocket. People are complaining that the screen is not protected, well if it were to be protected then you couldn't use it cause its "TOUCH"... not buttons. You also don't need to protect it cause its a scratch resistant screen...

This is really helpful in cars too. I usually put it on my dashboard and because of silicon's sticky characteristics it stays in place when driving.

Only negative is that if you put it in your pocket it seems to attract lots of lints.

After reading about 15 different products' reviews, I settled on the black leather case available here because (1) I wanted something sturdier than silicone, (2) it came with a free screen cover, and (3) the price was much better than most of the other leather cases available.

I just got the case today (pretty fast shipping) and it looks good so far.
Pros:
- fits iPod Touch snugly with plenty of space for the computer connector, headphone jack, and it's relatively easy to reach the sleep button (one caveat that I have small fingers)
- case snaps at top of back for extra security, so it won't slip out even if the iPod is upside down
- doesn't block the light sensor (small cutout)
- belt clip is tight...better than the one on my cell phone case and I've never had problems with that one falling off.
- belt clip can also rotate somewhat, so more flexibility in terms of placement

Cons:
- a slight smell from the leather, though not totally unpleasant (it smells something like raw radishes)...hopefully this will go away in a few days
- covers a little of the "home" button but not so much that I can't use it (again, I have small fingers, so this might be harder for other people)
- belt clip makes the whole ensemble noticeably thicker, although that is to be expected
- a little difficult to get the iPod out because the case is so snug, but just pull firmly and it slides out ok

For the screen cover, I just left the one that came with the iPod on and trimmed off the bottom tab, thus avoiding any problems with putting a new one on. That said, now I have an extra :)

There are several options out there for silicone cases, I went with this product (one of the higher priced options)because it showed a cutout to allow the light sensor to function correctly. The case I received has a decent fit, but their is no cutout and their is an annoying eyelet tab on the left side of the case (presumably for a strap?).

I liked everything about the case except the carry strap tab - I usually put my iPod in my pocket and never use a carry strap so the tab was pretty useless to me. Otherwise, a good case.

At first, there was a delay in shipment, but the company apologized stating that they had more orders than inventory! When I got it, it was exactly as described! I couldn't be happier with this case!

This case fit perfectly. It's snug and leaves ample room for the off button and menu button.

The person who said this didn't fit for the iTouch was completely wrong.

This is a basic ipod case. Nothing special, after a while it does stretch a bit and will become loose on your Ipode depending how you use and store it.
