The only part of this product that was not satisfactory was that the screen attracts a lot of lint. Besides that, this is a very good product.

This case is perfectly functional and actually looks good. It is transluscent with a circular cut-out on the back for the Apple logo, so it doesn't hide the beautiful color you chose your iPod Mini for. It protects the body and screen while allowing access to all the relevant buttons and ports. The silicone gives a better grip than smooth plastic, so not only will it protect your iPod if you drop it, but you'll be less likely to drop it. I cannot speak for every example of the product, but I will say that mine is totally odorless.

It is true that the screen tends to collect dust and lint, but it is easy enough to wash off (after removing the iPod).

This product only has two flaws:

1. Attracts a lot of lint/dirt outside/inside of case.
2. Plastic cover over screen creates a 'bubble' so display is somewhat tricky to read sometimes

Overall, it does a great job protecting the iPod mini. Dropped it several times and still works like a charm! That's the reason you buy it, right? To protect, not to enhance.

The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I have trouble taking the darn thing off because it has such good grip and fits so snugly. You have to take the skin off if you want to use the Ipod Mini belt clip. The belt clip is such a tight fit that you cannot attach it with the skin.

But no complaints! It is a perfect fit, it's very classy, nice grip, covers the screen, yet you can attach an iTrip or any accessories (other than the belt clip) and the skin does not get in the way. It is transparent so the color of your ipod still shows (although not as bright). Like any skin with this same texture and grip, it does accumulate some lint, however, it is easy to clean off. Enjoy!

Simple, effective, and inexpensive, the Kensington "sheath" (rather than being an actual case) is a good investment. I go running with my iPod mini and now that I have the extra protection against drops and key knicks, my mind is more at ease. The screen covering is really essential, and the silicon sheath is sturdy enough to protect the ipod body against a fall or two. The major negative is, as has already been mentioned, the added bulk will not allow you use the belt clip or a docking station. If you don't use either anyway, this is a no brainer. Also, unlike a previous reviewer stated, I have not noted any chemical smell.

i brought this at the same time i got my ipod mini. the latter's great!
the case smells very bad. a chemical smell. very strong.
also, the part that covers the screen's scratched.
im not returning it because i dont have time. if idid, i definitely would.
like people already mentioned, it does also bulk to the ipod and wont fit into the belt clip, the screen part does attracts lints, making the screen not as clease as it can be without the case.

It's not the prettiest case for my iPod, but who cares? It's going to keep it from scratching/breaking when I eventually drop it! The main selling point for me was that there's also a protective plastic layer over the screen that will protect the screen during collisions as well. Not many (if any) other cases had that. Plus, you can see the colors through the silicone. I thought the pink/blue/green iPods were way too bright for my taste, but this case could easily blunt those colors.
