For those whom this may concern, this case also fits the iPod 30GB Photo. The case isn't as tight as people describe it but it fits perfectly. This case doesn't make the ipod much thicker. It barely adds any weight on in fact.

The plastic that it's made of is great. It is definately scratch resistant; it's so strong that you could use a pocket knife and scratch the back and your ipod won't even be harmed. When you put the case into jean pockets, it tends to stick in there so taking it out will inside-out your pockets (I hope that made sense). This case will not slid off a dashboard either (although I wouldn't recommend it). Although the packaging says that it's shock absorbant, I don't recommend dropping your iPod.

For a screen protector and wheel protector, I recommend that you cut out a piece of paper protecter and slip that into the case. The hard plastic that the cases come in will also work but after you cut it out, you'll have to use sandpaper to sand it smooth so it doesn't scratch you iPod once you put it in.

After you have the plastic in the case, you're ipod will be completely protected. The only thing i don't like is the top is too wide open and dust tends to get in from the top. The bottom of the case is perfect; it closes completely so the case also acts as a dock protector.

I have an iPod 20 GB also, and this fits that as well. As for the 40GB iPods, I wouldn't recommend it. My friends who have the 40GB iPod tell me that it doesn't not fit. Some have been able to JAM the ipod into the case but that cannot be good for it.

Taking an iPod (20/30GB) out of the case is very easy and smooth. It will not scratch the ipod at all when you put it in or take it out.

For those people who sync thousands of songs at a time, you should take your iPod out of the case because the harddrive gets hot and the skin is only making it hotter... hot = bad.

Overall, this case is wonderful. I wouldn't recommend anything as this price is perfect COMPARED TO OTHER CASES. Honestly speaking, I think that these cases took less than 25 cent to make in a factory and I believe that the price is outrageous. Like I said however, COMPARED TO OTHER CASES' PRICES, this is actually pretty good.

Pros:

+ Long lasting material

+ Cheaper than other cases

+ Scratch resistant

+ Doesn't scratch iPod when removing/putting on

+ You can dock/charge/sync iPod without removing case

Cons:

- You have to make your own screen/wheel protection

- The case's top is a little too large and allows dust to enter

- Doesn't have holes in the back to let the iPod "breathe"

5/5 *****

Early in my iPod ownership, I relized I'd need something to help prevent little scars on the chrome. This skin is just what I expected. It fits well and looks great. This skin appears to allow good docking access, but I don't dock...

Recommended.

I`m pleased with it.

Only criticism is that the wheel is exposed. Maybe they could have put some clear, thinner plastic over it.

I took it on the beach and it got sand in the wheel, but other than that, I`m happy!

I BOUGHT AN APPLE IPOD(FROM AMAZON, NOT A SALES MERCHANT) FOR MY HUBBY FOR CHRISTMAS AND ALSO ORDERED PRODUCT NUMBER 4G-IS-1001-B FOR $14.28 THIS IS AN IPOD SKIN, BLUE IN COLOR. I RECEIVED THE PACKAGE AND THE PART NUMBER LISTED ON THE PACKAGE IS CORRECT HOWEVER THE CONTENTS ARE FOR A G3 IPOD (THIRD GENERATION) THE IPOD I BOUGHT IS A 4G. THIS PACKAGE SAYS IT WILL FIT ALL NEW IPODS, IT DOES NOT! DO NOT BUY THIS ONE. ON AMAZON (WHERE THIS WAS PURCHASED, NOT BY A SALES MERCHANT) THE PRODUCT LISTING SAYS IT'S FOR A G4 IPOD AND SHOWS THE PRODUCT NUMBER WHICH IS WHY I PURCHASED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE, THE CORRECT PACKAGE CAME BUT NOT THE RIGHT CONTENTS, SOMEONE AT THE FACTORY MUST HAVE MADE THE MISTAKE BY LETTING THESE SLIP PAST QC. MAKE SURE YOU ACTUALLY RECEIVE A G4 SKIN IN THE G4 PACKAGING...NOT A G3 SKIN IN G4 PACKAGING. OTHERWISE I'M SURE THIS WILL BE A GREAT SKIN...I'VE GOT TO GO BUY ANOTHER ONE SOMEWHERE ELSE. P.S. ONE QUICK WAY TO TELL IS BY LOOKING AT THE SKIN, IF IT HAS FOUR SMALL CIRCLES ON THE FRONT UNDER THE SCREEN, IT'S A G3.
