Ok, so this is probably not the best protection for your iPod, but what do you want for 6 bucks? I'm cheap. If you're not, buy something more expensive perhaps...

Pros:
- It does protect the screen and click wheel nicely.
- The flip-up top magnetically shuts and holds securely, which I guess helps if you happen to drop it.

Cons:
- The belt clip is ridiculous. It's not a stationary clip. Instead it spins around, which makes the likelihood of it falling off your hip greater. This product is not for the joggers.
- The leather strap that comes with it is too short, which makes it difficult to operate the iPod when it's around your neck.
- It seems that the magnets leave marks on the areas not mentioned under Pros above. But, as long as you never take your iPod out of the case, no worries.
- This is made for the 30 GB iPod Video, but it's actually a little big for it. It leaves room for the iPod to slide up and down in the case. It makes accessing the HOLD switch difficult sometimes when the flip-up top is down. It's easier to just open the top.

If you don't care about the cons and you are cheap like me, go ahead and buy it.

There are flaws with every case, and the belt clip is not this case's best feature. So if you're a guy and want to clip your ipod to your belt or hang it around your neck (* Alarm Alarm Nerd Alert! Nerd Alert*!) go elsewhere. But if you're a woman and toss your ipod in your purse or pocket, or you're a guy over the age of 30 and carry it in your brief case or man-bag or pocket this case is EXCELLENT. I was purposefully looking for a case that would meet this need and this one succeeds brilliantly.
Also, it's so cheap you can get it in multiple colors--I got the orange.
The construction is very fine, the case is lined with a soft leather (or faux leather). The stiching and cutouts for the ports, the wheel and the screen are precise and perfect.
The case is 'loose-ish' but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I've had previous ipod cases that damged the ipod finish when I removed it, this one lets me take it out without trouble.
Although the cover protects the ipod, I'd recommend putting a clear screen cover on just for extra protection.

I purchased this case as an addition to the silicon case that I already owened, and I like this case much better. I own the 80GB classic and I can keep the silicon case on my IPod and still fit it in within this leather case. I don't use the belt clip option, I only use the case, and it just goes into my briefcase or jacket pocket and it works out fine.

This case is designed for the older 30/60 gig ipods and early video ipods. The Newer ipods are half the size of these cases. My Ipod slides right out of the case when not held vertically. It appears to be well built but for a larger ipod. Buyers beware of something that is advertised to fit over 8 years worth of Ipod designs.

i quite enjoy this case, it protects my screen and when its and i drop it i know my ipod is safe.

The case was satisfactory. I wanted a case that I could clip to my belt - before, I was carrying the ipod in my pants pocket. It has swievel clip that conforms to my movements, and the clip disconnects from the case if the case gets snagged. I cut off the lid because it was in the way of accessing the control button. I used it this way for a year or so, then I wanted to take the ipod out. It was impossible. The ipod was jammed into the case. Actually, I had to jam it into the case in the beginning. I had to cut the case to get the ipod. Although the case was satisfying for the intended use, I would not buy this again.

I've been using this for about a year probably. I have to say I love how this case protects the ipod and its' screen.

The cover easily stays in place by some little magnets. The belt clip works great and is easily removable if you wanted to put it in your shirt pocket or some thing.

I'd say the only downside is that if you're trying to watch video on your ipod you have to hold the cover open, but I think a lot of cases you'd have to do that or would have a more muddled view of the screen.

This product is awesome. It protects the whole Ipod from being damaged when dropped, and protects the screen from getting dust or dirt on it when you have the cover closed. The cover is great because it is easy to open and close, but doesn't come open randomly because it uses magnets. Also, there is a hole for the headphones to plug in through the case, and for the cord to attach to charge it. The only downfall is that it is kind of hard to get the Ipod into the case, and extremely hard to get out. This is a good quality if you never want to take the Ipod out of the case, and it stops it from accidentally falling out. Great case though. Looks very nice, and pretty slim, easy to carry around.

This was perfect for my Ipod Classic. It fit perfectly and protects my ipod nicely. Doesn't slip and slide and the holes for in the right place. I love it!

The belt clip is optional ans perfect fits the ipod. Holes are perfect placed as needed. Be sure to get a stick on screen protector before use.
