It looks great when first installed it. It even covers up hairline scratches but clear enough to show the engraved letters on my iPod. But after owning it for over a year, it is no longer clear, it got darker (yellowish). Cover also gets in the way when inserting the headphone plug. But still looks pretty good.

Mostly a great product, but like other reviews have commented, the headphone jack is slightly covered. You can still fit it in and listen to your music, and it'll work fairly well, but you'll have a little difficulty with it. If it weren't for that, I'd love it. The regular port to upload music and apps works fine, and the material doesn't collect dust. I got it because I have an iPod Touch skin that I wanted to display, and it's clear enough to show it, although the diamond pattern does cover it up somewhat. While it's not perfectly clear, it mostly serves to add a nice texture and I can still see the design through there. If it wasn't for the slight problem with the headphone jack, it'd be perfect, but it's workable.

I really like the case and the screen protector. They do a great job of protecting the iPod without detracting from the design. However, after just a couple of weeks, the rubber is starting to yellow. I would suggest getting one of the colored skins as opposed to the clear to avoid this problem. I'll probably end up getting a new one in a different color. Otherwise, great product.

HI,

I got the clear one and it is now a dark amber color due to colors either rubbing onto it from jeans or it's fading. Seems to be more that colors are rubbing into it. :)

I love the case due to the grippiness of the case. I can lean it up against something and it doesn't slide down.

My big complaint is the holes on the bottom for the headphone and power don't really work out. The only headphones that work easily are the really thin connectors. Any of the normal ones you have to stretch the case around it or slightly remove it to get a good connection.

And as for the power, ugg, you have to squish the casing between the connector and the case to get it to connect properly. Again, you could pull up the case a bit from the bottom and then slide it in but it doesn't look nice.

I contacted ISkin and they said they would replace it but it was to be mailed up to canada, which was about $10 or so in shipping. Decided I'd live with it and I still have it on my ipod...a year later.

I'd buy another one but I'd be weary of the case allowing these connectors to attach properly but good thing I'm adaptable to my environment!

I wanted this work badly. I had just purchased a touch and wanted to protect the screen and get some tacky on as it likes to slip out of my hand. the cover itself is good quality material that doesn't pick up lint but still feels very good in the hand. The cut outs are way off. I have to modify my headphone jack as it was not making good contact. The thing that really sucks about this cover is the screen. Seriously, you have one attempt to get it right or its done. Hands of a surgeon would struggle with this piece. Just hope you get lucky. If you have to remove it and make a second go, you are screwed. It picks up dirt and lint out of the air and causes bubbles. If you try and get them off the screen protector it gets worse. If you live in a clean room this will work. I gave it three stars because i actually like the product, the glitches are just too much. I wouldn't recommend it to a friend!
