5.0 out of 5 stars Great case, excellent customer support, March 2, 2005

By	pm444 "pm444" (Okemos, MI USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I bought one of these cases for my first generation iPod Mini, and then it would not come off. I tried everything but it was totally stuck. I took it to several local computer technicians and they were also unable to remove it. I thought about just breaking it off, but I did not want to damage the iPod's finish.

After several phone calls and emails with the company (Contour Design), I mailed the iPod and case to them so they could remove it. They discovered that my iPod was slightly larger than Apple's specifications, which is why it didn't work in the case, so it was not Contour Design's fault at all.

I was very impressed with the way that Contour Designs handled this unusual problem. I never had to wait to be connected, I always spoke with the same person, and he worked with me to solve the problem, instead of trying to pawn it off on someone else. If he had not offered me the option of letting them remove the case, I would have literally been stuck with the case and been unable to remove it from my iPod. Their customer service was exactly what a company ought to provide, but so often does not happen. In fact, they went beyond what they were technically obligated to do, and in doing so, they showed their commitment to customer satisfaction.

As it turned out, I had decided to return my first iPod because the new one with longer battery life came out right after I bought my first one. This made it necessary for me to get the case off the first one and to have it done quickly so I could return it within the 30 day refund period. Contour Design had the case off and returned the iPod (and a new case) using overnight express.

My new iSee case works perfectly with my new iPod and I am a very satisfied customer of Contour Design.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tight Fit, April 15, 2005

By	G. Ross (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I would give this case 5 stars if it wouldn't have taken me an hour to get my ipod out. Too tight for my tastes. If you need to use any sort of docking station, forget it. You can't just snap this on and off very easy. Other than that, it's great. I was using it on a 6gm mini.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, but ..., February 27, 2005

By	Sarethi (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews

... the only thing I don't like about this is that there's no protection for the click wheel. Aside from that, it's a fantastic case. So many iPod and iPod mini cases completely cover up the player. After spending that much money on your mini, why hide it? The clear plastic gives the mini a look like many other Apple components. Yes, it does have a tendency to get scratched, but that does't matter so long as what's inside isn't scratched. I also like the lanyard hole already cut into the plastic; I prefer to have it dangling around my neck most of the time rather than on a belt clip.

It also fits *very* tightly, and getting it on and off can be a hassle (and if you're female, willing to break few nails in the process; my fingers still smart). This thing doesn't fit into a dock, for those of you who use them. Those who don't use a dock should have no problems with this pretty little case.
