5.0 out of 5 stars Ipod Case, August 3, 2009

Protection in a small package and you get both red and black versions. I think I could drop my iPod Touch onto concrete without damaging it and access to connectors and touch screen are not encumbered.

I made this purchase based on a positive review by MacWorld. I was originally thinking about a hard case but they made this recommendation so I decided to give it a try. I like both the style and the utility of this design. I also really like the fact that there two cases(one black, one red - similar design) in the package. I don't know how much abuse one would have to inflict on the cover to render it worthless. Probably more than you'd want to put your Touch through. The fact that the package also includes screen guards and a cloth to wipe the unit down.

We do have animals, and as a previous poster stated, this one appears to be a bit of a hair magnet. That said, I'm still glad I made the purchase and it should perform the duty of protecting my ipod nicely even if I decide to go in another direction down the road.

3.0 out of 5 stars Static cling., December 15, 2008

PROS:

- This is a very good iPod Touch 2G case. Inexpensive and it protects your iPod from scratches and offers a decent protection if you ever drop it.
- Unlike other cases, it covers the home button but makes it still usable due to the indentation in the silicon.
- The volume and power button is also covered but still functional unlike hard plastic cases where there are access holes for the buttons.
- It is inexpensive and you get 2 for the price of one.
- The fit is snug.
- The package comes with 2 clear screen shield. If you are looking for an inexpensive cover for your iPod, this is the one to buy.

CONS:
- A magnet for dust, hair fiber and anything else that clings to the rubber/silicon material due to static.

Yes its silicon material produces static (then again that is probably true on all silicon based cases). If you don't mind the cover to look dirty from dust and hair fibers (specially if you have dogs or cats), then it's not a problem. I guess one can say that it served it's purpose. However, it just doesn't look cool when you are trying to impress someone with your expansive taste in music by showing off your iPod Touch to other peeps; and as you take it out of your pocket there are loads of dusts and cat/dog hair covering your case. So it's coolness factor is definitely low.

Or you can just make sure to empty pockets and wash your clothes or get rid of your dogs/cats. Just a thought.
