Truely Protects!

When I bought my iPod, I immediately went out to find a case that would best protect my iPod from breaking & scratching & this one was the one! The case is hard plastic underneath to keep your iPod from breaking & has a soft rubbery coat on the outside to also cushion your ipod in the event that it falls. I have found that unlike regular just-plastic cases, it does not crack open if it falls because of the rubber outside. Also it is much more protective than just-silicone cases which will just bounce your iPod around. It really gave me access to my ipod's controls without any problems just like t says! Also, the clip can slide on or off if you want it or not (but it will not have your iPod ever slip out of the slide-on clip, so don't worry). The clip can also be slid on so that it covers the screen, preventing not only scratches my the iPod, but from any buttons being pressed while it is in my bag or pocket. Also, the color is very convincing. I got mines in red and everyone was convinced my ipod was really red (but it was actually silver! Red was not even a color these iPods were available in at the time but people thought mines was custom made! Haha)

Pros:
Sturdy, fashionable, tough, long-lasting, hasn't broken (after 10000000 falls) after 2 years, comes with a neck strap, handy optional clip, not ONE scratch on my iPod, My iPod still work perfect, can plug into my computer or headphones w/o taking off the case, full protects my iPod, protects from the rain, etc :D

Cons:
the case is kind of hard to take off but that also means it will never pop off if you drop it :), will not protect your iPod if dropped in water, dirt occasionally sneaks in through the small spaces.
