Bought this for my daughter's second iPod touch. Her first was unprotected and after several drops it was trashed. We put this cover on the new one. This cover doesn't make the iPod too thick. It is somewhat slip resistant so she doesn't seem to drop it as often. Nice cover, nice price.

Pros:
Size
Color
Durability

The Commuter Series OtterBox for the iPod touch 4th Generation is an AMAZING case!! I love it!! I did not realize that the silicon and polycarbonate shell separate. I thought that is nice and it makes it easy to clean the little dust that is attracted to it. I will say that without the iPod in the case it seems a little flimsy, but with the iPod inside of it is quite nice. I have found that it is a very protective case since the few times I have dropped it and I am sure that there is still many more to come. ;-) It is not meant to be as big and bulky as say the Defender series which will offer more protection for the iPod. This as one can tell by the name is meant for easy transport and the sleekness of it. It easily slips into a pocket and takes up very little space. Next, I must say that I didn't know really what to think of the silicon plugs at first , I knew that they said it helped to keep the dust out of the access ports and therefor helped protect the ports from build up. But know that I have them on the actual iPod I think it is very nice feature. Now, I like that OtterBox has kept a hole in the back so you can see the apple. Some people think that this is bad because it is not protected. I on the other hand think that it is nice to still be able to see the apple and I don't think it really wrecks the apple and surrounding area. The silicon is nice and flexible. Usually with silicon overtime it will separate from the device. But with the polycarbonate shell over it seems to hold its place and not stretch as it normally would. OtterBox has also used another pro of silicon and textured it. It is textured on the sides where you would grip it in a hand. On the left and right of the polycarbonate shell on the back. This makes it not slip as easily. To wrap up, I have found that the case fits very well over my iPod. I had got the red and black case and I love the color. The red is not to bright. It is like a primary color red, a shade or two darker. I love the mix if the two colors (red and black). Overall, I would definitely recommend this case and if I ever need another device protected I will for sure buy OtterBox. :-)

Pros:
Stylish, slim, lightweight, great protection

Cons:
none
