Review on πŸ”΄ Red Vibes Polymer Case - Enhanced for iPod touch 2G and 3G Compatibility by Christa Baldwin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fits me and looks good

The material this skin is made of is beautiful and durable. I used to have a thinner silicone case and didn't really like it - this offers some shock absorption due to its rubbery nature, but also feels perfectly smooth, looks transparent and is strong enough to fit snugly around the iPod. The included dock guard is perfect and a big plus for me because it prevents annoying crumbs or dust from getting inside. The only downside is that it's not attached to the skin so it's easy to lose it, but since I don't connect/sync my iPod very often and always charge it on my bedside table, it shouldn't be a big deal. The included screen protector was fairly easy to apply and fits well. The fit on the iPod could be better. As someone else mentioned, the headphone jack cutout is slightly off-center - not enough on me to actually cover part of the jack, but enough that with a chunky headphone jack it probably won't fit. . So far I've used several different regular headphones and a portable speaker with this case on my iPod and they all work. Also, the sleep button was a bit difficult to press until I figured out that it had to be pressed from the back. Appearance is great. iPod's chrome back shines through the case, and the design changes hue when you tilt it to the light. It is perfectly smooth on the outside and the interior design is not so flashy as to damage the back of the iPod, which is good. I wouldn't buy this skin if it cost more than $17, which is exactly that much. I have paid the shipping. The regular price is a bit high for such a basic case, so I'm glad this particular seller had it at a good price. All in all, I would recommend this case if you want something unobtrusive - and very pretty - that can protect your iPod well.
