Review on Speck PixelSkin Rubberized Touch Purple by Manuel Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent and functional

Cover Love my bacon. I use it for my 3rd generation iPod touch. The case fits very well and doesn't let the iPod rattle there. The front of the case also hides the home button, which I like. The case also covers the volume and power controls; All of these controls work well through the lid. The body itself is heavily structured with square blocks. They're not bulky or unattractive in my opinion, but they add extra support. The case keeps the iPod from sliding on all the surfaces I've tried: smooth tabletops or dashboards, and soft chairs or car seats. This is a big plus, but the surface of the body retains the villi that fall into the ridges. A small price I think. The rubberized body makes it difficult to slide in and out of your pocket - that's the trade-off you get for gripping rather than sliding. This isn't a problem for me, but I don't carry it in and out of my pocket all the time. I have a black case which makes the iPod less visible and more useful. It's certainly not a fad, but I like the look and feel of it being less likely to be stolen than many bling-heavy cases. Finally, the case offers really good fall protection for the iPod, as my little one proved on day one. He fell from a height of about two meters onto the wooden floor - without any damage. While not bulky, the case is soft and thick enough to provide excellent protection from bumps, scratches, and accidental bumps. The only thing I would have liked better is that the bottom part of the plug would be a bit harder; However, the material is quite soft so it stretches easily and I'm afraid that lint will collect there. All in all, this case is the best I've seen. I would definitely buy this again.
