Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Pink Speck CandyShell Case: Enhancing Protection for iPod touch 2G and 3G by Tay Tran

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sweet as Candy suitable for MP3 and MP4 players Accessories

Many references checked before selection. I've watched a lot of video reviews on YouTube. I'm not the type of person who wants to change iPod cases like clothes. I just wanted one for protection so I wanted a good one that would have both form and function. In the end I settled on Speck Candyshell. I originally wanted the original cranberry color but it is no longer made and almost impossible to find. Instead, I opted for white and gray. APPEARANCE: He has amazing style. Smooth, shiny, hard outer coating looks great. Candyshell is the perfect name for it. The mottled logo on the back and gray accents on the edges give it a simple and clean look. PROTECTION: Even though it looks great, it should still serve as a case to protect your device, especially from scratches. Candyshell consists of two parts. It has a silicone interior so you don't have to worry about scratching the chrome back of your iPod. The outside is made of hard plastic. I installed it without hesitation knowing it wouldn't damage my iPod and case. The front of the case has a nice edge so you can put it with the back of the case up and the screen down and don't worry about damaging the device as it's held by the edge of the case, not the iPod . I do this a lot because I like the way the back of the case looks. Again, don't worry about damaging your iPod. In addition, the case fits very tightly on the iPod. So there is no chance of accidentally falling out. By the way, in this case, you can get your iPod as long as it has a body pack. That's exactly what I did. But I removed the film and decided it wasn't needed. The case is designed to fit perfectly and comfortably on an iPod touch 2G or 3G with a back cover (because they are the same size). FEEL: The last thing to say is how you hold the case while using the iPod. That's great. I like it better than the bare iPod. You can hold it securely and it's very comfortable even if you play for hours. The buttons are also closed. Many cases only have cutouts for the power and volume buttons. Silicone key pads are built into this case. They work great. There's no stress or hassle in pressing the buttons, especially the volume buttons. The power button might be a little less pressure sensitive, but that's a plus for me because it's rarely used unless I'm holding it down to turn the device off, so it's harder, read up, it's harder, accidentally to do that is a good thing. I have to reiterate that it's not "hard" at all, it's just harder to accidentally do, say, when holding it in landscape mode while watching a video. Which I've done multiple times with a bare iPod. CONS: I really can't say anything bad about this product. The only downside is that I have a mic and it's too wide to plug in while this case is on. I honestly only bought the mic to get free shipping on my order, so I don't really care, but I should mention it. If I were to use the microphone I would have to remove this case to do so. I don't think there will be any problem with headphones unless you have a really big adapter like a 1/4 to mini jack adapter. But I think every case will be the same story. You also get a microfiber cloth and a screen protector with this case. Although I don't care because I wouldn't use the foils that come with the cases. I recommend the Power Support line of protective films. I've tried several and this brand is by far the best I've ever used. Cloth is a nice bonus if you don't already have it.

Pros
  • Openings for all connections, controls and sensors; Easily removable for docking
Cons
  • For pensioners
