Review on Incipio SILICRYLIC Polycarbonate Silicone Purple by Scott Gafur

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Worse, in my opinion

I already have three iPod Touch 3G cases. My first was the InCase brand. I'm not sure, but maybe InCase became Incipio. Anyway, I have some problems with this case. First, the seam where the mold connects (the mold that formed it) is not precise, resulting in an annoying bulge of excess rubber around the entire outside edge. It wasn't very noticeable when I first opened the package, but after a few days of use, it started irritating my hand. I tried cutting it off but ended up with a pretty messy edge around this thing. Second, this is one of those designs where you have a silicone base that you put a plastic frame around, creating a sort of X design that extends into the corners. It's ok (unnecessary but the view is cool). However, if you often mount your iPod touch on something like a dashboard and rely on the rubber base to make it non-slip so it doesn't fall off easily, you'll be disappointed as that extra latch on a piece of plastic ensures a hard one , slippery plastic floor. After using it for two weeks, I threw it away. I've just received the Belkin Grip Duo backpack which is an easier fit silicone rubber (like my old InCase) which I a) personally prefer and b) is a lot cheaper (you get two in the box). less than the price of this Incipio model It's all a matter of personal taste but I found the Incipio to be poorly finished because of that annoying seam/edge and that cool plastic thing that actually makes the case less functional.

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • The list goes on.

It's a very sturdy case. It protects my iPod Touch very well. I like the color of the case too.
