Review on πŸ“± Rugged Otterbox Defender Case for Apple IPOD Touch 5th Gen - Glow Green/Admiral Blue - Best Protection! by Christina Love

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent protection

My daughter's 4G iPod with minimal protection fell on her head and the glass shattered. I replaced it myself with parts from Revain for $20 and it worked again. However, he was never the same, so he sold it cheaply. Now that we had bought her a 5 gram iPod we needed some extra protection. This case has to be one of the best. It fully protects the iPod from every aspect, including falls. It consists of two parts. You place your iPod 5g in a two-piece inner plastic case that wraps around the iPod. You then slide this case into an outer silicone case that provides another layer of protection, as well as a screen protector that covers the screen and protects against scratches. The other silicone case also offers grip and some water resistance, but it's not waterproof. It also has a lanyard loop in the bottom corner for added security. I've read that others mention the screen protector issue. We don't experience it. This makes the touchscreen a little less sensitive, but that's not a big problem. We leave it enabled, although it would be easy to disable it if that were a problem. I think the screen protector is great. **************** September 2013 **************************** ** ** **ipod 5g has been dropped a few times with this case and has not received a scratch. It's expensive, but a new screen plus labor costs a lot more than $$$. A very good investment.

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • Embarrassing
