Review on Speck Products SPK A0127 PixelSkin Silicone by Jenny Davis

Rubberized Speck PixelSkin Case for iPod Touch 4G (Black) is a nice thick silicone case that protects your iPod Touch well. It omits the extra silicon strap that some cases have over the home button to improve stability. But it has a thicker edge that compensates for this by providing a more secure fit and more drop protection. And the case is highly functional, with a more textured finish than most alternatives and holes to allow access to all controls. BENEFITS: ++ Good fit and protection for your iPod Touch ++ Thicker corners and side edges than alternatives ++ Thick textured surface is among the most comfortable to grip ++ Designed for easy access to all ports and controls ++ 3 color options ( Black , purple, and teal) CONS: - Thicker silicone is bulkier than alternatives - No additional silicone strip above the home button forming the underside of the disk at the front edge -- No screen protector included (included in some cases) -- Fewer color options than alternatives -- Poor value given the high list price and cheaper/thinner alternatives ALTERNATIVES Belkin Essential 023 Silicone Case for Apple iPod Touch 4G (2 Pack) - Golden Garden/Fountain Blue includes 2 cases in each set for around the price of a PixelSkin. Multiple color options are available, e.g. B. Belkin Essential 023 Silicone Case for iPod Touch 4G - 2 Pack (Zipper Purple/Paparazzi Pink) and Belkin Essential 023 Silicone Case for iPod Touch 4G - 2 Pack (Black/White/Civil Blue). This may be of value to those who love these colors or appreciate the ability to change cases from day to day. Belkin Essentials feel loose and slim compared to PixelSkin which offers a much better fit, protection and functionality. Belkin cases are designed for people who are willing to compromise on protection and don't want to bulk up their iPod. CONCLUSION Compared to most silicone cases, the PixelSkin offers excellent fit and protection. While not as good as the alternatives, it is commercially available. If you're looking for a case that protects your iPod from drops while you're on the go, this is one of the best options. Enjoy.
