Review on πŸ“± Enhanced SEO: Purple Silicone Case with Detachable Holster Clip for iPod Nano 7 by rooCASE by Amy Meyer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Looks great, works great for 1 week - 3.

Looks great, works great for 1-3 weeks. Then the clip ends. As Steve Jobs said, "This is bullshit." I usually write reviews for products I like, but I just had to warn people about this rooCASE case. I sent it back once after it broke from 4 days of use thinking I just had a defective unit. Then I bought a new one and 3 weeks later it broke again and I was VERY careful as I wanted it to last a few years. I clip it to my training shorts when I bike, run, or lift weights. I turn it on and off about 5-6 times during a typical workout to switch songs, mute, etc. I've been using an old 6th gen Apple iPod Nano with a built in clip for about 4 years and ended up using it for about 4 years Drop 50 times. ran over his bike once, twice, dropped a load on him once, and he survived. Finally when the 6th gen battery died I decided to upgrade to the 7th gen nano battery and bought this case, it was a big mistake. More than money was the wasted time and hassle of bringing the dam back and then breaking it again! Damn! Please stop selling defective products. I have attached two photos. The first shows the first rooCASE I bought with a broken clip and metal bar attached to the main body. The second photo shows the second rooCASE with the same clip (supported by a soft inner case) which broke when the metal bracket ripped off. If you look closely at both pictures you will see that the plastic circles holding the metal rod are broken. The same kind of pause, twice. Other reviewers have documented this issue, but rooCASE could play with Revain's rating system a bit to keep the overall score high, but I'm not sure. My advice: try a strong clamp (without a hinge), they seem to be more durable. although they are not that comfortable. FYI: rooCASE is aware of the issue because I had to send them pictures of the broken clip to get a replacement (within 30 days). I hope my review was helpful!
