OK. - Portable Audio & Video

I bought this case from Best Buy, not here, but I can say it protects your iPod well. But the bad thing is that it fits 30GB, 60GB and 80GB iPod. So to make it work properly you need to insert an extra piece of plastic to keep it from rattling when you have 30GB. It scratched my iPod and now it's ruined.

Pros
  • Free for Education
Cons
  • Lots of Things

Stand needs work

Offers good protection for the iPod but I bought it for the stand function to watch movies in flight. The stand slides out from the top and then folds down where the arms snap in the middle with slightly raised plastic tabs on each side. The problem is that the arms are too flimsy and need more pressure to keep them in place. Considering the weight of a 5.5 inch iPod (mine is 80g) it doesn't take much pressure on the iPod for the stand to fail and collapse. I had to use an elastic to give my…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Doesn't work for everything

Pretty cool iPod product

I purchased this item after getting my first iPod, iPod Video 80GB after realizing it was prone to scratches and fingerprints, smudges etc. I went to look for a leather bag but I happened to see it online and decided to check it out. I'm glad I did. This is a really good product that really protects the iPod from every angle, leaving only the scroll wheel, headphone jack, USB port, lock switch and screen exposed. At first I was disappointed that the screen wasn't protected, but I found that it…

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Quick guide

No screen protector and it will really scratch your iPod!

My biggest problem with this case is that there is almost NO protection on the screen. It comes with one of those flimsy anti-scratch stickers, but that's about it. No protection if you accidentally bump into the corner of the table or put it in your pocket along with your keys. The casing around the rest of the iPod is solid, I just wish they could slide out to cover the screen. Nice feature, but you have to open the back of the case to leave your iPod open, and you have to disconnect and then

Pros
  • Ease of Use
Cons
  • Frequency

Smart iPod protection

I don't understand why other people get scratches on their iPods from this case. Unless there was some manufacturing defect in the particular case they purchased, I can't figure it out. Designed to fit both the smaller 30GB iPod AAC/MP3 Video Player Black (Gen 5.5) and the 80GB iPod classic (Black), this case features a removable plastic insert that allows for tidy housing of the 30th GB is required . . Had this part not been removed before someone attempted to install a larger iPod, I would…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some little things

Great case. If only he had stayed unharmed.

I have mixed feelings about this case because it has some very positive aspects but also some negative aspects. Let's start with the positive things. The case is made of durable plastic that protects my 30GB iPod very well. I haven't had any scratching issues on my iPod as other reviewers have noted, even with the insert added. The openings for the locking switch, headphones and jack on the underside are generously sized and offer enough space to be able to access them if necessary. The…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write later
