Digital camera reviews of Belkin 2-Pack Silicone Sleeve Case for iPod touch 2G, 3G (Black/Blue)
Digital camera Review: Good Cover
Summary: 5 Stars
These are great for protecting your ipod and very easy to pull off and on in a flash.
It fits on my 3rd Gen ipod touch with no problems.
Digital camera Review: Good Cover
Summary: 4 Stars
Very good cover for the price for my 32GB 2nd generation ipod touch. Fits perfectly. My only complaint if that the surface is a little more slippery than other silicone covers I've had for past ipods. By this I mean that it is more prone to slide on a smooth surface than a more "rubbery" cover that grips better. Not a big deal though.Digital camera Review: Good Value

I'll keep this review short and sweet. This is a great value. Two cases for the price of one. Good protection, nice fit. If you use the invisible shield, you can still use this case. There is a major downside I have with this case though. It messed up the power buttion on my iPod Touch. If you look at the pictures, the case covers the power button along with the volume buttons. Even though thats a good idea, now my button is stuck in (jammed) and it's not coming out. This really sucks because I wont be able to manually reset the iPod anymore with the power/home button push and hold. I've now moved on to the iPod Touch 4g and have passed that iPod down to my sister. For my new case I just bought, I made sure the power and volume buttons weren't covered!Digital camera Review: Good cases, good price
Summary: 5 Stars
It fits the iPod Touch 2g perfectly, with no excess but no feeling of it strangling the device either. The feel of the device in hand is perfect - nice amount of grip and much more than the iPod without a case, but not as much as many cases. In my opinion, it feels better with the case on - it's softer, plus the 2g is just too thin to be comfortable in the hand without a case. However, it doesn't add much bulk - it brings it from the spec 8.5mm to (by my measurement) 11.2mm, both at the thickest point.
I have the black/blue package. The black is what you would expect, and the blue is quite pleasant - I could tell you that it's just like the picture, but with monitor color profiles being what they are that would be completely meaningless. It's a nice color, however, and that's about the most precise description I can give. The blue is slightly translucent - the wifi antenna area shows through a tiny bit in direct light, but most of the time it looks solid.
The buttons work fine through the case - slightly harder to press, but not bad. I have nothing to dock the iPod with beyond the PC through the included cable, so I can't say whether you will have to take this off when using it with a stereo or other accessory.
Overall I would recommend it for those looking for protection from everything but high drops. Please note that there is no screen protector in the package. Add a third party screen protector and you have pretty good protection all around.
Digital camera Review: Good for everyday but lacking in hard life protection
Summary: 1 Stars
This sleeve was my first purchase for my new Ipod touch. The sleeves work marginally well for the everyday users that only want to keep it scratch free while walking from the flat to the coffee shop. That's a nice dream but my job involves a lot of traveling, most of that out in the desert where my primary concern is who's shooting at me rather than how my Ipod is doing. I found that too often the edges wanted to slip off and eventually pulled the entire case off if it went unnoticed. I would also bet that the micrometer of rubber around the edge is probably not enough to protect the unit from any sort of significant impact.
Now, I understand the prudent thing to do would be leave it locked back in my tough tote but I take my Ipod with me because it has several key features that I utilize everyday and its a useful tool to balance an already overwhelming amount of information (as well as being a good distraction - there's always time for another episode of Dirty Jobs).
For individuals that are in a similar situation to mine, here's what I did and found useful. Either purchase an Otterbox or the Oakley Iphone rubber armor casing. Combined with my full size Iluv rubber sleeve which extends all the way to the edges of the screen and screen scratch protector, and the Oakley case the device itself is nearly indestructible and the rubber on rubber contact ensure no slippage and increased shock/dust/sand protection.
