Digital camera reviews of DLO HipCase Leather Folio Case for iPod touch 1G, 2G, 3G (Black)
Digital camera Review: 1st Generation Only? Hmm
Summary: 1 Stars
Contrary to what the company describes what the case fits, this case is a very tight fit for the FIRST gen itouch and not built to suit the 2nd gen itouch as it does not allow access the volume buttons on the side.
I like the very slim design of the case, but honestly, this could have been built better.
Back to the drawing board and try again, DLo.
Digital camera Review: A perfect match for my iPod Touch
Summary: 5 Stars
Not much to say other than the case is a perfect match for my iPod Touch. Real smooth leather with a folding cover and inside pocket.
Highly recommended.
Digital camera Review: A smart case for the iPod touch
Summary: 5 Stars
A good product. Looks smart. Holds iPod Touch securely. Fold down front cover held down by small magnets on the bottom edge. These magnets are small but have done their job well. Stitching good quality. Front and back leather covers a stiffener which increases the protection from physical knocks. Clip on back is securely attached.Digital camera Review: A very good holder
Summary: 4 Stars
Ok, I bought this for my iPod Touch even before I had the unit (it was in transit). I don't LOVE it, but I am pretty happy with it. I like the protection it offers, the ease of use and the open face. I bought the screen protector sheets and placed one on the fron and one on the back and it still fit very nicely. It loses one star because it flips open VERY easily. That is a minor annoyance, but enough to take it off. I still recomend this product because I have not found anything better, and the pluses far outweigh the negative.Digital camera Review: Absolutely FANTASTIC case for iPod touch
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned a number of iPods, and many cases for them over the years, and I must say, this is one of the best I have ever had. I was mainly looking for a case with good clip for my iPod touch, that would adequately protect it, and be moderately low profile at the same time. I tried Contour Design's Showcase touch first. I found that it was a decent case, but the belt clip attached in such a way that within two weeks I was seriously doubting the integrity of the way the clip attached to the case, it wobbled around after a while, and was afraid that it would just fall off one day. It also scratched very, very easily, and after only two weeks of moderate use, was looking rather ragged. So I ordered this case...
The belt clip on this case feels very sturdy, it is made of metal covered with leather, and attached to the back of the case very securely. The only downside is that the clip is not removable, but it is fairly low profile, so it hasn't been a problem for me.
Aside from the clip, all other parts of the case seem to have very good build quality. None of the stitching is loose, and the iPod fits snugly inside. The flip cover is a nice way to protect the screen when not in use. The magnet the holds the cover in place when closed is *just right* in regards to strength. It keeps the cover in place when closed, and is easy enough to open when you need to use the iPod. The little pocket in the cover is a nice addition, but if you over-fill it, then the magnets can't hold the case closed, so bear that in mind.
As for protective-ness, the case should protect the iPod from most drops, since the case covers the screen pretty well when closed. However, some of the side of the iPod is exposed within the case, as well as some of the bottom (necessary to access ports!) and the bottom corners. This isn't really an issue though, as the case sticks out far enough beyond these edges to still provide protecting in case of a drop.
The case looks very nice, and even with the clip, is moderately low-profile. I didn't have any problem with a smell like some other reviewers did, mine just smelled mildly of leather, which is to be expected.
I highly recommend this case to any iPod touch owner who needs a stylish case that will provide a nice amount of protection, and a good belt clip so that their iPod is always handy when they need it! This case is a steal for the price Amazon is selling it for, so get one today!
