Digital camera reviews of Speck ToughSkin Rubberized Case with Belt Clip for 80/120/160 GB iPod classic 6G (Black)
Digital camera Review: Fantastic case
Summary: 5 Stars
This case is wonderful. It protects the iPod very nicely, and it was easy to put the iPod inside it. The screen protector is great and I like having unimpeded access to the clickwheel. This should be the first choice of anybody looking for a reliable iPod case.Digital camera Review: Fits 7G iPod as well
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this, hoping that it would fit my brand new 7G 160GB iPod. It does. Apparently the iPod is a little thinner than the previous 160GB, requiring a rubber shim (included) in the back of the case. To my mind this is a good thing, since it gives the iPod a little more cushioning. Some may complain about the bulk, but it's no larger than my old 60GB in its case. It will still fit easily in a pocket.
Protection looks good. The screen protector has a little gasket to keep it from scratching the screen. We'll see how that works over time, but it appears to stay in position without slipping around. I have no trouble operating the click wheel either. The belt clip has a sturdy spring along with a quick-release button.
Like most other cases on the market, you'll have to remove this one if you intend to use the iPod in a dock. Not a problem for me, but it might be for others. My need was for a tough case that would allow me to operate the iPod without having to open a front cover. So far, so good.
Update, Aug 27, 2010: I finally got the test I'd dreaded as my iPod hit the floor. It fell about three feet onto industrial carpet (concrete 1/4" beneath) and then took a bounce. After uttering some unpleasant language, I took the iPod home and ran a number of tests (including a full surface check with TechTool Pro). No errors and so far, no misbehavior. A fall like that can crack a circuit board, which will typically manifest itself in intermittent errors. That may turn up over time, but at this point my faith in this case has been strengthened and I'm raising my rating from 4 stars to 5.
Digital camera Review: Fits The Bill
Summary: 5 Stars
I admit, I'm pretty clumsy. I wanted something that would be both functional and attractive. I looked at a few items at the Apple store, and did some searching online. I wasn't terribly impressed until I found the Speck ToughSkin. This case is perfect. The rubber is neither too thin, nor too thick, and provides just the right amount of cushion for an unanticipated fall. More importantly, I can access the jog wheel easily, and I can remove the silly belt clip for easy carrying in my jacket pocket.Digital camera Review: Fits like a glove
Summary: 5 Stars
Not trying to drop my Ipod but feel that if I did this protective case would minimize the shock...Looks stylish too!Digital camera Review: Go with what I know
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this ipod case from The Apple Store years ago for no less than 40 dollars. Granted it has been a long time, but this case is so much cheaper now. It's durable and lasted the longest of any of my cases. If you buy it, just try not to take it out of the case too much. It wears on the rubber. The plastic display cover has saved my ipod's screen 1 too many times. A good buy, if you don't mind the bulkiness... and in order to not mind bulky, one must remember the days of CD players and Radio/cassette players.
