Digital camera reviews of iSkin eVo3 Eclipse Upgraded Athletic Protective Case for iPod with Video 30GB w/ Belt Clip
Digital camera Review: Works great
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this product for about almost two years and its protected my ipod from many, many drops, and sand, dirt etc... Please note that it's not waterprrof so walk on the shore at your own risk. The turn wheel works perfectly though the skin. I've never had a problem with the sensitivities as other ipod cases do. The reason I've rated is 4 stars instead of 5 is that after two years of use the belt clip has broken free of the case so I need a new one. Digital camera Review: 4.5 stars
Summary: 4 Stars
This is probably the best iPod case that I have owned. By far, the most intelligent design is the belt clip itself which features a rather clever plastic locking mechanism that is easy to lock/unlock yet rugged enough to stand up to day-to-day use.
The case itself is made of thick silicone, but with pores on the back of the iPod for heat dissipation. While I can't comment on whether or not the pores actually work to the degree as advertised, I do have to admit that it's a testament to the designers who clearly understand the operational characteristics of the iPod itself; having an iPod overheat is NOT a good thing for the unit and the battery.
The screen protector is probably the best fit that I have ever seen in a case which utilizes a built-in silicone lip on the case itself and uses a raised silicone nub to keep it from sliding around. It's scratch resistant, so I'm hoping that it will have a longer life then the Belkin case that I had which experienced a scratch on day one.
Only 2 minor complaints:
1. The entire case covers the iPod (except for the small pores on the back) including a flap that covers the docking port. The iSkin website advertises that it can fit in the Apple Universal dock. This is true, but I found that it works only if you remove the 5th generation template (in the universal dock) for the 80 GB iPod AND if you tuck the sleeve back into the case. IT STILL WORKS, but I was hoping that it would be a little easier than this.
2. The hold button is completely covered. It is still usable as there is a raised protrusion for using the hold button, but it's a little finicky at first. Once you get the hang of placing the right pressure through the silicone, it's fairly easy to use it from that point forward.
All in all, a good case with some minor issues. I would highly recommend it.
Digital camera Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product protects the ipod better than any case i have seen i would recommend this product to anyone that has an ipod. Digital camera Review: Great case, but has a few tears after one year
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had an evo3 case for my 30GB iPod for a little over a year now, and despite my extremely gentle treatment of the iPod, the case has developed some tears. It has a hole in the thin silicone over the hold button, which tore the one and only time I used the hold switch. The flap for covering the plug at the bottom of the ipod has also begun tearing at both sides of its edges. Also, some dirt has managed to get in under the clickwheel and screen plastic, but it is minimal.
I'll probably end up replacing the case with yet another evo3, however, since the case is fantastic otherwise. I even like the clip and use it regularly!
Digital camera Review: Best Ipod Cover, by far!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the fourth IPOD cover I've tried and is by far the best. Fits very snugly, which keeps the overall size about the same. The screen cover is tough yet very clear, actually looks better through the cover hen without. Easy to use the circle buttons through the cover. Only complaint is it's hard to click the hold switch over, but with the cover on you probably won't get as many accidental button pushes. Highly reccomended.
