IiPOD Carry Case |
| Opposed to the other reviews, I like this product. It looks good and rather than causing scratch has actually prevented scratches from taking place. This product has a more chic look than the neoprene competitors on the market. Would definitely purchase one again if lost. |

This clip caused my iPod to fall into a toilet!! |
| It's true. The first time I took my iPod 60 Gig out on my belt, I was at a restaurant and used the bathroom. As I unzipped my pants, the Carrying Case -- with my iPod in it came right off my jeans and fell into the toilet. Apple should be ashamed of themselves for making this thing. The design of the clip can not hold the weight of the iPod. And, like another one on this site said, yes, it does scratch the silver back and screen portion of your iPod. Apple executives have been known for their innovative design -- however this is not one of them. Instead, XtremeMac makes a plastic belt clip device that does not scratch your iPod in any way and stays on your pants no matter what. |

I have two of these but never used them! |
I got this case as part of my iPod 40GB (3G) and iPod Photo 60GB - but never really used them since there is no point in having a case that prohibits you from using the controls. Looking at a product like this one, as well as the iPod dock, I am made to think that the creators of iPod assumed that users would use them un-adorned (I mean, without a case)... What else explains the fact that the much-hyped dock becomes unusable when the iPod is in a case - so does the iPod when it is put into this Apple product?
Interestingly, this case - along with a wired remote - used to come free with 3G iPods. But that stopped with the 4G iPods which also saw a decrease in iPod's price. The carrying case shipped free along with iPod photo 40GB and iPod photo 60GB, until 23 Feb 2005 when Apple announced a major upgrade to the iPod line-up.
Since this case hugs the iPod tightly, it is quite possible that the sensitive and shiny iPod surface gets scratched or dirty with fingerprints. In fact, for this very reason that I never used my twin cases.
As another reviewer has rightly pointed out, you could still use this case if you put all your songs in a single playlist and use the wired remote to control the iPod - probably while jogging with the iPod tucked into your belt. Probably that is a thin minority of users.
I personally prefer a case where the iPod stays put while exposing the controls. You may want to see my other reviews for more details.
Recommended only if you don't mind the scratches and finger prints on your iPod. Also, note that you might want to buy a wired remote to control the iPod to make better use of this case. |
