There are way fewer cases for iPod Touches on the market than for iPhones, so my choice was limited. I chose an Otterbox case because it was recommended by a friend. I have 3 observations: 1. Very slow delivery -- 9 days. I could have driven from the West Coast (US) to Colorado, picked it up, and driven back home, and still have had a 3-day weekend. 2. The On switch at top right needs to be pushed quite hard and just right to turn the iPod on. Hope this improves with use. 3. The wrist strap is a wonderful feature. I don't plan on dropping my iPod, but if I am using the wrist strap, it won't hit the ground. The wrist strap could also loop around a belt and still be put in a pocket.
I purchased this case out of necessity: I broke my iPod Touch and had it fixed, and was determined to not break it again. So, I bought an Otterbox. So far, It's been AMAZING! I fits perfectly and works seamlessly with the touchscreen.
This case is fantastic - the screen doesn't impede interacting with the touch screen of the ipod, and the case is sturdy. My only gripe was the instructions - they were basically terrible and did NOT help me. I had to youtube a video that showed me how to do it. It has two silicone caps for the charging port and headphones plug in - that's the easiest way to pop the silicone free of the case! It's also useful in general.
The case was easy to install on my Ipod and all of the Ipod functions work easy and great through the case. The case is not bulky. The only thing I would like to see on the case would be a removable clip.
Needed a good case for my new ipod, and after a lot of looking at different brands Otterbox came out on top. It is a solid three piece case that doesn’t attach pieces permanently to my ipod, nor does it add an excessive amount of bulk so I can still use the slim pockets on my older jackets and bags. It is getting hard to find cases for an ipod, so I truly appreciate Otterbox making a worth while one.
I love how protective this case is, but wish the lanyard locked in place. It doesn't make sense to secure something on my wrist then it slides right out of place.
