I've always heard of OtterBox as a choice for protecting my delicate glass encased device. For what it's worth; From this fan to a prospective customer: invest in an OtterBox; rest assured. What ever the device, OtterBox will be doing the protecting. And as far as replacing if necessary. ABSOLUTELY PAINLESS! I'm a lifer..
Pros: High quality, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

The build of the case is great and very protective. The recent case I received was a replacement for a defective case with a warped frame allowing debris to get underneath the screen protector... The new case I received didn't have this flaw, however... The screen protector isn't flush with the screen, making it extremely difficult to operate my device, I'm mostly happy with the case but unable to use it. I am back to using my original defective case. I wish Otterbox would just send a screen protector separately so I'd have to choice to pop out the built-in screen protector if need be and still be able to use the product fully.
Pros: Durable
Cons: defective screen protector
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used Otterbox for years; in 2009 I got a refurbished iPod 2 and used the defender case for that. For five years, the case saved the iPod from daily use -- protected the screen from scratches, the device from the occasional fall, and, most importantly, saved the device from the harsh environment of my back pocket.
Anyway, for five years that was the case. A few months ago, the case broke (but, the case did its job for five years: the iPod itself was fine), and I got a new iPod 5. Of course I ordered a new Defender case for it, because I knew how the last one had performed.
I have only had the case for about two weeks, but it seems to be another flawless addition to the protection of the device.
Way to be! I like the color options (I went with "Glacier," which looks very slick on the iPod). Years from now, when I decide to "Up" my iPod, I will look for a third Otterbox case.

It significantly increases the size and weight of the I-Touch. Additionally the on/off button and the app button are difficult to press. You have to press really hard to close an app or take a picture. Yuck!
Cons: makes the i-touch hard to use, blurry photos cause of hard to push button
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I ordered this case for my wife's 5th. Generation iPod Touch. The only complaint we have is that pressing the home button requires quite a bit more effort than before the case was installed. While this is no particular problem for me, my wife has a problem with it due to her arthritis. A work-around she uses is to open the part of the case (flap) that covers the home button. This seems to work fine and I feel that is does not detract significantly from the protection provided by the Otterbox. I would highly recommend the case.
Pros: High quality, Durable

Fine case, the only draw back is the protective screen cover, it creates a gap between the I pod and cover, which means you have to press harder for functions
Pros: Durable

Now I have it, I am very happy with it. It has a tight, firm surrounding and it comes with a screen cover. The holes for the earphone and charger are covered, when not in use. I have a iPod 5th Gen 332Gb and very happy about it. Thank You !
Pros: High quality, Durable, built-in screen cover

Ordered this for my 9 year old daughter's i-pod touch that she just got for Christmas. She wanted one of those "fancy cases" but I told her she needed the OtterBox if she wanted to use it with friends or take it out of the house. I have one for my i-phone, and I told her remember when I dropped my phone in the garage?? Nothing happened and that if her's breaks, she will pay for it out of her money. Needless to say the thing has been dropped twice already (once by one of her friends) and it's still here.
She agrees that it's the best case ever.
Pros: High quality, Durable
