Great Warranty. No problem when minor complaint was filed. No slippery case. Would purchase another if needed in future for another item.
Pros: High quality, Durable, nice design
I would recommend this to a friend!

This case stands up to quite a bit of abuse. I tend to be rough on things, so I thought a durable case would be in order for my iPod Touch. The case for the Touch 5 is even better than the Defender case for the Touch 4 as it has separate rubber seal flaps for the charger cord and the headphone cord.
It is NOT waterproof, which is why I went from the Touch 4 to the Touch 5. I keep my new Touch in a plastic zip seal freezer bag to help waterproof it.
Overall, when I took my damp Touch 4 to my computer consultant, he was impressed, saying, "she's even got an OtterBox!" despite the fact that I was bringing it to him because it got wet.
(He let it air dry out for a weekend, and it should be fine for about a year.)

I was thrilled to find protection for my IPod 5th generation. I tried to buy it locally at malls, stores, etc. to no avail. I found it in the Otterbox site and bought online. It is a great sturdy that has already lived to its expectations. The only rock in my shoe is that the buttons are a little stiff and unresponsive, but given the protection it provides, I'm happy with it.
Pros: High quality, Durable, nice appearance
Cons: button design
I would recommend this to a friend!

The case is very slim and protects the iPod. My daughter is 9 and she loves the navy and lime green colors together.
Pros: High quality, Durable, slim

Initial one developed a crack at the lower left corner of the screen. Customer support was great and sent a new one after I provided a picture. They get high marks for that, but the replacement one cracked at the exact same place several weeks later. I just glued it myself this time as it is obviously a design/manufacturing flaw.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Unneeded Additional hole
I purchased 4 Defender cases for 4 iPod Touch 5th gen. Two were great. The other 2 had additional holes on top for an unneeded port. Customer Service is aware of the issue and has been gracious. They are to contact their distribution center to see if they have been mislabeled.

This was the first case I got for my I Pod Touch 5th generation. It works the best! The Otter Box Defender Series is a great case. It has drop, shock, dirt, and other great protections! The only downside to this case is that there is a tiny gap between the screen protector and the outer case itself. At first this was really complicated. Trying to use the touch screen was very difficult at first. But after a while, I didn't have any problems. (That was because I was pressing down a little harder to get it to work.) The trick is that when you use it, you have to press a little harder to get it to work. The other parts of the case like the button coverings are a little hard to press sometimes. On one of the reviews I read, the button coverings (like the home button might come off) will come off if you don't go easy on it. Like don't pull back the charger covering or else it will eventually snap off! There is also one more thing about the button coverings. On the power button, it is a little difficult to hold down to power off. Other then that, everything else is perfect beyond compare!
Pros: High quality, Durable, has twice the protection
Cons: the power button is hard to hold
