Ridiculously over-engineered? Or the perfect case for your iPod touch no matter where you're headed?. We think it's a little bit of both. Simply put, the Griffin Survivor Case is the most protective case we've ever built. Tested and certified to meet or exceed US Department of Defense Standard 810F and UK Department of Defense Standard 00-35, Griffin's Survivor Extreme-Duty Case is designed from the inside out to protect your iPod touch from extreme conditions ... dirt, sand, rain, shock, vibration and a host of other environmental factors. Survivor is built on a shatter-resistant polycarbonate frame clad in rugged, shock-absorbing silicone. A built-in screen protector seals your Multi-Touch display from the outside environment, and hinged plugs seal the dock connector, camera lens, headphone port, hold switch and volume controls. A detachable heavy-duty clip secures your iPod touch to a belt or bag strap. Survivor is independently tested and verified to meet or exceed environmental testing standards for blown rain, blown dust and grit, vibration, shock, temperature and humidity. Compatible with iPod touch 5th and 6th generation.
Purchased case for my nine yr old son's iPod since well he is a boy. I wanted a sturdy case to protect against drops etc... The case provides great protection and is not terribly bulky.
Problem for us is that none of the lightening to 30 pin adaptors will connect to the ipod due to the case opening. The regular lightening pin charger cord will attach, but we need adaptors to use speakers etc.... purchased for previous generation iPod. This is something to consider if you will be using your ipod with auxillary speakers etc...
Headphones connect fine. Test out the case before purchasing. It is not the most expensive but it is not cheap either.
What's great about it: sturdiness, screen protector built in to case
What's not so great: Unable to connect ipod to some devices without removing from case
