Enhanced protection where and when you need it.. Survivor Slim gives you and your iPod touch protection enough to pass military-standard tests, yet it's slim enough to go with you everywhere.We paired a super-protective polycarbonate shell with tough, resilient silicone. We added a touch-through protective film for your touchscreen, and silicone covers for the controls and Home button. The result is Survivor Slim: full-time shock/drop/vibration protection for your iPod touch that you never have to think about, in a slim, pocketable profile.Compatible with iPod touch 5th and 6th generation.
Perused all of the cases for the gen 5 iPod Touch and settled on this one because it's simple, sleek and sturdy. Also boasted that it could protect my iPod in a 6-foot drop! The case also looks good and adds a slight curve to the otherwise very boxy iPod.
It's great that it comes with a screen protector, or else you'd have to buy it separately. At the price, though, it covers purchasing a cheaper case and the screen protector separately, so you're not saving any money here.
Although the case does protect my iPod well, it's very restrictive. I like to plug an AUX cable into my iPod so the music can play through the stereo system. This case only allows enough space to plug in the streamlined iPod headphone jack, but nothing as big (!!) as an AUX cable. So if I want to plug my iPod into a stereo system, I have to remove the two-piece case first, and that's a bit of a struggle.
With an ultrathin design, a larger, 4-inch Retina display, a 5-megapixel iSight camera, Bluetooth 4.0, iTunes and the App Store, Siri, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and more—it's the most fun iPod touch ever.
I didn't want to buy a new iPod, but my old one didn't leave me much choice. Apple had slowly phased out support for my old iPod. No more OS updates. No app updates. I was left out in the cold, even though the iPod was still perfectly functional.
Upgraded to this, and what a big difference! The processing power is great, so everything is very fast and responsive. The music still sounds great, but now I can take pictures and video. I used to say that the iPod can do everything but make phone calls, but there are now apps for that too!
I was reluctant to upgrade, but I have to admit it was worth it. It's a pricey music player, but it's a great one.
I'm not looking forward to Apple slowly phasing out this iPod from support, but I guess that's what you get when you purchase an Apple product.
