excellent for extending battery life October 13, 2008
This product is really great for extending the battery life of the ipod. I use my ipod for recording my lectures in university, which drains the battery fairly quickly. With this case and battery, after I record a 1.5 hour lecture, I plug my ipod back into it, go across campus to my next class (which is about 10 minutes away) and the ipod is not fully charged, but it's ready to go again for another 1.5 hour lecture recording.
I can use the battery this way for a few days before having to recharge it, which is great because I always forget to charge my electronics anyway.
I love the flexibility this extra battery life offers, for video watching, listening to movies, playing games, or recording lectures!
I have only a few small issues with the case:
The pass-through plug at the bottom, which is used for syncing the ipod as well as charging the case and the ipod, does not support my iTalk microphone. It appears to work, like I can start recording a lecture, but the microphone picks nothing up. This forces me to be taking my ipod out every lecture, and plugging it back into the case and battery between lectures.
The silicone is a little thick for the click-wheel and it takes several tries to get it to work.
 Awesome, with a few inconveniences. December 18, 2007
Other than being huge, it's an awesome device. But I kind of expected it to be larger than hoped, after all, it IS an external battery.
Also, the rubber over the button lock has ripped. I wouldn't recommend using the lock if you have this case, because it takes a fingernail to slide the lock over, and using a fingernail slices the rubber after a while of use.
I don't use it as my day-to-day case, I only use it when I need additional battery. Because of me not using it every second I use my iPod, it's held up very nicely. If you do insist on using it all the time, I would suggest buying one of those clear sticky screen protectors to protect the screen, since this case does not. I did that, and have no complaints. I got mine from Belkin for fairly cheap.
Overall, I recommend this iLuv for those frequent flyers, travellers, or hikers who really need a huge upgrade in battery life. It's a great item!! I haven't found anything better.

I bought the battery so I could watch movies on a couple of long trans-pacific flights. It was very easy to set up. I charged the iPod fully and then charged the battery fully. Then I put the two together and got about 12 hours of movie time plus several hours left over for listening to music. The experience made me think about getting a video player with a larger screen (not the new iPod--it has too little memory).
I now take the battery on all of my longer business trips and enjoy watching the movies of my choice without worrying about running out of power. Just a note to others who may be interested: I used AnyDVD and CloneDVDmobile to copy my DVDs into iPod format. The software worked flawlessly and was quicker and easier than I expected it would be.
Bigger is better! April 28, 2007

This will make your iPod longer and slighty thicker, and it gives the iPod kind of a "bricky" feel. But when you need long battery life (up to 55 hours?!), I doubt you will care. The skin fits really well and will protect your player very nicely too. Overall, this is an outstanding product.
