Brushed-metal details add to a great look. View larger. | The Remix Metal for iPod classic by Belkin is a hard case made of clear acrylic with black-toned brushed-metal detail that maintains the good looks of the iPod classic while providing maximum protection against scratches and scuffs. A snug fit means the iPod won't jostle when inside the case, and with a very slim profile, it won't take up too much room in your pocket or purse. The clear acrylic atop the screen keeps it fully visible for menu navigation as well as photo and video viewing. With the revolutionary true-sense click-wheel protection, you still retain full control of the click-wheel, so navigating the iPod's menus is a breeze. All ports and the dock connector are fully accessible, so you never need to take the iPod out of the case. If you do need to take out the iPod, however, it's a cinch--the case easily pops open in an instant. The Belkin Remix Metal for iPod classic is backed by Belkin's Lifetime Warranty.

Does the job and looks good doing it September 5, 2008

After I lost my ipod pouch, I had to get another way to protect my ipod while *not* listening to it...keys and coins aren't the greatest thing for an ipod screen.
I settled on this Belkin case because it looked pretty good and seemed to offer protection from scratches. When I first got it, I freaked out a little because my 160gb ipod didn't fit. But not to worry, they ship with two back plates, one that fits the 80gb and one that fits the 160gb.
So the good points are: it does its job of protecting the ipod and it's appealing. It is also easy to open/close, in case you want your ipod out.
The negatives: the audio jack opening is a circle a little larger than the size of the headphone interface. While this isn't usually a problem, my car's audio jack cord has a large diameter headphone interface, so it can't seat all the way in. Not a huge problem, since not many headphone jacks are that big.
Another con is the click wheel protection. While I appreciate it and it does still allow click wheel function, some sensitivity is lost. Sometimes the wheel doesn't respond so well to my movements, so I have to spin my fingers around and around the wheel. But it still works, so no big deal.
 Not METAL!!!! August 20, 2008
Item description: "Belkin Remix Metal Case for iPod Classic 6G"
BUT IT'S PLASTIC, NOT METAL!!!! I was specifically looking for a metal case, but this is all plastic!!! Had I read the Amazon description more carefully, I would have seen "Clear acrylic case with brushed metal detail", but come on, "Metal Case" is false advertising!
 Might have to Macgyver it up August 14, 2008

This is a good solid case that gives me the feeling that I could hit my Ipod fairly hard with twigs, NERF bats and other solid but nonlethal bludgeoning tools. Scraping objects would pose no threat to the device: I am a saucepan user, and so my house contains clumps of steel wool whose location I keep less than constant track of. My Ipod has nothing to fear from these rogue abraders.
My readiest complaint regards the thin film of rubbery plastic over the scroll wheel. The material does not adhere snugly to the device's surface, and is a poor tactile conductor. I find I cannot move my thumb lightly over the wheel as I might a lover's palm; I have instead to roll the digit clumsily about the touch wheel, making me feel like a shifty-eyed criminal undergoing fingerprint registration. Even then, the player is loathe to accept my commands. I may have to simply remove the insulative membrane, hoping that any dogs that attempt to steal my Ipod grip it by the better-protected screen end.

I love Belkin products not only because they tend to look real good but functionally they are great products.
The Remix case for the iPod Classic is what it claims to be: A classy form-fitting hard case for your iPod! It really doesn't get simpler than that! Keeps your iPod safe from nicks, scratches, bumps AND fingerprints. Plus you still have access to all your switches, buttons & jacks. It even has a protective cover over the scroll wheel. How the scroll-wheel can still sense your fingers I have no idea but it works. Initially I couldn't get it to work but I tried lighter circular movements and got the hang of it.
Note: you actually get 1 & a half cases with this product because it consists of the front face plate & a back tray for the 80GB AND a back tray for the 160GB (it being slightly fatter).
I think Belkin is releasing more designs and colors so it will be great to see more of these.
One comment: Although I have no complaints about Amazon's price for this product, I wonder if if would become even cheaper if Belkin sold the 80GB tray separately from the 160GB tray? In any case, this is a great product for people who like form-fitting cases for their iPod.
Best Price for the Protection your iPod needs... June 24, 2008

Even though it says metal case, it is part metal(front) and part plastic(back). However, it's a sleek protection that will protect both your screen and key-pad to the fullest. At the same time, all the plug-ins are fully accessible, even with those accessories without taking the case off. I've used Sony iPod Speaker and Radio system with this case...I couldn't believe when the iPod with case just slide into small grove of that system......Cons: Not for Walking, Jogging, or Running, since case does not have any support for bands or clips. So I would not suggest for athletes or Gym-goers.
Oh, Back plastic cover comes with spare one...so I guess don't worry about breaking it, you at least got an extra one.
I would suggest buying it for it's sleek and smooth look with best protection I have ever seen for any iPod.
