 Great case with two drawbacks August 5, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've had this case for about two years, I think, and I'm very happy with it. With great skill, I've managed to accidentally knock my ipod off my desk many times, either by forgetting my headphones are on when I walk away, or by simply dropping it. The toughskin's traction makes it harder to drop, and it provides enough cushioning that the ipod has survived several falls without any damage. (Keep in mind that the rubber of the case makes getting it in and out of a tight pocket something of a challenge.)
There's only two drawbacks: first off, the rubber of the case will mark up the surface of the ipod. It's completely superficial, but if you plan on taking the ipod out of the case for a beauty show, you're not going to win. I ended up buying one of those stick-on decals that protect the surface of the ipod.
Second, the rubber stretches. Do NOT take your ipod out of the case (you're not winning any beauty shows) unless you really do need to, as the "mouth" around the screen will stretch out more and more.
All in all, a great case for people who favor safety over style. (Although the big mean industrial rubber look is a lot cooler than that crocheted sock thing your girlfriend puts her ipod in.)
 Lack of fit. July 26, 2008

Product is not as expected because it does not have a good fit (loose) on new generation classic ipods. It is built for old generation ones with bigger dimensions. Not entirely happy with it.

I purchased this for my grandson and he said it was to bulky. I thought it was great and would protect his IPod but he tried it and said to bulky.

I really like this case as it gives the ipod great protection and a "heft" the unit itself does not have. The ribbing makes the unit easy to hold. I haven't bounced my unit off the floor yet, but the case gives the impression that you could without negative effect. Maybe that's not a positive.
Nice protection June 20, 2008

I am glad I bought the ToughSkin. However, it does add a lot of weight to the iPod (7 oz total). It has an insert to fill in the space for an 80 GB iPod since is it smaller than a 160 GB iPod. The plastic insert to protect the screen is nice. The openings for the charger, headphones, and "hold" switch are large enough so that there is no problem with access, yet there is still enough protection for drops. The belt clip has a button that easily allows the unit to be removed from the clip. The control wheel is fully exposed so that nothing impedes use of the controls.
