Apple Soft Nylon Carrying Case and Belt Clip for 20 GB iPod 4G (Black)

 (20 customer reviews)

I use this case primarily for transporting the iPod because when I'm listening to the iPod, I typically just place it in my shirt pocket by itself. I didn't want a case that is made to stay on the iPod full time-they add too much bulk, seal in too much heat, and often look weird, covering up the beautiful design of the iPod itself. I much prefer the ability to easily slip the iPod in and out of a case, which is why I recommend this slipcase. You do need something to put the iPod in when transporting it even if you are like me and actually prefer no case. I really wouldn't want to throw my iPod loose by itself into my backpack or car seat or drawer or whatever without any protection.

I like the fact that the top of this case is open because that means you don't have to unplug the headphones as often. Sometimes, I clip the case belt clip to my inside jacket pocket and I have a fairly secure place to put the iPod when I'm listening to it. I've also clipped it to the car sun...Read more

I thought the iPod carrying case looked great and I was happy with it however about a week later I saw marks on my iPod and returned it for a full refund. The case left scratch marks on the side of my iPod and marks on the side of the screen! It's true what my friends said about it ... "the case is not worth the price" ... but I had to see for myself. I guess you can say I learned the hard way. But the bright side was they forced me to get a iskin exo from iskin.com. BOY was I sooooo excited when I received it a few days later and it's great!!! There's different color cases and even glow in the dark cases as well! It's hard to describe it in words you just have to see for it yourself. It's way better than the iPod carrying case in that it's cheaper and has a soft touch when it wraps around your iPod and will not leave a scratch!

When I first reviewed this product, I entitled it "39.99 for this??" OK- They lowered the price to $28.99. That's still too high!!

The following is the original review in its entirety:

The case holds the iPod snugly, so you can run, bike, etc without worrying about it slipping out of the case. After I opened the packaging, and saw the goods, I was shocked at the price. I guess they feel the higher price is justified because it has an Apple logo on the internal tag. The price point on this should be about $11.99. Not worth the money.
