iSkin Silicone Case for iPod touch 2G, 3G (Black)

Iskin products are always pricy and in my experience are often the sturdiest protective cases for Ipods. Be forewarned though that my one attempted warranty claim for an iSkin product (belt clip broke on an old 5G case) was never acknowledged by the company despite a phone message and many emails. Basically buy this case for the design and materials quality, not the warranty. Having never made any other Ipod case warranty claims, I can't say if this bad service is customary in the industry or not.

Anyway, besides the questionable warranty, the Ipod Touch 2G Duo case has another issue. Iskin like many other Touch case mfgrs gives you a thin plastic screen to apply to your Touch screen so you can use the touch function without leaving prints or scratches on the screen. Also like most other manufacturers, Iskin gives you exactly one chance to install the film correctly. You need to clean the screen and then precisely apply the film while using a credit card to smooth out...Read more

I went to Best Buy, Circuit City and looked every where online but didn't see any cases that looked like they would do the job but then I found this case! This case is seriously the best case out there. I absolutely love it! It fits my iPod touch perfectly. The thing I like the most about the case is the silicon texture. When I first got my iPod it felt really slippery, I think maybe the oils in your hand and the chrome back made it that way, at least for me it did but now the case makes it a lot easier to handle. At first I was iffy about the hard plastic screen cover but now I think it's a pretty good feature if ur not gonna use ur iPod or iPhone for awhile. The cover for the docking connection is really cool too, makes it so u don't have to take the case off to dock. If I have any negative comments about this case it's this, the case fits perfect around the whole iPod, virtually almost airtight so no dirt can get in between the iPod and case but when u put the hard plastic...Read more

I purchased an iSkin case after having a wonderful ~6 year experience with an iSkin case for my ipod nano (and still going).

This case is bulky and has a removable shield for the screen to move in front when not in use and behind the ipod (kind-of) when being used.
If I choose not to use the movable cover then the case just looks strange and feels wierd in my hand as one of the side tabs used to hold the cover digs into my hand when I palm it horizontally. When I use my hand my fingers fall into the area for the screen cover as well. All in all this case is proving to be an awkward experience for me.

I am giving it 5 stars at being able to protect the ipod touch with how thick the skin is at least in the front for the glass, but ease of use and aesthetics based on what I am used to with iSkin was far less then what I have come to expect from this company.
