A Different Kind Of Case...,
March 3, 2009 G. Anderson (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DLO SoftShell Case for iPod touch 2G, 3G (Metallic) (Electronics)
After a really bad experience with an Incipio Dermashot silicone case (see my review of that product) that was resolved by some outstanding customer service from Amazon, I found myself in the market for a new case to protect my 32 GB iPod Touch.
Not wanting to go down the silicone road again (though I'm sure there are some good products) and not wanting the bulk of a 2 piece hard shell plastic type case, I stumbled upon this Softshell product from DLO.
It really is kind of a hybrid offering a compromise between the benefits of both hard and soft cases. The material is soft and pliable without being rubbery yet has enough "give" to provide a good degree of shock absorption (unlike polycarbonate). It also has a smooth but slightly tacky texture that feels good in hand and doesn't slide around on desktop or car center console but slides in and out of pocket like a dream (unlike silicone).
The package comes with the case and a single screen protector film...Read more

Good protection for a reasonable price,

I purchased this case the same day I purchased my iPod Touch 2G. When I opened the iPod it immediately was put in the case. It comes with two screen protectors. I would recommend wiping the front of the iPod Touch clean before putting the screen protector on, then putting the back of the case on. The clear case fits perfectly but still shows the attractiveness of the iPod Touch. The only open areas are the home button on the front and the bottom where the iPod docks and the ear phones plug in. I am able to use my iPod boom box, earphones and charging cord without difficulty.
The only thing I noticed is that the dock adapter that Apple gives you to place in boom boxes, etc. no longer fits the bottom of the iPod Touch when you have the case on it, but it's only a minor quibble. This would occur with any case that you would put on the iPod Touch, unless you remove it. I just place the iPod Touch on my boom box without the dock adapter and it works fine.

The Best but still Not Perfect,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: DLO SoftShell Case for iPod touch 2G, 3G (Metallic) (Electronics)
Ordered this DLO cover and shield in advance of the purchase of an iPod Touch 2G because of the sensitivity of the stainless back. Like the diamond shaped pattern on the back of the cover. Fits the iPod snugly like a glove. The softshell cover actually turned out to be translucent brownish grey as opposed to clear white in the picture. It has a hint of metallic shimmer and blends well with the iPod. One downside is that the softshell cover muffles the already weak speaker located on the iPod back.
The included screen protector does not interfere at all with the functionality of the touch screen. It does not affect the sharpness of the display either. There is no installation instruction. However, having installed a few of these before, I intuitively figured out what to do. It is not anti-glare but seems to reduce finger prints on the screen that would otherwise be significant. There are a couple of small bubbles left underneath no matter how hard I tried to squeeze...Read more
