Griffin iClear Hard-Shell Case for iPod touch 1G (Clear)

This is a great product. Although the screen protector it comes with has a nice peel off back before install, then peel off front after install, I became very frustrated that I could not get it onto the iPod without any bubbles or dust. If Apple is to produce these stupid beautiful handheld gadgets that everyone wants, they should just manufacture it with one of these screen protectors pre-installed, perfectly, Apple-style. After 3 attempts at putting the screen protector on without imperfections, I decided to throw it out, and I just put the hard case on. It went on easily, and it looks great. Then I discovered a fleck of dust under the back cover. I tried to remove the case with a dime because I thought a nickel would not fit in the slot, but the dime nicked the plastic a little. I decided to leave the dust. Now, I have tried the nickel, and it works fine without damaging the case. If you have to remove the case, use a NICKEL to avoid nicking the plastic.

I recently ordered this case and I love it! It looks great and doesn't mask the beauty of the iPod. It adds a little weight and bulk but it's not that significant. It actually feels better in my hand with the case on. I like the fact that I don't have to remove the case to charge it. My non-iPod headphones fit fine with the case on, even though the headphone jack is larger than that of the iPod headphones. You can also reach the sleep button fine with the case on.

It's nice that they include the screen protector. It's not too hard to put on, you have to make sure to wipe your screen really well first and try not to touch the actual sticking surface of the protector. I was able to put it on without bubbles or dust but it doesn't seem to stick well around the very edges. I tried to peel it off at the bottom to fix it a little and now there is a large section at the bottom which won't stick anymore. Oh well, with the case on, you can't really tell.

I have search for all over the place to find right case. even Apple store doesn't have one. then I went to bestbuy. they had Griffin clear case at time of purchase. I just love that. it shows clear appearance of touch, and protect entire ipod touch as well. it looks beautiful on my hand. it comes with screen protector film which prevents smudge, scratches on the screen. only downside is that it is not coming with belt clip. but overall I just love it so much. if somebody look for right case, it's definitely answer.
