I'm on about my third case in a about 5 years I guess. I agree that it's a little tough to use if you have some kind of stand for your ipod. But it's the one case that I've found that has a great clip. I don't have to worry about loosing my Ipod whenever I ride my mountain bike. The clip also is handy for securing the ipod when it's attached to my car stereo, which is really it's home. The Ipod controls are a little hard to use through the plastic case but that's hardly an issue because I can control the ipod through the car stereo so it's a non-issue. And for when I use it riding, the controls are responsive enough so that I can skip a song or repeat it while I'm riding. Don't usually scroll through playlists while I'm riding anyway.

After a while looking for a case for my ipod classic 160(2009 version)I decided to give this one a try. The black material is stretchy and gives a very nice snug fit. It also has a belt clip on the back which you can take on or off so you can lay it flat. The front is made of clear plastic, making it just about impossible to operate my click wheel while in the case. Since its such a stretchy tight fit itd definatly be a hassle to take it on and off whenever you want to use the click wheel. I actually cut the plastic so the wheel wasnt covered but left it where the ipods screen is. Thats why I have a mix review of it. I like it now that Ive modified it, but if you dont want to mess with a case maybe you should keep looking.
