Silicone Soft Skin Cover Case for iPod Touch 2G & 3G - Black

 (47 customer reviews)

PROs:
1) I was searching for cases on Amazon before buying this one, and checked out a lot of the sub $10 skins. Almost all the reviews said those case was too big. However, this case was the cheapest of them all, and also fits very snugly and does a good job protecting the iPod Touch.
2) The price tag - at $0.69, I was surprised this case wasn't glued together. Compared to cases reaching $30, and even skimpy screen protector sheets reaching almost to $10, this case delivers a lot of bang for your buck.
3) The color - the case looks great on the iPod Touch because it matches and isn't a lightish-black or greyish, but is actually a solid, great-looking black (just as it appears in the images).

CONs:
1) The case is a dust magnet. Putting it down on a surface almost always results in particles and dust bits to wind up on the case. This affects the cleanliness of the overall product more than the actual appearance though, and does not alter the protection...Read more

I bought this as a temporary sleeve to use while I'm waiting for a custom case which will not be ready for about another month. Based on the price and free shipping w/ prime, I figured it was worth a try. Fits my ipod 2g like a glove, and prevents the back from getting scratched. When trying to find something at the store, I couldn't find anything for under $20.00, even for a simple little sleeve. So this one really is a great buy and serves its purpose.

I had given this 5 stars because of its value and it fit the ipod touch snugly and appeared to be a good product. However, i've learned that first impressions can deceive. In spite of not being out of its case, the back of the ipod touch is scratched so much that it looks cloudy and dull - almost as if someone scrubbed it with fine sandpaper. So either its the case itself that scratches, or the case lets in grit which abrades the surface of the ipod touch. Maybe the problem is it isn't snug enough or its the two holes in the back for an armstrap. In any case it didn't really serve its intended purpose. In its favor, it does hide the edges of the ipod touch screen which helps keep the protective screen skin from peeling off.
