Speck CandyShell Case for iPod touch 2G, 3G (Pink)

 (28 customer reviews)

I saw the CandyShell in the Apple store, and the employee recommended it to me. He claimed that all his customers have been satisfied, but I know he might have been yanking my chain to make a sale. I came home and read some good reviews, so I decided to give it a try. (Plus, I got this case for only $22 whereas it's about $35 in-store.)

The back of the case is hard plastic, so it's a bit shiny. I actually found that it's not slippery, so I'm quite pleased with it. I love the color as well. The case covers the volume and off buttoms on the side and top of the iPod; the case does have raised areas of different color so it is obvious where the buttons are. I actually really like the feel of the buttons, perhaps even moreso than without the case.

The case comes with a screen protector. It was easy to apply after I used the included microfiber cloth to clean the screen for a good 5 minutes. It looks great - no bubbles, more shiny, less fingerprinty...Read more

This case is great! I've had it for about two weeks now, and I must say it has done it's job.
The case is not bulky whatsoever. The back is glossy, but still maintains grip. The rubber that the other viewer said was a little flimsy, it kind of is, but you can tell it's sturdy, almost like a VERY tight rubberband.
Minor things are: The back becomes a little scratched because of use, but it isn't deep or anything, it's just a little wear.
Good: I have actually DROPPED my Ipod once with the cover on, and it literally bounced on the corner. NO damage to my Ipod despite the impact, this cover does its job! The rubberized corners really come in handy.
It's pretty hard to take off, but you probaly don't want to, unless you want to clean for dust. The buttons over the volume and lock button are actually nice, have not had any problems with them.

Ive always liked speck and this price was perfect for my daughters ipod touch. Shes 3 and reading already so she reads a lot of books on here and drops it from time to time. very protected!
