First, let me say that I own this case for my older iPod and think that, for the price, it is great. Sure, you could shell out the extra bucks for some leather case or something, but I didn't feel like going that high-end. It is a very durable case and the addition of the belt clip is nice (although I wouldn't use this case just by itself for protection...if you want to do that, get the NLO stuff).

Second, concerning what this case is designed for...

If you read their "features" on this case, it clearly states:

"Created for older iPods - a great accessory for earlier models of iPod"

What are they supposed to do? Come to your house and check out what kind of iPod you have? Not only that, but they include a picture as well. Geez.

So yeah, if you have an older iPod, this thing is great. But read the description before you buy!!!

Ok first of all, everyone who's reviewed this item obviously never got past the second grade. People are giving this a low rating due to the fact that its not made for the new Ipod, when the picture of the item CLEARLY shows the old Ipod in the case. So thats not a problem with the product, but with not reading/looking at the description. Also, reviews for a case aren't the forum for reviewing all the digial music players out there so I don't even understand that one.
Second, this is the cheapest Ipod case I could find, so I didn't expect it to be the case of my dreams. But, in fact, I was really happy with it. It fits snug, has a clip (unlike some of the more expensive ones), covers the screen (a big plus and many covers don't have it!), and leaves all the ports accessible. I think I'll rarely ever take it out of its case. One downside, and the only reason it didn't get 5 stars, is that it is a little bulky. The back of the case has a thick pad and the plastic is kinda thick as well. But I would rather it be thick than tear 3 months into owning it.
So, if you want a cheap and durable case with a clip and screen cover, I would really reccommend this one. If you'd rather have something really slim, have a new iPod, or don't mind shelling out the big bucks, there are some super nice cases in the $40-50 range, but not on this site.

Well this rating is more for amazon.com rather then the item it self. I just bought a 10gb ipod, and I decided I should protect my investment. When I clicked on carrying cases, this came up, but apparently this model is only compatible with THE OLDER IPODS!!! I can get a refund, but it is going to be such an inconvenience. Amazon, you disappoint me. Please make a change here as this is misleading to customers.

I recently bought an ipod and it was getting scratched up so i thought i would invest in this case. It looks really slim on this site but when i got it, it was big and bulky. Unless you plan on using the belt clip and attaching it to your belt or bag strap, stay away from this product. two thumbs down.

This seems to be a very nice product with one HUGE proviso. This is only compatible with the original Ipod. I have the 30 gig model and the case is useless. This incompatibility is not discolsed on the Amazon web page nor the product packaging (plastic bubble case which must be destroyed to open it), so by the time I found out it does not fit the new models, the product is unreturnable
