Bought this last week, was very pleased with the delivery speed.
The case itself looks fine, not too thick, a nice opaque black and fits my iPod Touch 2G very well (sometimes sags a bit at the bottom). The case has a nice grooved effect in the back that looks nice and makes the case easier to hold.
I have noticed within the week that I’ve had it, however, the strange amount of dust/fluff that has gathered on the case, especially in the grooves on the back. It has been in a well cleaned home and just had some general use ie. me sitting at my desk, fiddling with the apps or listening to some songs.
So I cannot help but feel that my money could have been spent elsewhere on a more expensive, higher quality case, and although this does the job and there is nothing wrong with it, it does feel cheap after a while.
Just a little note here aswell, take care when inserting headphones into your iPod with the case on, as sometimes the padding around the jack will be obstructed by the case, preventing them from “clicking” in.

This is a really nice product, very simple but effective. It is made of a nice soft material so it is nice to touch, and it doesn’t affect either your iPod or anything else in your bag or pocket. I would definitely recommend it if you are just looking for a cheap and cheerful way to protect your iPod.

I got my iPod Touch on a Friday… this cover didn’t arrive until Monday – despite how INCREDIBLY careful I was with the iPod… the back has still managed to attract some scratches… this case will, from now on, protect my shiney new iPod for years to come (hopefully!).
It fits nicely, not too tight that it’s a pain to get on and off, but not so loose that it can move around – just right.
The one they shipped differs slightly from the picture… the rubber case comes up over the front, and covers the button on the front of the unit, but there is a “nipple”, which allows you to still push the button just as easily as before.
I think I’ll probably have to take it off and give it (and the iPod) a good clean every now and again, as dirt does seem rather attracted to the rubber.
But all in all, and excellent product, which, especially for the price, I would recommend to anyone.

This is a cheap case for your iPod touch if you don’t want to go for a more expensive option.
Fits well, and does not interfere with any of the iPod functions.

This cover doesn’t really provide ‘all around protection from scratches’, as it has no protection at all for the screen. Very cheap, but unfortunately makes the iPod look very cheap too. Not really worth having.
Update – the items I received were not the same as the one now illustrated on the product page, which has a clear cover over the Home button. Instead only the screen is visible (and is unprotected).
