Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of DLO HipCase Leather Folio Case for iPod touch 1G, 2G, 3G (Black)
Customer Review: Quality product. I should have bought it first
Summary: 5 Stars
This case is very practical and functional, which is exactly what I was looking for. No bling or flash, just a simple and functional case. My only complaint about this product is that I didn't buy it sooner.
Pros:
+ Light-weight case which protects the entire iPod
+ Snug fit keeps The Precious from sliding about.
+ Simple clasp-less design for the face cover has fewer parts to break. (it uses magnets to stay shut)
+ Low-key appearance makes it look like any other PDA instead of screaming "Steal my overpriced iPod Touch"
+ Easy access to the power and main button.
+ Belt clip
Cons:
- The volume buttons on the side are covered up, but the case is thin enough that you can still push them with a bit of effort. Kind of annoying, but I rarely use them.
- The fitting the charging/docking cable through docking port on the bottom can be more difficult.
- Probably can't be used with most docking stations.
Overall, this case does exactly what I need without causing any major annoyances. The belt clip is really nice, but it isn't so strong that I trust it to actually wear my iPod. Instead I put the iPod inside my pocket and let the belt clip sit on the outside.
Customer Review: What I was looking for
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this for the ipod touch 3g that I had purchased recently and I am quite satisfied with it. Paid around $21 w/shipping fr: Ace Photo Digital via amazon and I thought it was worth it. The one that I had received came with a hole for the light sensor (unlike the vid review that had the reviewer stating he needed to drill a hole). I admit that sometimes the edges of the case where it meets the screen for the ipod touch in the front does interfere a bit when you have things to click or drag (because it's not level or going to be flush with the screen), another thing would be that the volume control is obstructed (this in particular I really don't mind, since I use my earphones w/built in volume control) but ultimately to me, these things were not that big of a deal, only minor. I mainly bought this because you can clip in onto your belt, pocket, etc - that was a must for me in deciding to purchase a new case. Also, I was looking for a case with a pocket where you would be able to stash some cards and/or cash. This case was the only one I could find that fit those criteria. The case itself is lightweight and made of real (not faux) leather; it looks like it will provide adequate protection and the quality of the case is nice.Customer Review: Great DLO Genuine Leather Case
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful case.
First there is no disgusting smell when first opening the package, only the great smell of genuine leather. This may have been an issue addressed because of previous complaints.
The case seems sturdy and holds the iPod touch 16 Gig 2nd Generation very well. It does not slide out of the case and all of the screen (including the home button) is easily accessed. The only part of the 2nd generation iPod that is covered is the volume rocker, but this is easily pressed through the leather on the side.
On the inside of the case there is a smooth felt fabric that protects the iPod from scratches when sitting in the case.
There are two weak magnets at the base of the case. They are strong enough to hold the flap shut but will not interfere with the device.
I recommend this case for everyone who owns an iPod touch. It is a very nice leather case with a good belt strap. It offers great protection for the screen with the leather flap.
Customer Review: It's actually worth the money!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've rarely been inclined to leave a review for a purchased product, but with this item, I'm inspired. I was a bit skeptical at spending $20 for what I figured would be a cheap 'faux' leather case for an ipod Touch. I think most iPod accessories are overpriced, but when I got this case, I was delighted at the quality. This is NOT fake leather, it is 100% genuine cowhide leather, and you can even smell it :) The stitching quality is top-notch, and I was surprised that it even had a very secure belt clip on it.
The item description says that it's made for the 8gb and 16gb iPod Touch, but I took a shot anyway, and ordered this for my 32gb Touch. For those 32gb owners out there who might be wondering, this is a perfect fit for it as well. That might be common sense, but I wasn't certain until I got it.
If you feel 'funny' carrying around a $500 mp3 player in it's bare state, this case will alleviate most if not all of your fears. It feels like you've given the iPod a safehouse to protect it. It's solid built, and quality crafted. I'm VERY pleased with this purchase.
Customer Review: Awesome Case for the iPod touch.
Summary: 5 Stars
FYI : the 1G in the title indicates 1st Generation iPod Touch - not a 1gig. A second generation iPod Touch was released in Sept 2008.
I use this case on my iPod Touch and love it. It fits snuggly but not roughly. The front "flap" protects the screen wonderfully and allows easy access to all your controls. The openings at the bottom line up perfectly with all access points. You can charge your Touch without having to remove it from the case ( directly with the connector cable, I do not use a cradle ). The headphone jack is easily accessed as well.
The padding, though not overdone or bulky, has protected my prized Touch during a fall that I was sure had doomed it to uselessness. Not so - it was unscathed, thanks to this great case.
I can highly recommend this item, it's a perfect accessory.
My only exception to this being the most perfect case would be - to this and ALL iPod Touch cases, is that there is no where to store your headphones. I leave mine plugged in and wrap the cord around the case, securing the flap shut. Works for me.
