Customer Review: Beautiful blend of form and function
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an absolute beauty that truly balances form and function. Everything you need to get to is accessible. Everything you need to cover is protected. (Yes, as was mentioned before, you want to keep the glass screen clear.) And the fit is like a tailor came over, took some measurements and came back to suit it up. Let's face it, the Touch is a thing of beauty. There is no way I would suit up a $350 beauty into anything that didn't make it look like a million bucks.
And with all due respect to the guy who decided to pull the clip off - so he could fit it into a headphone case - ohhhh man - that is THE MAIN REASON I bought it. The only pocket you will ever put the Touch into is a shirt or jacket - and the clip will keep it from falling out - it is an absolute requirement for a $350 device that cannot be stuffed into your jeans.
Once I saw this - and read all the positive reviews - I knew I had found the right suit. A hands down winner!
Customer Review: Great Value
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent case for the money. Agree with the earlier review that a hole is needed in the case to allow the ambient light sensor to work properly. However, there is a good reason why it's not there: the sensor location moved between the 2nd generation and 3rd generation iPod touches (I have both, and compared the sensor location carefully before making a hole in the case for each specific iPod). This means the manufacturer would have to make cases for specific models OR provide a case with multiple holes (not aesthetically pleasing).
A hole can be made easily using a sharp punch of the proper diameter (often used for leather work or woodworking). Sensor now works perfectly on both units. Be sure to verify the EXACT location of the sensor on your iTouch and transfer it to the case prior to making the hole.
The case WILL work with sensor blocked, but backlighting will be inadequate with strong ambient light.
Customer Review: Excellent Case
Summary: 5 Stars
It's all been said by others. But, in case you find confidence in numbers, I will add my reassurance that, when it comes to look, assembly, feel of the leather, fit, and design, this is the best case I've come across for any of my gadgets. Does not add too much to the sleek thinness of the iTouch. Little pocket on inside of folding cover is perfect place to keep that soft screen-cleaning cloth that came with the iTouch - and so doing does not increase girth. Access to all ports, switches. When trying to touch something at the window margin (e.g., link on a web page), leather edges can slightly interfere with adult male fingers, requiring that the page be scrolled up/down or right/left. Reasonable protection: accidentally dropped the cased iTouch from chest level to parking lot pavement (aaaargh, heart-stopping moment while turning it on to check condition) but it came through fine. Without the case or a brittle case, and ....?Customer Review: An excellent and worthwhile purchase!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, the video review above really sold me on the product, therefore I took a chance and purchased the Leather Folio case for my newly purchased iPod Touch. I WAS COMPLETELY PLEASED WITH WHAT I RECEIVED. Aside from keeping my iPod Touch perfectly safe and snug inside its pocket, its leather is incredibly soft and the case itself is easy to open and close. You can also flip the opening flap behind the iPod Touch for easier access to the device. The hidden pocket inside the case is also convenient when you're on the go, and don't want to bother bringing your purse/pocketbook/wallet/etc. You can slip ID's, credit cards, or a bit of cash, then clip the case to your side and head out the door. I had to give this product a high rating due to its sleek look and convenience. If you haven't watched the video review, please do so, as it may be the ultimate factor in your decision to buy it!Customer Review: IPod Touch Wallet Style Case
Summary: 5 Stars
The DLO Hipcase is like a wallet for your IPod Touch. It offers no screen protector, but when closed does provide good protection for the touchscreen.
Overall, I call it an IPod wallet. Keeps my IPod safe with reasonable handling and protected as I carry it around. The headphone jack remains available to play music when you belt clip it, or carry in a shirt pocket. It will not survive more than reasonable light use not for runners or sports types, good for walkers . Overall I m very pleased with the purchase and do not plan looking for other cases or covers. Delivery was rapid, and the package was very secure to protect the product during delivery. Nothing bad to say here - I m very satisfied with this product and purchase.DLO HipCase Leather Folio for iPod touch Black
