Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of DLO Jam Jacket Case with Cord Management and Surface Shields for iPod touch 1G (Black)
Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I definately needed a case for my touch. I carry it in my purse so i didn't want things like pencils and keys scratching it up. Plus I had one for my nano and it worked really well. It's also good because my fingers tended to sweat when i held it for too long. The picture made this case look really bulky to me but it's actually not. I got the clear case and though the picture makes it look like solid white, it really is clear.
Surface Shields
Like most of you it took a little while for me to get the surface shields on but you're gonna have that with other surface shields. I couldn't get all the dust off of my touch but the air bubbles don't really bother me. I used the credit card idea to smooth it. Once I got it on, the actual case was very easy to put on.
Cord Management
It is for ipod earphones but I use them anyway. If I'm walking in the cold my ears start hurting so I use old school headphones. but I don't keep them with my touch anyway. I didn't have any trouble winding it. I started with the earphones plugged into the touch and started winding on the left side. Then I used the little notches on the side and it was easy to get the earphones in. Finally I disconnected the earphone jack and slid it in.

For those of you whose earphones broke when taking them out, if you take them out at an angle instead of pulling them straight out, it's impossible for them to break.
Case
This case feels really nice and doesn't block the wifi connectivity. I also like the fact that it's got thicker corners and good grips. When the touch is turned sideways, I can hold it by the case management which was really helpful when I was using the AeroGuitar app. I don't use a dock so I can't say much about that.
Customer Review: DLO makes great accessories
Summary: 5 Stars
I just recieved my IPOD Touch from Apple and saw immediately that it needed some protection. I went to Amazon and looked at the different options and opted for the Jam Jacket.
I was not disappointed. I have some other DLO products and have always been impressed with both the products and the customer service. The Jam Jacket fits perfectly on the touch and gives me exactly what I need. I substituted my IPAQ for the Touch, well because the Touch is infinitely cooler and easy to use. I use it for work to keep appointments and contacts, so I always have it with me. I usually just keep it in my shirt pocket all day, pulling it in and out to schedule things and make calls. The Jam Jacket barely increases the size and but adds some adhesion to the Touch so that it does not fall out of my pocket.
At first I thought that I would not like the ear bud holder b/c, as others have noted, I don't generally use the buds but opt for in the ear style headphones. However, the Jam Jacket stores the ear buds so neatly and compactly that I now carry the buds with me all the time so I have my movies and music always available. In my opinion, the Touch is so small to begin with, adding a little bulk to store the ear buds is worth it.
BTW, the screen shield that ships with the Jam Jacket is a must. It is easy to install, just be sure that you clean the Touch and wash your hands before you put it on. Frankly, I don't even notice that the screen has a protector on it. Also the screen covers the entire front of the Touch while leaving a hold for the "home" button.
So bottom line is that I think this is great product and I highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Excellent protection, storage and styling. Great price too!

I don't normally go out of my way to write a review. After all, it takes away from my valuable time shopping for myself on Amazon. I did feel the need to give this one a great review. When I was hunting for a case/protection for my new iPod Touch, it was difficult to find anything that first, was available and second, wasn't made of ultra-hard plastic. I wanted a "skin" that would prevent my iPod from sliding and would be easy to remove if needed. The DLO Jam Jacket was just the thing. Here's why: 1) The skin slips on very easily and fits snug. 2) Offers storage for the Apple stock headphones unlike any other case -- a perfect fit with no winding your headphones around your screen. 3) Comes with a self-adhering plastic screen protector but you MUST be patient when applying this. Go slowly and use the card that comes with it to remove air bubbles if they occur. 4) The rubber isn't cheap like others. It is a nice sturdy rubber that will last. You can even remove it if you need to wash it with mild soap and water. 5) Perfect for setting your iPod Touch on your dash or a slick surface as it won't slide away. Same with the inside of your jacket pockets. 6) I know it wasn't designed for this, but it actually can kind of stand up on a slight tilt when watching videos because the rubber cord manager on the back protrudes a bit so when you set it on a flat surface it naturally tilts up. --- One bad thing but not a deal killer: The only change I would make, if the manufacturer is reading this, is that it doesn't quite fit the stand-up Apple dock connector, but if you don't mind just plugging it in using the standard USB or Firewire connector then you're fine. I am very anal with this stuff. ---Customer Review: Great

For those of us who have and Ipod touch, it is a necessity to take care of our ipod, nurish it and raise it with good values so that it can become a fine ipod.
Nahh seriously, it is a must, to have some kind of protection for any Ipod. They scratch very easily. And this Ipod in particular, has a glass screen for the touch part; which means that any sustantial impact (like dropping the Ipod) will break the glass.
This silicon protector does a good job reducing the risks of breaking the glass screen. It also comes with a screen protector which is basically a rectangular piece of hard plastic with a side that sticks to the Ipod Touch's screen. It has a circular hole for the home button.
Before putting the screen protector, try to clean the screen of the Ipod so that you don't trap any bubbles. And like D. Farley said, if you have any bubbles, put tape on the sticky side of the screen protector to remove dust or hair and your Ipod will be bubble free.
The cord management is great to attach the cable of the earphones. But the circular slots for the earpieces only work with the type of earphones that come with the Ipod.
Customer Review: Great case for your ipod touch
Summary: 5 Stars
I would recommend this case for anyone with a touch who uses the Apple earbuds. The materials seem to be high quality and protect the entire touch very well except for the screen which the included screen shield takes care of. I did have some difficulty applying the screen shield and tried to wipe some dust off the sticky side with a paper towel, which essentially ruined the shield. The company was nice enough to send me a couple free replacement shields though, this time I will use Scotch tape as another reviewer recommended if the shield gets dust on it during application.
The rear headphone storage does add some depth to the unit but I don't mind it. It is a nice solution to keeping the earbuds at hand without wrapping them around the whole ipod which blocks the screen for when you want to just check email etc. Unfortunately my Shure earbuds don't fit in the slots and the whole (thick) cord doesn't even fit on the cord storage reel. Still a great cord management solution if you use stock earbuds.
