This Toughskin product for the Apple ipod nano 2G really works great and looks great. It looks like it will be very shock resistant with the large integral bumper lugs throughout the design. The ipod fits like a glove and no slipping is anticipated. The supplied transparent protective display screen cover is easy to install and will be easy to keep clean with the removable design. Just load in the ipod and then load in the screen protector. All of the controls and connections are still easily accessible. No problem with accessing the release buttons on the ipod cord connector plug. The belt clip design worked out great, it fits belts, and can easily be clipped to a shirt or pocket. The swivel design of the clip allows the ipod to remain in the vertical position, a big plus. The clip looks pretty rugged and should last for a long time. The belt clip is removable, another big plus if just placing the ipod on a desk or in a pocket. This is a good product and should be considered especially if your ipod will be exposed to dangers that could damage it by a simple bump into something or a drop could occur. One of my better purchases.
The one thing I learned while loading the ipod into the Toughskin sleeve is to make sure the lock out controls button is activated on the ipod to ensure that the malicious key combination of "menu" and "select" are not held down simultaneously causing ipod shut down and requiring a reboot sequence of switching the lock out control on then off then holding the menu and select button down simultaneously for 6 - 10 seconds to reboot the ipod. This took a little while to get straight with help from the Apple support web page. But everyone already knows not to do this, right?
Shipping went good with standard USPS. Thanks Amazon.
Customer Review: Exactly what I wanted...and you can't beat the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I can really only give this sleeve 4 stars. With the promotional rebate Amazon had when I purchased this, they ended up paying me $1.01 to own it...and for that price, what's not to love.
That said, I love this sleeve. I went through about a half dozen different sleeves that all had to be returned for various reasons - they were dirt collectors (biggest offense), didn't fit, couldn't access controls, flimsy, etc. This one looks pretty good (although not really small), fits the iPod perfectly, NEVER falls out, I can access every control INCLUDING the USB connection. In fact, I leave my Pod in this sleeve when I connect it to our Bose system and it fits just fine without having to take it out - this was one of my big concerns. All of that and it is the least likely of any sleeves I've owned to attract every speck of dirt and lint within 5 miles. What can I say, it's exactly what I wanted.
However, I don't think I would have paid more than $12-13 for it if not for the promotion. Even after owning it, it's just a piece of rubber and I think $13 is a fair price, $19 is a bit excessive. You make the call on value.
Customer Review: Rugged iPod Skin
Summary: 4 Stars
Let me put this simply. I was walking out of my room on the second floor, and my ipod was in this case when it slipped off of the books I was carrying. It fell through the stair railing and smacked into the hard wood floor one story down and bounced twice before coming to a stop. I ran down to rescue my precious ipod, and when I pushed the play button, it turned on as if nothing happened! I continued listening to it that whole day and it was perfectly fine!
I keep my ipod in my backpack along with other school supplies that always bounce around and scuff each other. This skin is very durable and easily protects against all that. Though I recommend this skin for anyone who travels a lot with their ipod, I must say there is one down to it. The part that attaches to the belt clip has a large plastic disk on the inside that rubs against the back of the ipod. This eventually leaves an ugly imprint. Therefore, if you buy this product, either take the plastic ring out, or put something soft between the unit and the ring to prevent the damage.
I love this thing!
