Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Speck ToughSkin Rubberized Case with Belt Clip for 80/120/160 GB iPod classic 6G (Black)
Customer Review: If not for the protection... get if for the style.
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought this for my new iPod 80 GB since I kept dropping the darn thing. The last thing I need is losing sleep over a $250 brick. I must say I am very impressed with this protector. It is a little bulky but all the connection slots are exposed and the rubber does not impede with the connections. I charge my headphones and charger in with no problems. Now that I think about it... the rubber is thick enough it might save you from an electrical discharge (highly unlikely... but just a crazy thought). The screen protector is not all that great since it is made of cheap plastic... so expect to see some scuff marks after a while... but I would much rather have scuff marks on my protector than on the iPod screen itself. All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase. If the protection still doesn't sound good enough... I at least recommend this item for the style. It makes my iPod look like a high-tech gadget. I think if Batman were to have an iPod somewhere in his inventory belt... it would look something like this. This definately gets 5 stars in my book.
PS. Hail Batman!

This is the best thing you can do to protect your iPod! This is my second Speck protective case(the first was for my 30 GB iPod) and I frankly wouldn't consider using my iPod outside the house without it. Soon after I bought the first Speck case I dropped my iPod for the first time. I was so truly greatful that i had it because i seriously doubt that it would have ever been the same (if it would've worked at all). I was relieved to find that there was absolutely NO DAMAGE at all to my iPod and amazingly NO DAMAGE to the case itself... not even the slightest scuff! I later dropped my iPod several times after and the result was the same!
This is a fantastic product that I HIGHLY recomend! Yes, Apple does make something very similar but it not only more expensive but it is not even close to the same quallty. The duribilty of this case as oppossed the Apple version is much, much better. Don't waste your time comparing the two. There is no comparison.
Customer Review: Very nice

I bought one of these and I love it. It does exactly what I wanted and meets all of my expectations. The case is quite thick so if you're like me and like to carry your Ipod in your pocket, it will make it more difficult to get it in and out of your pocket. If you're hard on you Ipod this makes a good solution for protecting it from bumps, and in my case, frequent drops. For the price of a new Ipod, an extra $15 or so is good insurance in my opinion.
I couldn't find replacement screen protectors here at Amazon but Speckproducts have them on there web site for less than $2 each. I would suggest a couple extra screen protectors to keep handy unless scratches on the screen protector doesn't bother you.
I can't say much about the belt clip as I don't use it, hate having anything weighing down my belt.
Oh yeah, it doesn't make your Ipod waterproof, only protects it from bumps and bruises.
Customer Review: Nice thing

The moment I saw this skin on this site, I made my mind to buy it.
One of the prime reasons to buy it was that it has a sturdy look and feel - perfect for my sophisticated IPod Classic 160GB. It was like having a soft heart in a hard shell.
Among the other reasons, following made a significant contribution to my decision making:
1) It was not exorbitantly expensive. I thought spending a bit more is ok as my IPod will be well protected from all vibes, shakes and scratches from the external world.
2) It came with screen protector, so I don't have to buy it separately.
Now when I have it, I say it's so far so good and it's nice to have it. If I happen to come across any unfortunate incedent which changes my outlook towards this product, I assure you that I'll update you will my foul cry but till then I keep my fingers crossed and relish this nice product.
Customer Review: Amazing!

I've had this for about a year now - I got it when I got my iPod.
My iPod does not have a scratch on it. Why did I wait a year to write a review? I figured, "Well, it's nothing special. Just a huge bulky rubbery thing to protect my iPod." Not bulky enough to make me write a bad review, though. As expected of a huge bulky rubbery thing, when I dropped it once or twice on pavement, the iPod was protected and did not shatter into a million pieces and die.
But do you want to hear why I like this huge bulky rubbery thing? I slammed the trunk on the iPod. Several times in a row, very hard, because I did not realize that I had left the iPod there. My iPod still works. Still not a scratch on it. The belt clip on the case got stuck closed, but I managed it back apart and it also works flawlessly.
I'd recommend this. I have the black cover on my black iPod. Very good buy, I must say.
