Speck ToughSkin Rubberized Case with Belt Clip for iPod classic 6G (Black) Reviews
One small issue, it does not fit well into a dock. and the groves make sure it does not slip away. I run a cable from the headphone jack to the portable stereo. I lover the feel. It adds just the right amount of size so it does not get lost in your hand.
My only problem with it is that the belt clip is a bit flimsy and doesn't stay on terribly well. I definitely recommend it. This is a great product. But it gives my Ipod great protection and has complete easy access to all the terminals.
It makes the ipod much easier to hold and the belt clip clips in very tightly so its difficult for someone to steal it. Nice case. I had my ipod for a month and I had nearly dropped it several times before I bought this case.
To open the clip so you can slip it over a belt, you need to press on two extensions at the top of the clip. The replacement clips are relatively cheap (around $2 each when I ordered them) but with shipping, the cost is around $5 each - depending on how many you order. But having the attachment button sticking out of the back of the case actually makes it a little inconvenient to shove the case into a pocket. I've had two clips fail for the same reason. Clip 1 49 days before failing. To be fair, I use my Ipod a lot. The actual plastic alligator clip is not so great 2 to 2.5 stars because it isn't very durable.
I operate the clip at least a dozen times a day. Both clips failed when one of the extensions cracked - so that the clip could not be opened. Even so, I don't have a crushing grip. Since I had to order replacement clips from the manufacturer, I know how long each one lasted. The case can, of course, be used without the clip. The case is 5 stars.
Most of the other cases I've owned have had the button glued to the case - and, sooner or later, the glue weakens (usually resulting in the cased Ipod falling to the ground). The only new thing I have to say about the case is that I really like the fact that the button for the belt clip is anchored inside the case. Clip 2 40 days before failing.
(Although the big mean industrial rubber look is a lot cooler than that crocheted sock thing your girlfriend puts her ipod in). The toughskin's traction makes it harder to drop, and it provides enough cushioning that the ipod has survived several falls without any damage. I ended up buying one of those stick-on decals that protect the surface of the ipod. (Keep in mind that the rubber of the case makes getting it in and out of a tight pocket something of a challenge).
I've had this case for about two years, I think, and I'm very happy with it. With great skill, I've managed to accidentally knock my ipod off my desk many times, either by forgetting my headphones are on when I walk away, or by simply dropping it. Do NOT take your ipod out of the case (you're not winning any beauty shows) unless you really do need to, as the "mouth" around the screen will stretch out more and more. Second, the rubber stretches.
There's only two drawbacks: first off, the rubber of the case will mark up the surface of the ipod. It's completely superficial, but if you plan on taking the ipod out of the case for a beauty show, you're not going to win. All in all, a great case for people who favor safety over style.
