Good protector but renders the iPod dock and armband useless
(3 out of 5) by H. P. Ramesh on Sep 15, 2004 (Cupertino, CA, USA)Have been using this eversince I bought my iPod mini (Sep 2004).
The clear version slightly alters the original color of the Mini. It is available in other colors too.
Jam jacket is a good protection for iPod Mini. It doesn't have a belt clib and hence it is less bulky. It leaves the top of the iPod completely free and hence doesn't obstruct accessories that may sit on the iPod like FM transmiter, NaviPod etc.
Quite an useful product except for the following issues:
1) Can't insert into the dock as the bottom of the Mini is too thick with the jacket
2) Can't insert into the arm band iPod holder for the same reason
3) The entire jacket, especially the thin transparent screen, tends to attract dust and lint (may demand frequent cleaning)
4) There are no perforations on the jacket to let the iPod "breathe" while it is being charged. This might heat up the iPod depending upon the weather conditions.
If you are crazy about the iPod dock, look for a jacket that opens in the bottom to make room for the dock's jack.
There are other similar products featuring silicone jackets with a hard plastic screen protector. This is certainly a great improvement since hard plastic isn't sticky and it doesn't attract dirt as the thin plastic sheath.

Silicone nightmare
(1 out of 5) by MacGeek on Dec 28, 2004 (San Antonio, TX)After less than 2 months on my wife's iPod Mini, the silicon screen protector bonded to the glass and won't come off. No cleaners or solvents will remove it. The rest of the Jam Jacket does a decent job of protecting the iPod, but the design of that screen cover is very poor. If you have to get this, you'd better use a scissors and remove the screen cover first. Totally unacceptable.

I forgot to mention.
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jul 22, 2005I forgot to mention the jamjacket has no vents in the back so it gets hot! that can make your battery leak. The iskin and Xtrememac have vents in the back so it keeps it cool.

stylish but a dust collector!
(3 out of 5) by D. Gong on Aug 18, 2004 (New Brunswick, NJ USA)I have the 3 color pack of Jam Jacket for iPod mini. The Jam Jacket would have been a nice accessory it weren't for the fact that this thing collects dust like crazy. After a few days for usage, it was covered with a layer of dust. I just used it in my home and in the car, not dusty places. I give it 3 stars for design and style but minus 2 stars for usability due to the dust issue. My iPod mini now lays bare naked next to my computer, it looks better this way anyway.

My Xtrememac case is better than this.
(2 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Aug 3, 2005First of all, I have an email address, I just don't want to subscribe to amazon. Well this ipod case is not the best. there better ones out there. When I first got this case, I thought it rocks, But I was wrong. The silicone was sticky so it attracted a lot of dirt and other crap, It had no air vents in tha back, And the screen protector was silicone so it attracted dust to the screen, and after a couple weeks, it ripped! There are better cases out there like the xterememac silicone sleeve. It has vents in the back so it keeps the ipod cool, It has so screen protector, but I bought some great hard plastic ones, and the silicone is not sticky. It's harder but it gives better protection. It would go with the Xtrememac sleeve or the iskin.
