I purchased this last week and it fits really great. I have read reviews on other cases where you end up scratching your iPod by just inserting it into the case. With this case the iPod slides right in and the front cover slides in on top of it. The pink looks great with my black iPod. I also like that it covers the click wheel and screen. There is plenty of room to get to any buttons and ports without ever taking it out of the case. I am very pleased with this case.

I just bought this case, and it's terrific. First of all, it looks great. It it similar to having a colorful iPod--the fit is good enough that it doesn't really look like a case. Second, so far it seems like it protects my iPod very well. (I sat on it by accident on the couch and it was fine!) It covers the screen and the wheel, but doesn't seem to affect the use of the center button and wheel.

This is an excellent, beautiful case. It comes with a clear backing that you gently pop the iPod into (there are seperate backings for the 30 and 80 gig iPods to ensure a perfect fit) and the face snaps on and is suspended slightly above the iPod so as to not damage the front. There are holes for the dock connector, hold switch, and headphone port that are all easily accessible. Although its not clear in the picture, the screen is covered with hard plastic and the wheel is covered by a thin plastic film which is essentially invisible. The case has a good feel to it and adds just enough bulk to the iPod so that it feels protected, but not smothered in a bulky case. The color of the brushed metal is stunning, and earned many "oohs" and "aahs" from the friends I showed it to. I've had several iPod cases in the past ranging from leather ones to rubber "skins" to hard plastic, and this is by far the best of any. A good buy!

I wanted a case for my iPod that would protect it but that wasn't bulky, sticky, or tacky. This one is perfect! It doesn't look like a case. It makes my black iPod look like a pink iPod. It also allows me to keep my iPod in my purse without worrying about it being scratched or damaged. All the buttons are fully accessable and the whole iPod is proteced (the screen and wheel included!). This is the perfect case. I'm so glad I bought it.

I've gotten lots of compliments on this case. It has a snug fit for my iPod 5G 80gb. The acrylic backing is quite thick but it still docks into the base that came with my HTiB by Panasonic. I can still use my Monster iCarPlay Wireless FM Transmitter although the plug cannot fully insert due to the thickness of the acrylic casing & snug opening. Easy to access the Hold switch & earphone jack. Love the fact that I didn't have to fuss with a squeegee screen protector or a bunch of stickers to protect the click wheel.
