Speck PixelSkin for iPod touch 2G (Black)


If you've been waiting for a good case for your new ipod touch 2g than your wait is over. First, I had the belkin wave silicone case and it's good but not worth $25, maybe $10. This case by speck, is definitely worth the money. It fits the ipod perfectly, it has a nice grip, and feels sturdy enough to take a fall because of it's extra thick corners. It does not add much bulk to the touch so it's still looks cool in your hands.My suggestion on this product is if you don't have a case buy this, if you have one, consider buying this one, you will not regret this purchase.


I still wouldn't want to drop the ipod -- this is not a hard case (they're pretty bulky), but this slim rubber case protects from minor bumps and feels good in the hand. I coupled it with an ikross screen protector and now I don't worry about everyday wear degrading the look and function of my favorite new toy.

Belkin Silicone Sleeve Case for iPod nano 4G


There is absolutely NO reason to buy this case unless you plan on navigating solely using shuffle and never adjusting your volume. I say this because despite its sleek design, good fit, and excellent protection (which lured me in), it manages to protect the click wheel a little too well with a too thick piece of silicone that NEVER LETS YOU USE IT! I can't stress this enough, the click wheel's scroll functions become useless after you put this case on. While this might be good for people who are using the nano when exercising or something and don't need to adjust volume or scroll through songs, it simply doesn't work for anyone else. Honestly I can't imagine how this could have made it past quantity control... The whole issue could have easily been fixed by using a thinner section in that area or just not having it there like many other cases. The saddest part is however that the exact reason I chose this case over others was because it WAS there, and I thought it would serve to provide better protection to the most used area of the player. So don't be like me, find another case that doesn't have that critical area covered or settle for a skin. I wish my old skin hadn't torn when I was taking it off to put this on :(
