Good leather, but not so functional
Two things good about this case.
1. Fine quality leather and stitching work.
2. It will better protect your ipod touch when you drop it. (I've dropped it before I purchased this case several times, I'm impressed how well ipod touch is constructed to indure those drops...)
Now the bads and the wish lists.
1. ipod Buttons are not so accessible due to the case's construction.
2. The leather is thick on the edge of the front screen. To me this is the worst drawback of this case. This should have been as thin as possible since it's hard to reach to the edge of the touch screen. The new ipod 2.0 software and available downloadable softwares uses edge of the screen quite a lot.
3. Should have some kind of anker or hook to wrap around the earphone. I'm wrapping it around left edge of the front screen now as an alternative.
4. Some optional belt clip would have been nice.
5. Wasted front cover inside. Should have a pocket there to put in, such as microfiber cleaning cloth or a couple of business card.
I guess... fine material, but they could have given just a bit more of thoughts on the organics...
Synergy of form and function!
After much searching for a case for my iPod touch (and repeated visits to various Apple stores in the area), I settled on the Belkin Folio. But I definitely didn't settle! It's highly stylish with beveled hexagons on the front, a soft cowhide interior, and a subtle black & brown color scheme. But it's also fully functional: it securely protects the iTouch with its folio fold velcroed in place; when open, my iTouch stays securely in place (maybe this will change over time?); and I still have full access to all ports and buttons on top and bottom. With this case I'm more than proud to carry around and show off my iPod (which is quickly becoming my full PDA!).
Great Case, nice price.
I just got the Belkin Folio for my Ipod Touch. It's a perfect fit. All buttons are accessible, although the center button is a little obstructed. I like the fact that it's got the flap to protect the Ipod's screen, so I can just drop it in my laptop bag or pocket when traveling. It also comes with a procective screen that you can put on the Ipod, but I still have the Mfr protective film on mine. The only dislike I have about this is the Velcro. Makes it feel cheap. A magnetic button would have been nice. Other than that, I do reccomend this.
