Customer Reviews

Perfect for its Purpose
I think that this is a great product, provided that you are using it for its intended purpose. The Otterbox is great for shielding your elegant, vulnerable ipod Touch from harsh environments filled with water, dust, sand, grit, hard impacts, g-shocks, and falls. For those very reasons, 1) the product does not have a charging/syncing port, because it would just get ruined in the type of situations that this product is designed to withstand, and 2) it is beefy, upping the slim and light Touch's breast-pocket size to something akin to the old tape-playing Walkmen of yesteryear.

I have found that it works well with my 2G Touch, though the protective film over the screen impedes contact with the touch screen enough that I find it best suited for simply playing music.

As another reviewer accurately reported, the belt clip is a tad flimsy; an unfortunate design flaw.

In conclusion, if you're taking your ipod Touch into environments where it's likely to get beat up (boating, the beach, camping, a battlefield (like the guy from Iraq)), then this product is good for keeping your ipod alive and well. If you just want a protective sleeve that you can stick in your home dock, try something else.

Good product
This is about as close to bulletproof as you are going to get with the touch.

The membrane over the touch screen gives good responsive access to the screen.

It is a pretty quick process to get the touch in an out of the case.

Downsides are the size and weight and the lack of ability to sync and charge from within the case.

It would be nice if Otterbox could design a case with an adapter that would allow one to sync and charge from within. I am guessing this might add quite a bit to the price, though.

not that bad..
overall this product works great. no leaks in the water, you can control the ipod even under water. the only problem I have had with it is the plastic clip that comes with it is a little weak.
