 i pod case September 2, 2008
I lover the feel. It adds just the right amount of size so it does not get lost in your hand. and the groves make sure it does not slip away. One small issue, it does not fit well into a dock. I run a cable from the headphone jack to the portable stereo.
Great product. August 29, 2008
This is a great product. My only problem with it is that the belt clip is a bit flimsy and doesn't stay on terribly well. But it gives my Ipod great protection and has complete easy access to all the terminals. I definitely recommend it.
 As the name implies it's tough... August 25, 2008
I had my ipod for a month and I had nearly dropped it several times before I bought this case. It makes the ipod much easier to hold and the belt clip clips in very tightly so its difficult for someone to steal it. Nice case.
Great case. Not so great belt clip. August 9, 2008
The case is 5 stars.
The only new thing I have to say about the case is that I really like the fact that the button for the belt clip is anchored inside the case. Most of the other cases I've owned have had the button glued to the case - and, sooner or later, the glue weakens (usually resulting in the cased Ipod falling to the ground).
The actual plastic alligator clip is not so great -- 2 to 2.5 stars because it isn't very durable.
I've had two clips fail for the same reason. To open the clip so you can slip it over a belt, you need to press on two extensions at the top of the clip. Both clips failed when one of the extensions cracked - so that the clip could not be opened.
Since I had to order replacement clips from the manufacturer, I know how long each one lasted.
Clip 1 -- 49 days before failing
Clip 2 -- 40 days before failing
To be fair, I use my Ipod a lot. I operate the clip at least a dozen times a day. Even so, I don't have a crushing grip.
The case can, of course, be used without the clip. But having the attachment button sticking out of the back of the case actually makes it a little inconvenient to shove the case into a pocket.
The replacement clips are relatively cheap (around $2 each when I ordered them) but with shipping, the cost is around $5 each - depending on how many you order.
Great case with two drawbacks August 5, 2008
I've had this case for about two years, I think, and I'm very happy with it. With great skill, I've managed to accidentally knock my ipod off my desk many times, either by forgetting my headphones are on when I walk away, or by simply dropping it. The toughskin's traction makes it harder to drop, and it provides enough cushioning that the ipod has survived several falls without any damage. (Keep in mind that the rubber of the case makes getting it in and out of a tight pocket something of a challenge.)
There's only two drawbacks: first off, the rubber of the case will mark up the surface of the ipod. It's completely superficial, but if you plan on taking the ipod out of the case for a beauty show, you're not going to win. I ended up buying one of those stick-on decals that protect the surface of the ipod.
Second, the rubber stretches. Do NOT take your ipod out of the case (you're not winning any beauty shows) unless you really do need to, as the "mouth" around the screen will stretch out more and more.
All in all, a great case for people who favor safety over style. (Although the big mean industrial rubber look is a lot cooler than that crocheted sock thing your girlfriend puts her ipod in.)
