Speck ToughSkin Rubberized Case for iPod nano 3G (Clear) Reviews

• Great product

  
  By ASO4SPWGM72FU on 2008-04-20
  I bought this to replace a hard shell plastic case for my 3G Nano and like it much better. The hard shell had popped open when I dropped the ipod which isn't a problem with this rubberized case. I also like the removable clip. I can use it to clip the ipod to my garment when I'm walking or running which eliminates the need for (and makes the ipod more accessible) than an armband. The included screen protector seems to be sturdy but clear and scratch proof -- I'm pretty rough with my ipod. I like this case better than a similar rubberized case that my husband has for his 60G. The bottom of his doesn't expose the ipod connector, plug and lock button -- you have to flip out the whole bottom section to connect it. It probably protects the connector better, but it's awkward to flip out. One possible problem with the Speck ToughSkin case bottom (as opposed to the flip out bottom) is that it might cause the ipod to sit too high on some speaker or other "plug in" accessories. On my speaker unit, I just removed the universal insert at the connector and it fit just fine.
  
  

• Tough protection for your iPod Nano 3rd gen.

  The "Tough skin rubberized case" is just that. Protective silicon rubber. A plastic cover protects the screen. All access points ie. dial, cord jack and ear bud jack are easily used. A small sore point would be getting your iPod in and out of your pocket. However, one wouldn't have to worry about it falling out accidentally.
  
  

• If you want tough, go Toughskin.

  I bought this product and wow, toughskin does not mess around when they make a "tough" product. the rubber case is very durable and protects every inch of the ipod, excluding the headphone jack and dock connector of course. this case also includes a screen protector that is very unique. It does not adhere to the ipod, on one side of the hard plastic screen it has a sort of rubber gasket that keeps it stuck to the ipod and the rubber case fits perfectly over the screen protector.
  
  i have dropped my ipod with this skin many a time. one time i was running through the city and it fell like five feet to the concrete pretty damn hard. i was heartbroken, however, there wasn't a blemish on the case or even the plastic belt clip that comes with the case (which is also awesome because it has a quick disconnect).
  
  The shock absorbtion on this case is impeccable, really it is. great buy and even worth the pricey 25 or so dollars. 5/5.
  
  

• The Best Protector for the iPod Nano

  
  By A3J9T84USTXM9Y on 2007-12-28
  So it's a little pricey for a piece of formed rubber, but when you consider that it INCLUDES a "real" screen protector, it's an investment worth making for these things Apple continues to miniaturize. I have the larger version for the iPod Video and it's been the best against gravity's pull - and saved it countless times. This one I'm sure will do the same. You can't go wrong with Speck, as I'm discovering - but c'mon! At these prices, a box of condoms is a bargain...
  
  

• Rugged ipod rubber case/skin

  
  By AFB55NMP19JXI on 2008-04-27
  We got this cover for our 9 year old's new ipod. We were searching for something strong and rugged. We hit the jackpot with this! It is clear (not crystal clear) so you can still see your ipod's color. It is really thick. It reminds me of tire treads. It is not rock hard...it is more like sturdy rubber. There is also a clear plastic rectangular piece that covers the screen. There really was not an explanation of how to insert this. But it isn't too hard to figure out. We put the rubber case over the ipod and then put the hard plastic piece in; it has never moved out of place at all. You can charge your ipod without taking off the cover as well. We are truly pleased with this case!
  
  
• One of the best!
  By AOP32JGFLIQ94 on 2008-02-09
  This product is probably the best case for the iPod Nano 3G. It fits nicely over the iPod and has a screen protector that works great. My only complaint is that I cannot attach my iTrip to it due to the thick rubber at the bottom. No worries, the case slides up a bit and now it works just fine! This product will not disappoint!

• Cheap way to protect your not-so-cheap iPod
  By A3VUPBQ0Q3QYJQ on 2008-10-02
  This casing has turned out to be exactly what I was looking for in terms of ipod protection, and I love that it also covers the screen - a feature that seems to set it apart from a lot of other products available. There is ample room for both the headphones and the charger cord so there's no need to remove the casing when you need to plug in (though, this wouldn't actually be so easy anyway, as it's so tight and pretty locked in there).
  
  It's ideal for throwing in a bag and hauling off to the gym, and the ultra thick rubber has absorbed the shock of some potentially damaging drops and oops moments I've had with my ipod so far.
  
  You get a lot of bang for your buck here - I'd definitely recommend this product.
  
  
• Keeps iPod very safe.
  By ARUNYA9BE14TI on 2008-10-24
  This case is excellent if you tend to be rough on your iPod. I run with mine and this case has protected it against dropping and moisture (both sweat and rain). It's a little bulkier than I had hoped, but that may be necessary to provide so much protection. I feel like you could do almost anything short of running over it with a car and it would be safe. The belt clip is handy for running, but when you remove the clip you still have the giant clip attachment thing sticking out. Another issue is that it is VERY difficult to get in/out of the case. I was hoping to switch my iPod between this case and my arm band, but it just takes way too much time/effort.
  
  I highly reccomend this prodcut if you want your iPod completely protected and don't plan to remove it from the case or fit it into a tiny pocket.
  
  
• Best cover out there....
  By A2GQBC78X4SFO on 2008-05-21
  I mainly use my ipod for my workout(so armband).... however, I discovered that it's easy to keep my 4 years old happy with kids podcast downloadswhenever there is wait. So I got this speck toughtskin which I feel now comfortable handing my ipod. It does the job and very light and soft in hand.
  
  
• Perfect protection
  By A17WOKJ82LG6HE on 2008-05-29
  I put this on my daughter's ipod nano and she LOVES it. Without this added protection, she would have ruined her iPod by dropping it or whatever. Very well designed!
  
  
• ToughSkin is an Excellent Case
  By A1GL9E48MZMCJO on 2008-06-19
  The ToughSkin iPod case is an excellent case for the ipod. My son is using the case and ipod and it has kept it safe from falls and other hard knocks in his pocket. It looks great. It's not too bulky and it protects the ipod.

• Consider Your iPod Protected
  By A38YQ7J9JORXVY on 2008-07-28
  This product is excellent in almost every way: construction, appearance, durability, and function. Once this sleeve is in place, you'd be hard pressed to scratch or bang up your iPod.
  
  My only "complaints": it was rather difficult to slide on (and will likely never come off, unless I cut it off), and the plastic window was a bit tricky to get into place.
  
  Otherwise, all access ports are, well, easily accessible. If you're on the fence, hop on over and pick this up!
