Customer Review: Not sure which case to get? Look no further!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my iPod touch and DLO case for about 3 weeks now. I'm very glad I went with this case! I researched a lot of cases and there are tons out there. I knew I wanted something to protect the screen, but was hesitant about getting those cheap plastic covers. Also, a friend has one of those hard clear cases for it and it has lots of dirt and stuff under it. It makes it look really dingy and gross.
The DLO case is great. It makes all the ports and buttons accessable. It feels nice and soft in my hands. The belt clips doesn't stick out too much so if you won't use it, it won't get in the way. I do wish it was removeable though. The front part easily flips behind the rest of the case so you can hold it without the front part getting in the way. The magnets hold it snugly in place, but they aren't as strong as a snap so don't expect miracles.
I'm glad I did my research before I bought this case. Read the reviews and decide if this is the case for you. It's certainly the one for me!

Summary: 3 Stars
Not saying that this product is bad for its price range, in fact it is fantastic. The case's cover is magnetically held down with just enough force for on the go. The only problem was the case does not old the iTouch in place when the cover is flipped open, which is very annoying when you are holding the iTouch in landscape mode while laying down or walking. Your bet is to buy an extra silicon case to protect the back from scratches and also hold the iTouch in place without slipping. Since the jiggling movement will put some scratches like it does for mine if your are that cautious, while the pouch will protect the screen. Like on the title of this review I have been using it for over a year now and it has only has some wear and tear of the edges with a few loose stitches, nothing too extreme. Overall I recommended for people with a low budget, but if you have the money, buy a leather case with higher quality. You have already invested in a $200 & up device, what's another $50 when spent protecting your investments.Customer Review: Revised review, now 4 stars
Summary: 2 Stars
My first reaction, and my two stars above, are partly my fault, for not reading the description carefully enough. This item has a large heavy clip to fit on one's belt. This makes the item too big and heavy for my purposes. I wanted a sleek, light, permanent case. This is not it.
The construction otherwise seems well done, although the leather does not look especially attractive.
Further positive comments: now that I am using it for what it it meant to be--a belt holder--I have gotten used to it, and LIKE IT VERY MUCH, and use it every day.
Some further downsides: the iPod touch must be taken out of the case to be charged , and sometimes it is difficult to accurately use the sides of the screen (e.g., to type letters at both extreme ends of the virtual keyboard, or to move the cursor to the left edge of the screen) due to the leather around it. But I suspect those problems are inherent in this class of cases, and one shouldn't blame this particular implementation.
Customer Review: Quality Case for the iPod Touch
Summary: 5 Stars
I just ordered this case with the new iPod Touch a few days ago. After using it for a brief period, I can say that I definitely am glad that I ordered this case.
The rich, soft leather looks and feels great with the added bonus of protecting your iPod Touch. The attached belt clip is very convenient for carrying around your iPod, and I'm glad they included it. The case is designed so that you can attach your USB cable and earphones without taking the iPod Touch out of the case. The front cover is held in place by magnets which works great and means you don't have any unsightly snaps or flaps to deal with. When you open the case the flap just swings around to the back and doesn't interfere with any operations you need to perform. It's thick enough, yet light, so that if you drop your iPod it will be well protected.
Bottom line is I recommend this case very highly. Don't bother with the cheap cases. You get what you pay for and I think this is good value for the money.
Customer Review: Good Case, But Could Be Better
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this case in January 2008 and it's now July 2008. The DLO case is sleek, sexy and pretty high quality. It does, however, have it's flaws. As at least one of reviewer mentioned, the case becomes loose after time and my iPod Touch does seem to slide around and sometimes slide right out of the case. This definitely is due to the leather just naturally stretching with time but probably should have been accounted for during the design of the product.
Secondly, the case scratches the back of the iPod. I now have a backside protector on my iPod but indeed this case scratches the backside of the player where the belt clip is attached seems to rub it just the right way and results in some pretty visible scratching. Of course this is due to the poor design of the iPod's backside that are used on a daily basis will indeed have a scratched backside.
I'm now looking for another case to replace the DLO...:) It was a good case but it's time for something new.
