Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of DLO HipCase Leather Folio Case for iPod touch 1G, 2G, 3G (Black)
Customer Review: Not bad, could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
I just got this case, took about two weeks to ship with free shipping. It seems like a nice case, but my main concern is that the belt clip does not detach. Not sure why I thought it would, but it adds almost a half an inch to the thickness of the whole thing. If I had known, I would have gotten one without a belt clip. Otherwise, it's a nice case. Not sure how much I'll use it.Customer Review: Not So Great
Summary: 3 Stars
The DLO HipCase is OK, but not so great. I would not recommend this product if you have fat fingers and/or type a lot on your ipod.
PROS
----------------
The leather is nice.
The stitching on the one I received seems fine.
And, I like the fact that it flips open, because I feel like it offers nice protection for the ipod.
CONS
---------------
Unfortunately, (as another reviewer mentioned) the leather on the borders gets in the way and makes it difficult to type on the keyboard when the device is vertical. After a week of struggling to get the "p" key to work (on the edge of your Qwerty keyboard), I switched to a different case (Tumi T-Tech Hard Skin Case) and I now type with ease.
Customer Review: Wrong product received and BAD customer service from seller
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered two of these DLO HipCase Leather Folio cases along with my purchase of two 2nd gen iPod Touches for my sons, ages 10 and 8, all in the same order. The packaging for both was identical. But guess what? About 5 weeks after my sons have been using them, I find out from my younger son that his folio doesn't allow him to adjust volume without removing the iTouch from the case!
Turns out the two pieces I ordered were NOT identical: one had the openings in the proper top-left side (designed for the 2nd gen), allowing for volume adjustment with the iTouch holstered, while the other didn't! When I contacted eek Technology, they told me that since I'm bringing this to their attention after my 30 days are up, they cannot help me out in any way. I was stuck with one working and one folio/case that is a pain in the neck to use.
I contacted DLO, and they said the problem was that:
(a) either I made a mistake while ordering and ordered one for the 1st gen and for the 2nd gen (I didn't: I simply checked the quantities I wanted to receive during checkout), or
(b) with the seller, eek Technology: they probably had old stock on hand and shipped me one for the 2nd gen and one for the 1st gen. It isn't a defect with the case, per se.
Clearly, it is (b) above.
Beware of this seller - their customer service is terrible. I'm not as upset about losing out on $17 that I paid for this product as I am about the fact that eek Technology won't admit their shipping mistake and are simply trying to hide behind their standard "...our return policy is..." spiel. I will never buy from this seller (eek Technology) again.
I would recommend you study your order and check it immediately and thoroughly upon receipt - or you could face this problem, too. Others have been similarly duped with this purchase - read all other 1 and 2 star reviews carefully before purchasing this.
Lastly, the product description online as well as in my emailed receipt read "2 of DLO HipCase Leather Folio Case for iPod Touch 1G and 2G (Black)", making it sound like the same one will fit both the 1G and 2G. How was I to know one will be correct and one won't in the shipment I will receive? The design for the 1 Gen and 2nd Gen are NOT the same. BE CAREFUL! This is my first-ever negative shopping experience at Amazon.com since the 90's.
Customer Review: Great Case
Summary: 5 Stars
The DLO HipCase Folio Case fits the 16GB 2nd generation ipod touch like a glove and looks good as well as being functional. The description of the product was accurate and one of the main reasons I purchased the product. If you are looking for a case to protect your ipod Touch then look no further. Customer Review: High quality soft leather case. Very Satisfied.
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent case for the iPod Touch. Fits in perfectly with all controls easily accessible (volume controls, power button, stero jack, USB connector) without having to take out the iPod Touch. The flap protects the screen and has magnets inside to keep it closed. I highly recommend this leather case.
