Customer Review: DLO Jam Jacket With Cord Management & Surface Shields - A Good Standby Case
Summary: 4 Stars
DLO Jam Jacket with Cord Management and Surface Shields for iPod touch (Black)
The DLO Jam Jacket case protects your iPod Touch media player while providing a "wire Management" area on the back of the skin to hold your headphone wires while not in use.
Pros
+ Nice durable silicon case protects your iPod Touch with minimal dust attraction
+ Included surface shields give you one less thing to purchase, great value!
+ Price is very attractive - Half of the Speck Toughskin
+ Rear cord management let you store your in-ear headphones neatly
+ Cord management area adds less bulk than other cord management cases
+ Hole for attachment of loop for case lanyard
Cons
- Case design requires removal for use with most iPod docks
- Cord management area designed for Apple style in-ear headphones; most others won't fit
- Few options for connecting case via belt clips or arm bands
- Silicon is somewhat slippery and very thin compared to other thicker cases like the Speck Toughskin
This is a great overall case to protect your player. The wire management feature adds only moderate thickness to it, certainly less than wire management areas on similar cases I've bought owned. Having wire management integrated with your case is a big advantage. And if you use the standard iPod headphones, or ones with the same form factor, this is probably one of the best cases for you. Still, some will opt to get separate wire winders for their phones and different cases, and here's why.
These days most people are replacing their included headphones. Some iPod reviewers state with no hesitation, "just pay $300 to get decent headphones once you buy your iPod." I personally like Apple's included headphones and think they should be sufficient for basic users. The cord management area is designed for headphones shaped like Apple's. 90% of all other headphones simply won't fit into the included phone holes.
The other major issue with this case is dock compatibility. Some have pointed out the case may prevent easy use with car mounts. But I was more surprised that the thick bottom corners prevented easy loading in my top down iPod dock even though the area around the port is open. Most of my silicon cases for other iPods have allowed me to use open iPod docks with the cases on, which is a huge timesaver. This design could have used just a little more tinkering. Even thick silicon cases can be made to work easily with top down (open) iPod docks.
The case does have some design pluses. The thick corners are nice, and the design does include a good "home button" area and a hole for the light sensor. The hole on the cord management area is designed to accept a clip for a lanyard so you can carry the case around your neck. This hole is not meant for your headphone cord. :-)
The comparison that has to be made is with the Speck Toughskin, which doesn't include the wire management but does have thicker silicon and a less slippery grip. It has much thicker edging too and provides slightly better protection if that is your primary concern. If you can do without wire management, you probably want to check out the Speck. Speck ToughSkin Rubberized Case for iPod touch (Black)
DLO's case does beat Specks on cost though at about half the price.
If you need a case till you test drive what else is out there, this is a great value and should definitely be on your list.
Happy shopping!!!

Description of DLO Jam Jacket Case with Cord Management and Surface Shields for iPod touch 1G (Black)
The DLO Jam Jacket with earbud management is a superior no-slip silicone case that adds a grippable layer of protection to your iPod touch.

It's a Wrap!
Tired of dealing with tangled cords and dangling earbuds? The Earbud Management System on the back of the Jam Jacket allows you to neatly wrap the cord behind your iPod and safely stow your iPod earbuds while not in use. When it's time to jam, unwind only as much as you need--the handy side-notches will hold the cord in place, keeping the excess cable wrapped and out of your way.
Total Protection + Access
Jam Jacket protects your iPod touch body while the included DLO Surface Shield adds an invisible layer of protection to your multi-touch display. And unlike some cases out there, the Jam Jacket provides an opening for the ambient light sensor--meaning this case won't interfere with your iPod functionality like others that obscure the sensor. The Jam Jacket also features access to the iPod dock connector, so you can use your favorite charger or car accessory while your tunes stay protected.
Go ahead, slip the Jam Jacket onto your iPod touch for grippable protection and headphone management in one unique case.
