Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of DLO Jam Jacket Case with Cord Management and Surface Shields for iPod touch 1G (Black)
Customer Review: Pros and Cons
Summary: 5 Stars
I bouth this case a month ago when I bought my ipod touch from amazon.
Pros:
-Case fits perfectly and is very easy to put on.
-Casing is very good and grippy, extra corner protection is good
-Still slides into my shirt or pants pocket fairly easily, with only sligh resistance
-Screen protector is easy to apply if put on carefully, and if the ipod's screen is cleared of dirt or dust first. Air bubbles are easily avoidable
-Cord management system in back fits APPLE IPOD EARBUDS perfectly, as well as keeps them in while it is in a pocket.
-Multi-function touch screen on the ipod is unaffected by the case or screen protector
-Easy and clear acess to charger port and headphone jack
-Screen protector is easily cleaned by whiping it off
Cons:
-Will not fit in normal ipod touch doc, case must be removed (Which is not to difficult)
-The cord management is designed for only the APPLE IPOD EARBUDS, and will most likely not fit any other type as well, or even at all.
Overall:
Great product, I am completely satisfied. It has everything that I would want out of a case, plus more. If you do not use the APPLE IPOD EARBUDS then chose one of the following options...
---TRY THEM: I first tried these headphones when i got my ipod touch and I am very pleased, they are comfortable, have a good cord, and good sound quality.
---BUY IT ANYWAY: Even though you do not like to use the ipod earbus, you can still use our own, and possible try to utilize the cord managment system. If they don't fit at all, then you have it incase you ever decided to use apple earbus, or you have to deal with a little extra bulk on a fairly good case
---DONT BUY IT: Other headphone brands will most likely not fit at all. There are many other ipod touch cases out there of similar quality, so go after one of those.
Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I definately needed a case for my touch. I carry it in my purse so i didn't want things like pencils and keys scratching it up. Plus I had one for my nano and it worked really well. It's also good because my fingers tended to sweat when i held it for too long. The picture made this case look really bulky to me but it's actually not. I got the clear case and though the picture makes it look like solid white, it really is clear.
Surface Shields
Like most of you it took a little while for me to get the surface shields on but you're gonna have that with other surface shields. I couldn't get all the dust off of my touch but the air bubbles don't really bother me. I used the credit card idea to smooth it. Once I got it on, the actual case was very easy to put on.
Cord Management
It is for ipod earphones but I use them anyway. If I'm walking in the cold my ears start hurting so I use old school headphones. but I don't keep them with my touch anyway. I didn't have any trouble winding it. I started with the earphones plugged into the touch and started winding on the left side. Then I used the little notches on the side and it was easy to get the earphones in. Finally I disconnected the earphone jack and slid it in.

For those of you whose earphones broke when taking them out, if you take them out at an angle instead of pulling them straight out, it's impossible for them to break.
Case
This case feels really nice and doesn't block the wifi connectivity. I also like the fact that it's got thicker corners and good grips. When the touch is turned sideways, I can hold it by the case management which was really helpful when I was using the AeroGuitar app. I don't use a dock so I can't say much about that.
Customer Review: DLO makes great accessories
Summary: 5 Stars
I just recieved my IPOD Touch from Apple and saw immediately that it needed some protection. I went to Amazon and looked at the different options and opted for the Jam Jacket.
I was not disappointed. I have some other DLO products and have always been impressed with both the products and the customer service. The Jam Jacket fits perfectly on the touch and gives me exactly what I need. I substituted my IPAQ for the Touch, well because the Touch is infinitely cooler and easy to use. I use it for work to keep appointments and contacts, so I always have it with me. I usually just keep it in my shirt pocket all day, pulling it in and out to schedule things and make calls. The Jam Jacket barely increases the size and but adds some adhesion to the Touch so that it does not fall out of my pocket.
At first I thought that I would not like the ear bud holder b/c, as others have noted, I don't generally use the buds but opt for in the ear style headphones. However, the Jam Jacket stores the ear buds so neatly and compactly that I now carry the buds with me all the time so I have my movies and music always available. In my opinion, the Touch is so small to begin with, adding a little bulk to store the ear buds is worth it.
BTW, the screen shield that ships with the Jam Jacket is a must. It is easy to install, just be sure that you clean the Touch and wash your hands before you put it on. Frankly, I don't even notice that the screen has a protector on it. Also the screen covers the entire front of the Touch while leaving a hold for the "home" button.
So bottom line is that I think this is great product and I highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Excellent protection, storage and styling. Great price too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't normally go out of my way to write a review. After all, it takes away from my valuable time shopping for myself on Amazon. I did feel the need to give this one a great review. When I was hunting for a case/protection for my new iPod Touch, it was difficult to find anything that first, was available and second, wasn't made of ultra-hard plastic. I wanted a "skin" that would prevent my iPod from sliding and would be easy to remove if needed. The DLO Jam Jacket was just the thing. Here's why: 1) The skin slips on very easily and fits snug. 2) Offers storage for the Apple stock headphones unlike any other case -- a perfect fit with no winding your headphones around your screen. 3) Comes with a self-adhering plastic screen protector but you MUST be patient when applying this. Go slowly and use the card that comes with it to remove air bubbles if they occur. 4) The rubber isn't cheap like others. It is a nice sturdy rubber that will last. You can even remove it if you need to wash it with mild soap and water. 5) Perfect for setting your iPod Touch on your dash or a slick surface as it won't slide away. Same with the inside of your jacket pockets. 6) I know it wasn't designed for this, but it actually can kind of stand up on a slight tilt when watching videos because the rubber cord manager on the back protrudes a bit so when you set it on a flat surface it naturally tilts up. --- One bad thing but not a deal killer: The only change I would make, if the manufacturer is reading this, is that it doesn't quite fit the stand-up Apple dock connector, but if you don't mind just plugging it in using the standard USB or Firewire connector then you're fine. I am very anal with this stuff. ---Customer Review: Slim and Sleek
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the DLO Jam Jacket about 2 weeks ago and I have found it a really great accessory to my iPod Touch. The headphones holder in the back is a great addition to the product and has come in handy especially for when I just want to surf the net with the Touch and not have the headphones flying around everywhere, but they're still neatly attached the back of it.
One of the things I was concerned about while ordering it online was that it would be bulky and really either weight the Touch down or make it harder to fight my pocket. However the Jacket has a really amazing design and doesn't add much to the size of the Touch at all besides the back portion for the headphones.
The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of three was because of the plastic screen you get to cover the LCD. While it was has never been a problem functionally or cleaning wise, it is a bit of a pain to put on. I would suggest making sure that both surfaces are completely clean before applying the plastic screen on, and also that you apply it in the middle and push the air outwards. I got a few bubbles in it and some that won't come out because there is actually a little piece of something (lint or something) between the Touch and the plastic screen. This can also be annoying and ugly to the eye.
However, all in all I'm and extreme glad I purchased it and would recommend that you get one for yours.
