Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of DLO Jam Jacket Case with Cord Management and Surface Shields for iPod touch 1G (Black)
Customer Review: Good, although quite big
Summary: 4 Stars
I got my DLO Jam Jacket today, and overall it seems quite good. The ipod slips quite well into the pocket, and the included shield seems to do its job. Getting it on was quite tricky (little air bubbels form if you aren't careful), so I would recommend using something to slowly push it down (I used an eraser put in a piece of tissue paper). The shield also feels
In terms of access, the case is really good. The home button is now even easier to hit than without the case due to the extra little bump in the case, and the power switch is still fairly accessible. The cable is still easily insertable, and the headphone jack is still open. If you have a pair of headphones with a big plug, it might not fit perfectly, but the silicone jacket is very flexible and will easily move out of the way.
The only thing I have against this jacket is the size of the cable management system. It seems to do its job, but it is very bulky, and it turns the very thin ipod into a thick block. It does seem to do well in terms of keeping the cable in.
Summary:
Pros:
- Fits well.
- Easy access to the switches and ports.
- Shield does not detract from the usability of the ipod.
- Cord management works (for the regular earbuds).
Cons:
- Big and bulky.
- Cord management can be quite tedious (although this is of course expected).
Customer Review: ALWAYS USE PROTECTION!
Summary: 4 Stars
Ok you just dropped $$ on an ITOUCH. You might think about getting some protection for it before you Destroy it as it scratches pretty easily. I bought some of the thinner Silicone protectors and they seemed pretty flimsy. Note: this is basically another Silicone Sleeve, and not a harder plasstic case, which for some reason I thought that is what I was buying. However, we are pretty happy with this one as it has a bit more heft to it and its thick around the corners, which is probably were the most damage would take place if ya dropped your I TOUCH.
The Cord Wrap thing in the back of it is Handy of you are still using the extremely painful ITOUCH Earphones. We upgraded to the BOSE ones, and if you did too be warned as they dont fit forementioned cord wrappy thingy.
The Surface Protector works pretty well. Just make sure your Screen is Nice and DUST free before you lay it over, as if you don't you will get little tiny airbubbles over your Screen face. The Trick to laying those on it to start at a Corner, make sure its straight, then lay it down slowly in a rolling motion Followed by pressure with a soft cloth to get the air out. Roll towards the Far opposite Corner.
Overall, Happy with the product. Shame it doesnt come in other colors, but its done a great job keeping the ITOUCH safe.

For those of us who have and Ipod touch, it is a necessity to take care of our ipod, nurish it and raise it with good values so that it can become a fine ipod.
Nahh seriously, it is a must, to have some kind of protection for any Ipod. They scratch very easily. And this Ipod in particular, has a glass screen for the touch part; which means that any sustantial impact (like dropping the Ipod) will break the glass.
This silicon protector does a good job reducing the risks of breaking the glass screen. It also comes with a screen protector which is basically a rectangular piece of hard plastic with a side that sticks to the Ipod Touch's screen. It has a circular hole for the home button.
Before putting the screen protector, try to clean the screen of the Ipod so that you don't trap any bubbles. And like D. Farley said, if you have any bubbles, put tape on the sticky side of the screen protector to remove dust or hair and your Ipod will be bubble free.
The cord management is great to attach the cable of the earphones. But the circular slots for the earpieces only work with the type of earphones that come with the Ipod.
Customer Review: Not so great

I just got this and I wish I hadn't. My iPod brand headphones don't stay in the attached storage area (I have to use a rubber band). The included screen saver would be great if the stickers they use to help you peel the backing off would not stay on permanently. I have tried to get the front sticker off but the adhesive goo stayed behind and now there is a sticky smudge left in it's place and a bunch of scratches due to me trying to scrape it off. Also I'm used to sliding my iPod into one of the pockets in my purse but because of the rubber it does not slide. That feature might be great for other people but it doesn't really fit my needs. I would have gotten a different case, with a clip, (some women's pants have no pockets to hold anything like an iPod) if I had known how poorly designed the headphones holder really was and that I also wouldn't be able to see part of my screen due to the sticker residue. Otherwise, the iPod Touch itself fits really well into the case and the control buttons are accessible and like one poster said, the headphone holder can be used as a stand to view your content in the horizontal position (but that's all it's good for).Customer Review: Great case for your ipod touch
Summary: 5 Stars
I would recommend this case for anyone with a touch who uses the Apple earbuds. The materials seem to be high quality and protect the entire touch very well except for the screen which the included screen shield takes care of. I did have some difficulty applying the screen shield and tried to wipe some dust off the sticky side with a paper towel, which essentially ruined the shield. The company was nice enough to send me a couple free replacement shields though, this time I will use Scotch tape as another reviewer recommended if the shield gets dust on it during application.
The rear headphone storage does add some depth to the unit but I don't mind it. It is a nice solution to keeping the earbuds at hand without wrapping them around the whole ipod which blocks the screen for when you want to just check email etc. Unfortunately my Shure earbuds don't fit in the slots and the whole (thick) cord doesn't even fit on the cord storage reel. Still a great cord management solution if you use stock earbuds.
