Customer Review: Having trashed everything from a temperature gauge to a documentary here
Summary: 5 Stars
it's a pleasure to recommend something without reservation. This study little thing does what it was designed to. It obviously had more than a little thought put into it and possesses none of the usual defects of small, cheap, once in a lifetime purchases. Let me assure those put off by a negative review or two that the thing fits my 2G ipod nano perfectly, not too tight when I put it on, not so loose that later adjustment is necessary. The plastic screen protector is just fine: what do some of these reviewers expect, leaded crystal? Heated washer nozzles? The belt clip is a little large but you can take or leave it: the male attachment on the cover itself is seriously and reassuringly strong but can be removed easily if you take the nano out first. If you were actually to use it to attach your nano to your belt (you dork) you would be dissatisfied in the end with anything smaller. True, it doesn't spontaneously compose continental philosophy or function very well as a sex toy. But if you want something to protect your nano the thing can't be beat. Oh, I have no idea who the manufacturers are, the reviews were positive so I clicked.Customer Review: Rugged iPod Skin
Summary: 4 Stars
Let me put this simply. I was walking out of my room on the second floor, and my ipod was in this case when it slipped off of the books I was carrying. It fell through the stair railing and smacked into the hard wood floor one story down and bounced twice before coming to a stop. I ran down to rescue my precious ipod, and when I pushed the play button, it turned on as if nothing happened! I continued listening to it that whole day and it was perfectly fine!
I keep my ipod in my backpack along with other school supplies that always bounce around and scuff each other. This skin is very durable and easily protects against all that. Though I recommend this skin for anyone who travels a lot with their ipod, I must say there is one down to it. The part that attaches to the belt clip has a large plastic disk on the inside that rubs against the back of the ipod. This eventually leaves an ugly imprint. Therefore, if you buy this product, either take the plastic ring out, or put something soft between the unit and the ring to prevent the damage.
I love this thing!
Customer Review: Great for a while...
Summary: 3 Stars
Fair warning, if you are one of those tight-butt and elitist Apple/Mac snobs who take pride in the stainless steel reflection of your ipods... this product is NOT for you. The smears it causes are difficult to get off. I don't care that much... the ipod still does what I bought it for.
However, after a few months of taking it in and out (because it won't fit in any ipod appliances with it on), the rubber loses shape and the protective screen begins slipping and moving around. That's why I gave it just three stars. It won't last more than 6 months.
On the bright side, aside from perhaps stabbing it with a knife, your ipod is safer in this rugged protector than in anything else on the market. I've dropped it from on top of the stairs and it protected my ipod. I don't suggest you do this, but if there is an accident, this gives your bank account the best chance of recovering.
Customer Review: Good product, would be better with a couple of changes.
Summary: 4 Stars
The ToughSkin does a good job of protecting my Nano. It is a tight fit, so it was a little difficult to put on and take off (if you need to take it off for any reason). The screen protector isn't glued in to the jacket (by design or because it was poorly attached) and it kept falling out as I was trying to put my iPod in. Because of this, I had fingerprints on the inside fo the screen protector so I had to take it all out, clean it, and work to get it put back in. But once it's all in, it's a nice tight fit. The navigation wheel isn't protected which is nice when you're using it, but doesn't protect the wheel from being scratched.
The jacket also changed the way the base fits into my docking station so that was kind of a pain, but I was able to take out the platic docking piece and the Nano fits just fine.
Overall I'm happy with the product and would buy it again.
Customer Review: I love the ToughSkin!
Summary: 5 Stars
I leave my Nano in the ToughSkin pretty much all of the time.
It is very protective, and makes the nano a little bit larger, which feels better in my hand. It comes with an optional built-in belt clip, which is how I usually secure it when I'm walking or running. I've used the belt clip to attach it to my waist, my pocket, and to my knapsack. It has worked well for all of the above.
The belt clip has an easy to use quick release mechanism, which I often use to see what the display says, when I want to choose a new song/podcast to listen to.
Nothing covers the wheel, so the controls work normally.
At the bottom, the ToughSkin is open, so I can plug it in to my computer, or plug the Nike+iPod device without having to remove the ToughSkin.
Overall, I'm *very* happy with it.
