Offers protection but not practicality March 14, 2008

If it wasn't for the fact that this was a gift I would probably have changed it by now.
The positive points about this item are that it protects your ipod from scratches and annoying fingerprints and grease marks. I pod fits in snugly, with easy access to the wheel and clear vision of the screen. The headphone hole is slightly off-centre, so any non-Ipod earphones are really pushed to the edge of the hole. The area for your Ipod USB cable is easily accessible, but only for the USB charger/cable...more on that below.
The negatives are that the flip top is impractical in the sense of when you want to play a game or watch a video, you can't just flip it over and play, you have to take out your headphones first, flip it over and then plug the headphones back in. There is a belt clip that works quite well and is apparently movable to another position. I can see where the second position is but can't work out how to release the clip to move it.
The about complaints are tolerable, however the thing that bothers me most is that I have a Griffin Itrip so that I can tune the Ipod into my car radio, however Griffin never designed these two products for compatibility. While the Ipod is in the Griffin case, the Griffin Itrip will not fit into the Ipod! Instead I have to take the Ipod out and put it back into the case upside down...which then makes the Ipod wheel in accessible for anyone in the car wanting to change the tracks.
For a company that has a chain of products for use with the Ipod, do be careful as compatibility between products is non-existent.
In all, the product does the job just as long as you don't want to be using any add-ons while keeping the Ipod clean in a case.
