This little thing was PERFECT for protecting my iPod while I am running around - as a college student I always seem to be on the run and I never know what bag, pocket or book it is going to get tossed in next. I have worn through two other cases until I found this baby which is thick enough to be durable but stretchy enough for me to take my iPod in and out as I need. It came with an easy remove screen cover as well, which is wonderful!! The only downside to this product is that I cannot use it with any upright stereo, including my car adapter as the bottom is too thick to allow the connector to plug in all the way. I can charge it just fine as the charger is just a wire, not a plate that the iPod slips into but its a little troublesome taking the iPod in and out of the cover so I can use it with any stereos. All the same, an excellent item at a great price!
