I got these shields for the iPod that we got our 10 year old son for Christmas. I figured that it might get some rough treatment and needed all the protection it could get! These were easy to apply and are actually pretty tough. My main concern was the screen, and it has been excellent protection. We did also get a silicone skin for the iPod, and it fits perfectly over these shields. I think we've done all we can to try to keep this iPod safe from accidents! As usual, Overstock was great to use for my purchasing!
