Another great product from Griffin Technology. The iClear iPod case is an excellent case. ItŐs made out of tough polycarbonate material which can stand up to damage of falls or hits. I was very pleased with the iClear. The review will be for the video iPod, but there is an iClear for Nanos as well. When you buy the iClear for video iPod, you get the 30 GB and the 60 GB backing, so it all comes in one package.
There are two parts to the case that snap together. The front is the same for both the 30 GB and the 60 GB, but the back is different. The suggested method to open the case is to stick a coin in the notch in the case and turn. The case will pop open. The case protects the screen of your iPod and leaves the click wheel open, so you can still use it. My screen looked pretty good before I put it into the case and the case looks like itŐs been scratched. I havenŐt had any problems so far. The case feels comfortable when you hold it and it doesnŐt feel like rubber. ItŐs not slippery and it just works.
I only had two problems with the case. I have a headphone splitter and the headphone hole on the top of the case is too small to fit in. I think they should make the hole a bit bigger to accommodate for other accessories. Also, the bottom of the case is wide open. This allows the bottom to be scratched. If the case is on, you canŐt use the universal dock. Either make the case able to use the dock or put more protection there, but leave a space for the iPod connector cable.
Overall, this is an excellent case for your iPod and for $20 USD, itŐs a steal. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a case for their iPod. Great work Griffin!
