Customer Reviews

A bit dissapointed by Michail Charitopoulos
When i received my product i was a bit dissapointed by the velcro opening.The product image is a bit deceiving and personaly,I thought the opening was a magnetic one.From my experience,velcro openings wear out fast and if I knew about it,I probably wouldn’t have purchased this product.Gives the hole product a rather “cheap” look

Great looks and protection by Christopher Brown
I looked around the plethora of all the touch cases. This one provides the needed protection for keeping your touch from being knocked around in your pocket. The embossed pattern in the leather is well done. It does slide a bit over the headphone jack but nothing a finger push to adjust won’t fix.

I have gotten several comments about how good it looks. Imagine for the cost of the cheap looking plastic case you can have a professional looking leather case.

Lots of compliments by L. Collins
Very nice and trendy looking Folio! I’ve received lots of compliments and envy. The velcro closure is probably the worse feature. Perhaps a magnetic closure would have been better. The loud velcro isn’t condusive for an office environment.

3.5 stars - Nice looking, not so nice functionality by P. Doscher
I have been using this case for my ipod for a couple weeks now, and I have mixed thoughts on it. A lot of other reviewers have hit the major points with the case, both the pros and the cons.

The biggest thing that this case has going for it is the look. The leather look is very nice, and Belkin knows style, at least with this folio. The folio also is fairly well constructed, though not perfect. But for for 15-20 dollars, one can’t really complain about slightly imperfect construction. The imperfections include things such as loose threads, and a crooked logo on the inside. You’d think these wouldn’t be too hard to get right, but when pumping out in mass quantities, you’re getting what you pay for.

The negative parts of this case: primarily its functionality. The first and foremost thing, as anyone who glances at this case can attest to, is that there is no music control when the case is closed. But you know what you are buying when you get this case, and someone who buys this folio shouldn’t expect control when it’s closed. This has been hinted at my another reviewer who stated it is near impossible to use this case while driving, which is true. The second fault is the velcro enclosure. Be aware when buying this case that it may actually come with a velcro strap on it (mine did) that hooks to the back of the case. This strap is annoying, and a lot of the time doesn’t like to stick. A few other design issues - there is no hole for the ambient light sensor, making the auto brightness unusable. The last thing is that the strap on the bottom of the case is a bit too wide, sometimes covering the headphone port. Not a big deal, just nudge it out of the way, but a minor inconvenience.

The case comes with a screen protector that is nice and glossy, but not smudge free, and has to be cleaned fairly regularly.

Overall, buy it for the look, and not for the functionality. There are more functional cases, but if you’re worried about the look of your touch, or if you’re going to be throwing your ipod in a bag and not actively changing tracks while listening, this should be a good case for you.
