Rating  - Great case.
If your buying this case to protect your ipod touch from breaking when dropped this product is amazing but for Scratches. Its completely horrible. The case has put an amazing amount of scratches around the backing of the metal on my ipod and the case its self gets very scratched. Not the best case.
Rating  - WILL NOT FIT NEW IPOD TOUCH!!
Just got the new Ipod Touch (32 mb) today and went to Target to buy a good case. I picked up the Griffin iClear Hard-Shell Case and took everything home. After trying for a good 30 minutes to get the case on, I finally went to the Apple site and checked the depth of the new Touch. The new Touch has a depth of .33 (8.5m); whereas the old Touch's depth is 31 (8m). Yes, just that little amount of depth will render the case useless. Nowhere on the packaging for the case does it give the acceptable size for a good fit. And I thought I was getting a great deal because the case is on sale at Target for $10.00. Too bad it doesn't fit the new Touch. Beware if you're planning to buy any case for the Touch, make sure it says it will fit the new Ipod Touch. My next stop will be at the Apple store.
Rating  - Takes a licking...
This is really a nice protector for my IPOD Touch. I pondered the leather case, but I didn't want my system concealed. This product is made of a sturdy plastic that will protect it's contents. I've accidently dropped it a few times and was amazed that it maintained the system and did not split in two pieces. I do recommend the clear screen protectors for extra protection which if they do get scratched, you can easily slap on another one. The only drawback to this item in which I did not rate a five star is the dock connector opening. You can easily connect the USB cable to the IPOD with the case on however, I have to remove the case if I want to dock it to my IHome system. I do not know about other dockable systems however mine will not allow the IPOD to dock without removing the cover. I do recommend the product as I have had it 6 months and love it, coupled with the price...you can't go wrong.
Rating  - Clearly one of the best cases!
After visiting the local Apple store and seeing that they wanted $25-30 for iPod Touch cases, I decided to visit Amazon and see what they had to offer. I found the same Griffin iClear case for HALF the cost and when I saw that it had nearly a 5-star rating from over 25 people, I knew that was the case for me!
I've been very pleased with the iClear so far. It is an exact fit for my 8GB iPod Touch and adds minimal bulk to the dimensions. There is a generous slot at the bottom for a dock connector and headphones and I was even able to snap on my external mini-speakers. Some have complained that this case makes the sleep button at the top harder to push, but I find that it's actually easier for me to locate the button by running my finger along the top left corner and letting if slip right into the little recess in the case. It's almost like it lines your finger up!
Even the price wasn't good enough, the Griffin iClear even came with a clear screen protector film and a soft cloth for wiping finger prints. I recommend washing your hands really good and giving your iPod a thorough wipe down before encasing it in the iClear, because you probably won't be taking it out again, 'cept to change the screen protectors! Of course, if you don't want to even do that, get yourself an Invisible Shield protector.
