Apple Leather Case for iPod

Fits My iPod Classic 80GB perfectly.

Written by NA from OSWESTRY

As the title says, this case fits my new Classic 80GB to a tee. However, at this price you buy at your own risk, I feel.

It certainly is the perfect, stylish and understated case for your precious iPod. That nice smell of quality leather and ease of operation. It slips in a pocket or bag adding very little bulk.

The price, as almost everyone else seems to point out, is phenomenally high. Perhaps there's some trade-secret in it's construction, I don't know, but it does seem hard to justify this price. Still, we are in a buyer's market so if you don't want to buy it there are plenty of other offerings to choose from.

Apple Leather Case for iPod

Good But Overpriced

Written by TS from Leeds

When I bought the Apple Leather Case for my IPOD, I thought it to be a good buy and it was. The strap to release your IPOD prevents you from leaving greasy marks on it. My 30GB IPOD fits snugly into the case easily and the inside is rather soft. I have noticed no scratches or marks on my IPOD since I bought it, a good case, but at £69 thats quite a lot of money don't buy unless serious about IPOD.

This is a superb cover for the 80GB classic - yes it IS a lot of money but it is without doubt the best quality bespoke case - it is superbly crafted, fits perfectly around the ipod and the ribbon pull is just sublime. Given that I watch videos on this (so the importance of a scratch-free screen is now imperative for me), I can't recommend this highly enough. Forget the cheaper 3rd party cases - this is the way to protect your ipod.

For those who prefer quality over price

Written by PU from eastbourne

Don't buy this if you're not into buying top quality expensive products. However, if like me you like the best and don't mind paying extra for it then this is definitely for you. It looks great, and offers fantastic protection for your iPod. Mine is as pristine as the day I bought it, with not a single mark on the highly polished back. This is due entirely to this case. However, what I like best about it is that there are no cheap looking 'windows' on it, which typically mean operating your iPod while it stays within the case. What's the point of keeping a beautiful iPod locked away in a cheap case? With this case you have to get the iPod out to operate it, giving you the opportunity to enjoy it's form and beauty every time.

It's a great looker, protects the iPod and barely adds any size to it.

sure, some might mock the price, and i'd prefer it to be say, £50, but I can get over it considering i'm getting a lot of use out of it.

Overpriced

I just think its a silly price. Its "budget airline" thinking; keep the price of the main product as low as you can but then fleece the punters on the accessories. Well not this punter!

Apple Leather Case for iPod

pricey...but classy

I bought my 30gb ipod in Argos and had reserved the case too. However, as I was entering my pin number into the debit card machine I actually paused and thought.. "What am I doing spending this much on a case????". As there was a queue building up behind me I went ahead and bought it thinking that I could return it as it's from Argos. But you know what? I absolutely love it! How smug will you feel when you get your shiny new ipod out of this luxurious case and people say "Wow!"- then they want one and ask for details ..."Where did you get that?", "How much was it?", and you know that they will end up with a case from Currys (not that I am slating cases from Currys-I used to have one for my Nano!).The very large price just makes it worth the price-if you get me?! You become part of an elite group of very fortunate and classy music lovers!

it is a very nice case. bought it after my old 30GB video got destroyed to the point that i couldn't watch videos because of scratches. decided to protect my 80gb.

however the apple store is ridiculously overpriced. you can get this same case (genuine) on ebay for £30 and the £20 isocks cost about £5. avoid this store

Hilariously Overpriced

Written by JM from WELWYN GARDEN CITY

It's a slip case, that's all it does. It doesn't add features, or offer that much protection. Spend £40 on upgrading your iPod in your basket to the next model up and grab a cheaper case for it, it's a better investment than this.

Quality at a heavy Price

Written by JR

Nov 15, 2006

I have the 30 GB iPod case and i think it looks superb and would have recieved 5 stars had it been priced at around £30 - £45. For this reason I don't understand why it is priced so high and I think apple have lost a lot of sales due to the price of it.

However it is a high quality case.

Overall the price is too mucha and unless you have got money to burn then don't buy it!

Nice case but...

Written by DT from Poulton-le-Fylde

Oct 18, 2006

I cannot disagree that this is a lovely case and perfectly designed for the ipod with a good deal of practicality, spiced up with a dash of style... however, as with the majority of Apple's products is is vastly overpriced for what you receive. Not everyone has the expendable budget of a multi-millionaire, and asking well over £50 for what in essence is just a case, seems more than a little insulting.

Fantastically Good Case

Written by OK from GREENHITHE

I bought this case, as so many others have done, as it's the only "genuine" case for the 5th Generation iPod. The iPod fits perfectly within, is very well protected and has meant I've still got a new-looking iPod 7 months on! If it was cheaper I'd have given it 5 stars but it's arguably good value because it does EXACTLY what it's designed to do. The leather still looks great, too! Would heartily recommend to anyone with a 5th Generation iPod.

Apple Leather 30gb Case

Written by LH from Birkenhead

Sep 9, 2006

I have to say well done to apple this is a superb case, excellent quality throughout. It fits the 30gb ipod perfectly and the ribbon is a great feature eneabling you to access your ipod with ease.

The only gripe i have is the fact that to be able to use the apple fm radio remote you have to put the ipod in upside down which is abit of a nuisance. A hole in the bottom would be good for any accessories which have the dock connector.

The price is also very steep just for a case. I feel it should be around the £40 to make it more accessible to everyone's budget.

Which is why i have given it 4 stars. An excellent product all round that oozes quality.

Re-assuringly expensive

I have had a couple of cases before taking the plunge with this one...I am so glad I did.

It fits like a glove and keeps your pod snug and secure.

It hasn't got a viewing/clickwheel opening, so what! This is pure styling and protection in one lightweight, discrete cover.

A must for any discerning Ipod owner...

Apple Leather Case for iPod

A luxury item

Written by GE from London

Jun 14, 2006

I recently bought one of these for my new iPod and must say that I'm extremely happy with it. I've previously bought three different cases and two of them actually scratched my old iPod! Others complain that you can't get to the controls or view the screen when it's in the case - but why dress your iPod up like an astronaut in a case that looks like a recycled trainer- it's a tactile thing and fingers won't hurt it! Ok - this case is crazily overpriced but the leather is top quality and I imagine Jonathan Ive enjoyed matching it to the upholstery of his Aston Martin!

Apple Leather Case for iPod

Style over substance?

Written by MP from GLOUCESTER

May 14, 2006

Like most things designed/built by Apple, this product is beautiful to look at/use, the zenith of minimalist aesthetics, but well well overpriced. Before you take the plunge ask yourself one question; if they took off the logo would you still be willing to pay the asking price?
