Reviews for iSkin evo3 Duo for iPod classic (Eclipse Black)

This is one of the poorest designs I've encountered. The previous case I bought was great -- the iPod loaded from the top and had a secure belt clip -- I used it until it wore out. I replaced it with this: you have to load the iPod through an opening where the screen is and then put a piece of rigid plastic into the opening afterwards and fit the material around it. It's a pain if you want to take the iPod out after walking to load it onto a docking station. That's bad enough, but the third time I used it I took it off my belt to change the playlist as I was walking and when I went to replace it on my belt, the clip was gone. Apparently, the clip somehow rotated out of the plastic disc on the back and fell out. I backtracked, but could not find the clear plastic clip. I called Apple and they have no replacement clip. So, now I have a $40.+ case that I cannot use, nor can I return it. I am so disgusted with this design, especially since the original one I bought was excellent.

the best ipod classic cover ever

I thought it was a GREAT case for protecting the I Pod, but then I couldn't use it on my dock to listen to music unless I took the cover off, which is a lot of work. I use my I Pod while on a treadmill and then like to come home and listen to music on my Bose dock, so will return the case to one easier to take off.

This case will not only protect your Ipod Classic 7th Gen 160G (2009), but it will make it look 5 times cooler. Best of all, the click wheel does not get covered at all. The only minor gripe is getting it in the case. I have not tried to dock it, but even if I did, I know how to get it in and out of the case within a few minutes.

I just purchased this cover for my brand new Ipod Classic (7th generation). The website doesn't state it will work with the most recent model but I had no problem getting the ipod to fit inside the skin. The case almost doubles the thickness of the ipod itself. All of the ports (power,headphone, and Lock) are still easily accessible when the cover is on I do not own a dock so I cannot comment on if it will dock with the skin on but I doubt it. The plastic front is quite thick which will help in case there are any accidental drops. The case does not limit your use of the click wheel. The clip is easily removable as I had no need for it. The only negative thing about the case is that it does collect very small bits of dust and dirt. I have only owned it for a few days so hopefully over time it wont attract as much. But it doesn't have that "brand new" look. The ipod looks beautiful by itself but the case is a necessity.

I had gotten myself an iPod Classic 160 GB a few months ago and have been looking for a nice looking and functional case to protect it. I came across this iSkin and read the reviews about how great it is and decided to buy it. It came in the mail a few minutes ago and I LOVE it! The styling is awesome, you can use every port without taking off the case, the click wheel is accessable, and being able to take off the clip is another huge bonus. Look no longer for another case. This is the best case you can get!

Good case, and the window for the clickwheel is good. The only downside is removing the cover (for runners like me, for instance), which, if you do a lot, gets easier. Great for walkers and hikers.

It aint pretty, but it is the best case available. I'm relieved to see that they have re-instated production for the slimmer iPod Classic. I've had the same one for years (literally) for the thicker iPod models (old 80/160GB) and have only recently managed to scratch the front cover with a drop in some gnarly gravel. Still reveal a shiny, brand new looking iPod every time the mood strikes to pull it out. My iPod is a utility for me, traveling the globe and doubling as a backup hard drive, so I need something sturdy to protect those precious bytes... This is the only case you'll ever need (trust me, I've done my research on cases).

It is a pain to put on and take off, but why would you want to do that anyhow? huh?

Just got my case in the mail today and have to say that I really REALLY like it. I was kinda worried about the whole silicone layer that supposedly covers the click wheel and causes sensitivity trouble that I've seen comments about, but thankfully nothing covers the click wheel at all, not even the clear plastic shield, so navigation is no problem whatsoever. I'll never have to take this out of the case EVER because all ports are accessible. The case's clear shield is really scratch proof, I just tested it, and there's no problems of dust getting inside even after you take the belt clip off because there's a little silicone disk inside that covers up the two holes. I thought I would have at least one complaint about it as I usually do with everything else, but I can't find any. Well, one little minor thing is that the hold switch is a teensy bit more difficult to click over than if it were out of the case, but I almost never use the hold feature so it's absolutely no big deal. I was also worried about it being bulky like alot of other cases, but this thing is not bulky at all. Not even a tad. Simply put, awesome case and it might be a bit pricey for a case in my opinion, but it is SO worth the price now that I have it. No longer am I worried about dropping and breaking my iPod or scratching the screen and body up with my car keys in my pocket or something.
