He claimed that all his customers have been satisfied, but I know he might have been yanking my chain to make a sale. I came home and read some good reviews, so I decided to give it a try. (Plus, I got this case for only $22 whereas it's about $35 in-store.) <br /> <br />The back of the case is hard plastic, so it's a bit shiny. I actually found that it's not slippery, so I'm quite pleased with it. I love the color as well. The case covers the volume and off buttoms on the side and top of the iPod; the case does have raised areas of different color so it is obvious where the buttons are. I actually really like the feel of the buttons, perhaps even moreso than without the case. <br /> <br />The case comes with a screen protector. It was easy to apply after I used the included microfiber cloth to clean the screen for a good 5 minutes. It looks great - no bubbles, more shiny, less fingerprinty. <br /> <br />The front of the case is simply a rim that goes around the iPod, as shown in the picture. This rim is actually made of rubber or silicone... whatever it is, it's flexible. The bottom rim is where I have a problem - there is a large hole for the charger and headphones, so the rim is only a couple millimieters thick. It's VERY flexible because of its thinness; if you tried to hold the iPod by this strip, it might break, or at least stretch and distort. I don't think this is too big of a problem; just avoid touching or holding onto this thin strip of rubber. <br /> <br />I'm quite satisfied with the case because it feels strong and is only one piece; I had problems with a previous case (2 pieces that came apart way too easily). I think this case is a pretty good value and should last a while. Rating: 4 / 5 I saw the CandyShell in the Apple store, and the employee recommended it to me.

I've had it for about two weeks now, and I must say it has done it's job. <br />The case is not bulky whatsoever. The back is glossy, but still maintains grip. The rubber that the other viewer said was a little flimsy, it kind of is, but you can tell it's sturdy, almost like a VERY tight rubberband. <br />Minor things are: The back becomes a little scratched because of use, but it isn't deep or anything, it's just a little wear. <br />Good: I have actually DROPPED my Ipod once with the cover on, and it literally bounced on the corner. NO damage to my Ipod despite the impact, this cover does its job! The rubberized corners really come in handy. <br />It's pretty hard to take off, but you probaly don't want to, unless you want to clean for dust. The buttons over the volume and lock button are actually nice, have not had any problems with them. Rating: 5 / 5 This case is great!

It was exactly what I expected. The inside is soft plastic and the outside is a hard shell. It was very easy to bend onto my ipod. I feel confident that if I dropped my Ipod touch that it would be protected. The case is nice and snug, and of course very cute! All of the plugs are exposed, I have no issue plugging in to the computer or using headphones. Also, it came with a screen protector which I wasn't expecting, so that was a nice surprise! I would recommend this case to anyone! Rating: 5 / 5 I was a little hesitant to order without seeing the item in person, but the pictures show the case perfectly! It was exactly what I expected.
