Belkin Silicone Sleeve For iPod classic Case MP3 Player

When you invest in, or are gifted an iPod Classic, the first thing you think about is protecting it considering its price and the fact it holds a massive harddrive. The silicone case seems pretty pathetic on first glance with its thin, translucent rubbery feel. However thinking about it, it would certainly offer some protection to your iPod should you accidentally drop it. I'm not a complete moron so I haven't 'tested' this case's true capabilities, nor have I dropped my iPod, but this case does give me some piece of mind about it. You can get the cases in a variety of colours, all over eBay for next to nothing, besides P&P but you might also want to consider a leather (or imitation) case that has a flip cover with a buckle to fasten, covering the whole iPod. I personally can't be bothered to mess about with a leather case so this one does its job just fine for me.

Whats annoying though is that because of the material, it gathers dust and stray hairs. This is only a minor problem though, with the open window for the screen providing access to all the dirt and crap to get inside the case. One more flaw is that some cases can be slightly too large but there shouldn't be too many problems because of this. There is of course a hole for the headphone jack as well as a slot for the charger/transfer cable connection and on/hold switch. Some cases have little sporting features such as a protrusion on the top left of the case which provides a hole for a necklace or band that can keep the iPod attached to you at all times. Another inclusion is of 2 slits in the back of the case which I assume is so you can put your belt through it so it stays on your trousers securely.

It gets the job done, cheaply, but effectively.
