Speck ArmorSkin Case for 80/120/160 GB iPod classic 6G

The case is great for protecting your ipod from the daily scratches that you would normally get on an iPod. It comes with an outer case that molds around all of the corners, and a clear plastic piece that covers the screen exposing the click wheel. The outer shell is heavy duty, and your ipod will be able to withstand a lot of punishment, and the rubbery texture will keep it from sliding around. I put mine on my dashboard and it stays put just fine. My only complaints, and they are small complaints, are 1) The plastic front cover is easily scratched leaving small scratches that when you are viewing a video make it annoying to watch the movie through the scratches, and 2) the outer cover makes it too thick to use any of the ipod docks that are available out there. Other than those two things, it is great.

This case is definitely rugged. The only thing I don’t like is the black rubber part doesn’t fit tight to the clear plastic piece. The corners are tight, but especially along the long sides of the Ipod it doesn’t fit snugly. It’s not what I’d call loose, but it’s just not as snug as at the corners. I was initially concerned about these loose areas snagging on my coat pockets, etc. but they don’t at all. It’s really more of a cosmetic thing than a performance thing.

This case gives the ipod classic very good protection. It has a good feel and I feel very confident that my ipod will not get scratched or damaged.

A few years back Apple sold a slim 120gb iPod Classic and a thicker 160gb iPod Classic. Now Apple only sells a slim 160gb iPod classic. This case fits the older thicker 16ogb ipod and includes a rubber insert to also fit the slim ipod classics. So, if you have a slim ipod classic, the case is bulkier (thicker) than necessary. It also DOES NOT COVER THE FLYWHEEL. It looks like a tire around your ipod. It feels rugged in your hand and does not slide around on surfaces. As with all iPod cases I have ever seen, you will need to remove it to fit in a docking station. I like it.
UPDATE
My case has stretched out over time. No longer snug fit but still works. Took about 4 months to get loose.

I got the Speck ArmorSkin Case to protect my new iPod Classic 120GB. I’m glad I did. I love the design and it’s easy to grip and won’t slip out of your hand. Despite the bulk of the case, it’s easy to access all of the functions of your iPod. I was a bit worried about being able to access the click wheel easily but thankfully no problems there. What really made me love this case was what happened this past 4h of July. I was holding my iPod(encased in the Speck ArmorSkin) in my hand and was carrying my big, jumbo stereo boom box over my shoulder. In hindsight, carrying the two together wasn’t a smart move considering what happened. The boom box though it was being carried over shoulder was a bit awkward and cumbersome for me to carry so I had trouble holding my iPod in my hand in addition I was walking down the stairs. The iPod ended up falling out of my and tumbling down metal steps and onto the concrete floor below. My heart almost sank. I thought my new iPod was destroyed. I put down the boom box, went down the stairs, took the iPod out of the case and not a scratch, shook it, no broken internal parts, turned it on, played normally and all of the other functions worked fine. The case, as well, was barely bruised. This case is awesome.
I took off a star because the plastic front cover feels a bit light and flimsy and as others have stated, it can be easily scratched. A harder plastic could’ve been used. Why have a tough, thick, durable rubber outer casing but skimp on the front cover?
Overall, this is a great case to protect your iPod. It’s worth the investment to protect such a pricey device.
