(andPOP) - If nothing else, Belkin holds up to its promise of creating a stylish case for the already sleek iPod Touch. The slim leather case covers the entirety of the iPod Touch, while still allowing access to the screen, hold switch and dock connector. The case also comes with a thin, clear plastic sticker to put on the screen of your iPod Touch to prevent scratching, while still allowing you to use the full capabilities of the touch screen. The case is very visually appealing - the particular one I used was black leather with white stitching.
While Belkin's iPod Touch case does an excellent job of protecting the device, not all of its features are worthwhile. The packaging of the product accentuates the "secure Velcro strap attachment" the case has, but it's not really worth anything. The strap attachment is too small for a belt, and is really only suitable if you want to have your iPod Touch hanging off your key chain. I often use my iPod while working out or walking long distances in the city, so when I'm looking for a case I want it to be able to stay securely in place while I'm moving around. The case doesn't provide that at all, but, as previously mentioned, its going more for style than for practicality.
Overall, I would recommend the Belkin case for someone who is simply looking to make sure that their iPod Touch isn't going to get scratched or smeared - but in the most stylish way possible. The case is made out of a very durable, quality leather material and should last for a few years. Other than that, I would recommend going for a cheaper case or a case that will stay secure in a variety of situations.
