Not so good for the 80-gig iPod
I purchased this item for my 80-gig iPod but it isn't up to the expectations generated by it potential and price.
The good news:
1. The case offers total protection. Too many cases leave the corners exposed.
2. The folio opens to the side. Opening to the top pushes the ear bud plug backward in its jack. Repeated rearward pressure will loosen the connection between the plug and jack over time. A loose connection causes unintended pauses in the music since the machine senses that the plug has been removed.
The bad news:
1. The case claims to fit both the 30-gig and 60-gig 5G models. The 60-gig is reputed to be the same size as the 80. The 80-gig iPod won't "seat" into the correct position to align the screen and click wheel with their respective windows. Pushing it deeper into the "pocket" does not result it its staying there. As a result, the left side of the click wheel is not fully exposed and therefore difficult to press. The ear bud jack also comes too close to the strap connecting the front to the back. The strap has to be pushed to the side to fully insert an ear bud plug.
2. The plastic cover to the screen window is not flat on my case.
3. The plastic cover to the click wheel is too thick for responsiveness. I would rather remove it but that's not a possibility without an Xacto knife cut and leaving a sharp plastic edge.
4. This case is the most expensive that I shopped. I would have considered it a good buy, however, if it fit my iPod properly.
