I take my Ipod Touch everywhere with no worries of it being damaged in any way because of the Defender Case!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I used to put my iPod in the 'pocket' of my dash as I drove, and with no case, it would often come out of the pocket (unplugging itself on the way) as I would accelerate from a stop. I've used this case on my first gen iPod touch so I figured the rubber coating would help it 'grip' the dash pocket and not become a projectile at every stop sign or light.
As with all Otter Box cases I use, I removed the clear screen protector before putting it on my iPod (I use it for drop protection, not scratch protection). IF YOU ARE ROUGH ON YOUR IPOD - DON'T DO THAT!
Case fits great, took all of about 30 seconds to put it on. The rubber outer layer fits tight on the openings, so water/dust resistance will be really good.
My only 'complaint' (if you can call it that) is that the hard plastic around the headphone port is thick enough that my Dre Beats headphone jack (a 90degree plug) can only face perpendicular or to the "left" when plugged in...twisting it to the right pulls it out of the jack. Perpendicular or to the left makes it hard to put in a pocket without putting strain on the headphone cord. For future models, if they could make the bottom plastic just a millimeter thinner this would be resolved. Other than that, this case is awesome.

Otter Box put a lot of thought into their design. Unlike other simple snap-on rubberized cases in the same price range which rely on color or texture patterns to sell the item, this case focuses on layers of protection and functionality. Inside the OB case my 5th gen iPod Touch works exactly as it does out... all buttons are perfectly positioned, the dirt tabs for the earphones and thunderbolt connection are easy to open and do their job, and the touch screen shield gives that extra protection with easy touch functioning. What I like best is the 2 layer protection concept. The hard plastic inside case perfectly locks the Touch in place... no slop, no wiggle. The rubber outside case provides the shock absorption plus protection from the elements. It's not a waterproof case, which I very much would like to see in the future, but for say normal teenage abuse, this case should give your electronic device life until the end of its obsolescence cycle. Just don't drop it in the toilet or pool. Be sure to watch the video for initial installation as the first time is a little tricky.

While it is well made, the inner case material is too hard/brittle. It tends to break instead of bending. The ipod has ports close together so the separators break off leaving the bottom unsecured.
While advertised as dust resistant, it isn't very tight that way. It will keep pocket lint out.

I bought one of these for my high school-aged son two years ago as a gift for his brand new iPod. Now he's in college and he must have liked it, because he asked for a replacement almost two years from the day he got the first one. I thought it was because he didn't like the color of the one I had chosen (my idea of theft deterrent), but when he removed the old one to use the second one, I could see why he wanted another. It was trashed. He carries his iPod in his pants pocket 24/7. I have witnessed it getting dropped on tile floors and concrete. The iPod looks like new and and works like the day it came out of the box.
