The Otter Box case seems like the cheapest insurance policy out there for the iPod that my elementary age daughter got for Christmas. It was easy to install and seems durable though we have not had any tests of it. It does have an integral screen protector which I thought was key for little fingers. Cons: She does say it's harder to push the on/off and volume buttons with the case. Also it would have been nice to have a few more color choices that would appeal to kids. She got the purple and pink but would have liked brighter, younger options.
Pros: High quality, Durable, cheap insurance
Cons: buttons harder to push, limited color selection
It's Sleek, It's Protective, It's Also Buttoned Up

While I do appreciate the eye-appealing colors and definite protection, the Home, Power, and Volume buttons are very difficult to press. Even the touch screen requires a little force. These malefactors aside, I do love the case and would recommend one to a friend. I may turn to DIY techniques to modify my case so as to make the buttons easier to press.
The OtterBox protects from dust and shock very well. Wish it was sealed better to prevent moisture from getting in, but this would probably cause problems with the internal speaker in the Ipod. Overall a great investment to protect my Ipod.
Pros: High quality, Durable
Cons: not as water resistant as other otterbox products
I had an Samsung phone and used the Otterbox defender - I am an avid bicyclist and amazed at the protection the Otterbox had given when the phone had fallen out of a back pocket. I now have an Iphone and ordered the Otterbox Defender to protect the new phone! Thank you Otterbox!
I have the Defender on my Android phone, iPhone and iPod. I think the protection the Defender provides plus the functional design is second to none. Customer service was great as well. Would definitely recommend to friends and colleagues.
