Ordered this for my 9 year old daughter's i-pod touch that she just got for Christmas. She wanted one of those "fancy cases" but I told her she needed the OtterBox if she wanted to use it with friends or take it out of the house. I have one for my i-phone, and I told her remember when I dropped my phone in the garage?? Nothing happened and that if her's breaks, she will pay for it out of her money. Needless to say the thing has been dropped twice already (once by one of her friends) and it's still here.
I've tried cases from every major company that produces the so-called rugged cases. Otterbox Defender with holster is for me the no-brainer, hands down winner of the contest. It's not over-bulky, goes in and out of the holster easily (allow a day or two to get the feel of it), has super grip, comes off the phone real easy once you know how to do it, and the price is right. Sure, it's not waterproof but I don't need it to be. I have found waterproof membranes over Touch ID to be very picky about when they read your fingerprint and that's not an issue with the Defender.
I bought the otterbox a few weeks ago and let me just say that the protection and peace Of mind that it gives me is just great. No need to worry about drops with the handstrap that gibed that extra measue of Comfort. The keys to the iTouch 6 are easily accessible and the seals to the charge cable and headphone are heavy duty. All in all a great protective case worth the investment! !! THANKS FOR A SUCH A NICE PRODUCT. ..
I swear by Otterbox Defender cases, and I”m extremely pleased with the one I got for my new iPod Touch device. Because it’s an Otterbox, you can count on a perfect fit—and the best protection you can get.
We live in a time when our mobile devices are pricey. It’s nothing for a cell phone to cost $800 or more, and devices like my iPod Touch aren’t cheap. An Otterbox is good cheap insurance for all your mobile devices.
This is my third Otterbox for iPod Touch. It has protected my iPod numerous times though the plastic frame usually breaks at one of the four corners. Maybe if the plastic on the vertical sides were beefed up a little, perhaps it wouldn’t easily crack where it meets the upper and lower corners. My only real complaint with the design is in the very little plastic connector parts that encase the iPod. I do more damage to the connecting areas trying to take the iPod out to clean interior screen of Otterbox case and replacing it. I wouldn’t mind carrying a slightly improved case knowing my iPod is secure and the case is easily removed and replaced without having parts possibly breaking. Overall, I’m reasonably happy with the product. I must be if I keep buying it. I would easily give it 5 stars if it had a few improvements.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used otterbox since I had my first I phone. Now kids have their own devices,in which they are hard on,and drop all the time, I know I can count on otterbox to protect their devices and mine.
