Belkin Leather Folio Case for iPod touch

Advantages: Woks, cheap

Disadvantages: Headphone socket can be covered

I treated myself to an iPod Touch last month - full review to come shortly, no doubt. One thing that drew me to the Touch was its looks: a beautiful, shiny stainless steel back and the large screen on the front.

However, I soon noticed that the steel case soon lost its sheen and proved great at showing off finger prints! I therefore decided I needed a case.

A quick online search showed a huge variety, ranging in price from a few pounds to fancy Italian ones at over £200. The Belkin was on Amazon at only £4.99, though had apparently been on sale at closer to £20. I thought it was worth a go as I was going to have to buy without seeing it in the flesh, and fiver seemed worth a punt.

The case is leather, and comes in black or brown [mine is brown]. It's mainly plain leather, though there is a hexagonal pattern on the bottom quarter of the front. The cover is kept shut by a Velcro fastening and the whole thing looks like a credit card wallet.

This has been around since the iPod Touch was introduced in version 1; mine is version 2 but it fits fine. There are gaps at the bottom to plug in the USB cable and for the headphone socket [this on is almost covered by part of the case, but is usable]. At the top of the case you can access the on/off switch, and you can also use the volume controls [though not when the case is shut].

In the pack there is also a screen protector. I missed this at first, and had to rescue it from the re-cycling bag!

It does the job, and at this price, seems a bargain!

Also on Ciao.

Summary: Can't go wrong at this price

If I hadn't already bought a Belkin case last week for my new Classic, this would have driven me to seek one out - good review.

My Ipod touch has a massive scratch down the back so i got a case, only thing i dislike about the Touch is the back!
