Not Big Enough... :-(
I bought this item because after reading the reviews I figured it was the biggest Ipod armband I could get. I was sadly mistaken. When I recieved it the first time I put it on the flap that held the buckle on ripped because it was too tight. I never actually got a chance to use the product. My arms are slightly larger than average (17"). I am sure it would be good for those whose arm are medium sized.
One of the best armbands on the market for the ipod video / classic
This neoprene armband is one of the best (and most affordable) armbands on the market for the ipod video / classic.
Perfect for running, biking, working out, etc.
Great value and great armband!
excellent case
Holds ipod (classic) securely on arm. Easy to get ipod in and out. Very stable when running and easy to access controls.

Customer Reviews
Soft and comfy.
The cover is great! It's soft to the touch and is not as bulky as I expected it to be. I appreciate that it has a specific place where I can wrap and store the cord, that way it doesn't get tangled where ever I store it. The only disadvantage to this product is that it doesn't have a screen protector. I think if you are considering this product you should go for it!
what they don't tell you
The description says, "Access to all iPod classic controls and dock connector." Well, that will be true if the only dock connector you use is the USB cord. If you have a device like the Belkin dock, and want to park your iPod to charge, and use the output to feed some other audio component, that's not going to happen. It WILL NOT fit on the dock with the jacket on it. I can see where this would be a good thing to have, if your iPod only goes from your computer to your pocket, but, for me, it's not so hot.
After a couple of weeks, I finally just had to give up using this. I found that, with the jacket on, the iPod wheel sometimes just stops working.
LAME
This is the lamest ipod case I've ever seen. It doesn't protect the screen, which is the most easily scratchable part of the ipod. Also, the cord management system is designed only for ipod headphones. I had bought this product specifically because I use non-ipod headphones and the cord is too long. But the grooves are too narrow and it doesn't lock in my cord. Not worth your money.

Great Price
If you are going to get the protection plan this is a great place to buy since you save $10 bucks.
Easy to registar
I have the I-Pod Classic and feel that it is worth it incase anthing goes wrong. I had the protection plan for my mini and 5 days before my plan ran out. It died and they relaced it. It gave me 2 more years of happy ipoding until it was stolen.
Excellent protection for your iPod!
Adds another year to your iPod warranty. So after purchase and registering AppleCare your iPod is covered out to 2 years from the date of purchase of the iPod.
Worth every penny!!
I got a 30gb iPod about 23 months ago in trade for some work I did for an acquaintance. At the time I didn't even know about the protection plan. It wasn't until I realized how much I loved this little electronic wonder that I started to worry about how I would ever replace it if it stopped working.
About 11 months after I received the iPod I purchased the protection plan from Apple. The sales rep I spoke with was well informed and very helpful. I had actually purchased the plan 11 months and 30 days after my initial iPod purchase date. I was assured that as long as I bought the plan before the original warranty expired that I could register it to my iPod at any time. She was right.
When my iPod started losing charge and shutting down intermittently about a month ago I was worried but then I remembered the protection plan. I called them up and they had the shipping materials at my door the next day. I sent the iPod out the day after and after 1 day of transit, 1 day of troubleshooting, and 1 day of return shipping I have a newly refurbished iPod back in my hands. No questions, no runaround, no hassle.
I would recommend this product to ANYONE with an iPod. These things are just too damn cool to risk losing.

Great for car stereo
If you have an AUX input and don't have a dedicated iPod interface in your car, this is a better way for sending audio from your iPod thru your car stereo than via the headphone jack on the iPod. The line-level signal is a better way to connect, sort of like the RCA cables for your home stereo, but you can't adjust the volume through the iPod; volume adjustment is done through the head unit (car stereo). So even if you have the volume on your iPod set to the lowest, you can still crank it up on your car stereo. The cable is also long enough for me to route it behind the center console and into the glove compartment, so I don't have visible cable clutter.
The only issue is that you must unplug the headphones on your iPod in order to have line-level signal send to your car stereo's AUX input, but that's the way iPods work, not the effect from the adapter cable. Also, personally, I'd prefer the 3.5mm plug being right angled, but I can always get an angle adapter elsewhere.
It works fine.
Bought this a couple of months ago and it works fine. Quality is decent (nothing has broken off or deteriorated so far) and the cable seems sturdy. Using the dock connection allows me to use other accessories that are top mounted and gives better sound when playing high quality sound files. However, if it's just a regular MP3 and is being played in a regular car stereo, the overall sound experience will be pretty much as if you were plugging into the headphone jack. In could not find this item in any Canadian stores, so Amazon came through once again. Overall I'm happy with this purchase and for the price I have no complaints.
GREAT Product
I recently purchased an iPod touch and a new GMC Yukon XL. I have always wanted to buy an aux. cord, but I didn't want to spend 30 bucks to get the cord. This product is adequately priced and it works perfectly.

Great Price
If you are going to get the protection plan this is a great place to buy since you save $10 bucks.
Easy to registar
I have the I-Pod Classic and feel that it is worth it incase anthing goes wrong. I had the protection plan for my mini and 5 days before my plan ran out. It died and they relaced it. It gave me 2 more years of happy ipoding until it was stolen.
Excellent protection for your iPod!
Adds another year to your iPod warranty. So after purchase and registering AppleCare your iPod is covered out to 2 years from the date of purchase of the iPod.
Worth every penny!!
I got a 30gb iPod about 23 months ago in trade for some work I did for an acquaintance. At the time I didn't even know about the protection plan. It wasn't until I realized how much I loved this little electronic wonder that I started to worry about how I would ever replace it if it stopped working.
About 11 months after I received the iPod I purchased the protection plan from Apple. The sales rep I spoke with was well informed and very helpful. I had actually purchased the plan 11 months and 30 days after my initial iPod purchase date. I was assured that as long as I bought the plan before the original warranty expired that I could register it to my iPod at any time. She was right.
When my iPod started losing charge and shutting down intermittently about a month ago I was worried but then I remembered the protection plan. I called them up and they had the shipping materials at my door the next day. I sent the iPod out the day after and after 1 day of transit, 1 day of troubleshooting, and 1 day of return shipping I have a newly refurbished iPod back in my hands. No questions, no runaround, no hassle.
I would recommend this product to ANYONE with an iPod. These things are just too damn cool to risk losing.

Hard Candy Shell for your Touch
It's a well known fact that ipods are easy to scratch, and the Touch is no exception. Apparently they are made of the softest non-lethal materials known to man. So you know you have to protect your ipod. That being said, you hate to enshroud your sleek new ipod touch in a hideous protective case that hides your trendsetting device from the rest of the world. What to do?
I'll tell you what to do. Buy this guy here. The hard plastic cover makes scratch-fear a thing of the past, and because it's transparent the innate good looks of the Touch are going to shine on through. The ipod is protected but not imprisoned. Just don't drop the damn thing because hard plastic shatters.
Disappointing
When I first got this product 5 months ago everything was great. The case snapped into place perfectly and i had no problem installing the screen protector. Now I take my ipod everywhere i go and one thing that started to happen was that dirt and dust would seep through the openings in the case for the headphone jack and hold button, this caused minor scratches on the ipod and on the case. Now because of this i would have to take off my case to clean the ipod every once in awhile and after a few cleans one of the clasps broke off. as of right now both the bottom clasps have broken off leaving it very loose forcing me to tape it together. Also one other critical flaws is the lack of shock protection. if you were to drop your ipod this case would prevent scratches but forget about absorbing impact.
Good looks, great protection
I recently ordered this case and I love it! It looks great and doesn't mask the beauty of the iPod. It adds a little weight and bulk but it's not that significant. It actually feels better in my hand with the case on. I like the fact that I don't have to remove the case to charge it. My non-iPod headphones fit fine with the case on, even though the headphone jack is larger than that of the iPod headphones. You can also reach the sleep button fine with the case on.
It's nice that they include the screen protector. It's not too hard to put on, you have to make sure to wipe your screen really well first and try not to touch the actual sticking surface of the protector. I was able to put it on without bubbles or dust but it doesn't seem to stick well around the very edges. I tried to peel it off at the bottom to fix it a little and now there is a large section at the bottom which won't stick anymore. Oh well, with the case on, you can't really tell. I found a trick to open the case without scratching it: use a small coin, a dime is fine, take the cloth that comes with the case and drape it over the slot as a barrier between the case and the coin. I have opened the case many times already and have no scratches. The case has such a tight fit that I had a weird issue with some marking that looked like trapped moisture or oil between the back of the iPod and the case. I kept wiping the iPod and the case and even used rubbing alcohol to remove any oil and I still had that marking. It annoyed me so I put a little sticker on the back of the iPod and it fixed the problem. The back of the case is not perfectly clear, it's clouded, but you can still see through it. This also means that if there is any dust under the case, you can see that too. Just be sure to wipe your iPod really well before putting the case on.

this works just fine. i use it at the gym all the time and it hasnt failed me yet
Are you kidding me with the screen protection?
First of all, I have been looking for the perfect ipod armband case for the gym and my active lifestyle, and I have NOT found any.
This is almost perfect. The material is top-notch and still allows access to every function, and most impressive is the wheel cover protection that works fine. The top edge is attached so my iPod will never again slide out from the top whenever I am doing pull-ups.
However, the screen protection is a joke. There is no screen protection. All you get is a piece of sticky plastic to put on your ipod and you slide it in there. So you can only attached the sticky plastic one time, and that is your only screen protection, if the plastic comes off you are out of luck, that unless you buy another one of this.
Another thing I was hoping for was a key chain belt clip so I can just clip it to my belt whenever I am not at the gym and wearing a coat.
These are just simple things the manufacturers never considered. They never combined all these together to one ipod case.
It is like every ipod case is missing what the other ones have.
Wheel protection area needs improvement
I love this product because of the great fit on my Ipod classic. I love the fact I can use the armband or take it off. It feels great in my hands, it's lightweight and takes up very little space. I like that it comes with a plastic clear cover for the screen, but the cover is a little too big for the screen. Regardless, I'm using it and it doesn't seem to matter much at all.
However, there is one downfall: the area covering the wheel is too thick, and only worked intermittently. It didn't matter if my finger was warm or cold, or how much pressure I put on the wheel. So,I ended up cutting out that area with a scissors. Works great now, but not as advertised!

DLO transpod
haven't had a problem with this ipod transpod. love not having any cords to worry about. didn't even need to use the extender arm, even tho my lighter plugin is in an odd spot. get pretty good reception.
DLO Transpod works very well.
I recently purchased an iPod Touch and since I have an older vehicle without a direct input jack to my radio I needed a way of playing the iPod through the radio. I had an old cassette unit that worked fairly well, but the Transpod provides a much better sound. It also overrides the iPod volume and transmits at a set volume. The sound level is controlled only by the radio which I think is easier than trying to fool around with both volume controls. It comes with an amazing array of connectors to attach it to your cigarette lighter or 12V power port. This also provides flexibility so it will fit any dashboard layout. I also like the fact that it charges the iPod too. I would definitely recommend this product.
The Solution
I have tried many transmitters but this product was the solution to my ipod transmitter needs. It holds perfect clarity while I am on the road, its sturdy, well made and very easy to use.

It features front-based tuning buttons for easy navigation of FM stations and side-based buttons that control backlight and preset functions. Features:
Play, charge and cradle your iPod with one simple, secure device
Fits ALL dockable iPods - including new 5G video iPod and iPod nano

DLO transpod
haven't had a problem with this ipod transpod. love not having any cords to worry about. didn't even need to use the extender arm, even tho my lighter plugin is in an odd spot. get pretty good reception.
DLO Transpod works very well.
I recently purchased an iPod Touch and since I have an older vehicle without a direct input jack to my radio I needed a way of playing the iPod through the radio. I had an old cassette unit that worked fairly well, but the Transpod provides a much better sound. It also overrides the iPod volume and transmits at a set volume. The sound level is controlled only by the radio which I think is easier than trying to fool around with both volume controls. It comes with an amazing array of connectors to attach it to your cigarette lighter or 12V power port. This also provides flexibility so it will fit any dashboard layout. I also like the fact that it charges the iPod too. I would definitely recommend this product.
The Solution
I have tried many transmitters but this product was the solution to my ipod transmitter needs. It holds perfect clarity while I am on the road, its sturdy, well made and very easy to use.

Perfect for the iPod touch!
This was just what I was looking for for my iPod touch! My biggest concern when I bought the iPod touch was protection for the screen. I looked through a lot of stores and the cases that protected the screens all were $30+, and they were very plain (just black), while this case comes in lots of different colors. I had difficulties finding a case that was cheap and also could protect the screen of my iPod, until I saw this. I regret not getting this earlier because my iPod already had scratches on it while shopping for a good case.
Pros:
+Good price
+Good quality for the price
+Protects the screen and the entire iPod
+Comes with a plastic cover that sticks on the screen to prevent scratching as well
+Fits the iPod perfectly
Cons:
-Closes by velcro so it may wear out if you open and close too much
-Makes it a little harder to type letters that are close to the sides of the case (but this is probably true of any iPod case)
best case for ipod touch!
I love this case! I tried the agent 18 hard plastic case but it doesn't do anything to protect the screen...the only part you're screwed on if it gets damaged. It's cute too...
Good Case
The case is great, it protects my itouch when it's in my purse & it's attractive. My only complaint is that it's hard to use the touch when it's in the case.

pretty happy
I really like this armband alot, it is comfortable and I forget i have it on. I also really like the earbud cord coil. There is just one thing, the glue between the loops for the hook and the band comes apart pretty easily. Otherwise, I like it.
never got my item
I just wanted to let you know that I never recieved my product after three months I am still waiting on it.
Below average
This is not a great product for the IPod Classic. I have an 80GB Classic and bought the armband for use in the gym and road running.
Firstly, getting the armband on, with its metal hook and hole system was very difficult, more difficult than it should be.
Secondly, when I went for my first run I only got half a block before the armband slipped off. I proceeded to tighten it to the point where my arm felt uncomfortable, this worked ok.
Overall, this was a below average product from a company who are normally really on to it. I am really surprised and hugely disappointed that there is only this armband product out for the Classic.

Amazon.com Product Description
Surround your iPod with legendary JBL sound with the Radial high-performance loudspeaker, which delivers clean, powerful high- and mid-frequency sound along with plenty of deep, distortion-free bass. As a music system, the Radial stands alone, with four Odyssey full-range drivers and a single low-frequency neodymium driver producing a rich audio performance. As a computer peripheral, it replaces (and seriously upgrades) your external speakers and subwoofer, giving your games and music streams some serious punch. And as a multimedia entertainment center, it not only plays your favorite iPod tunes, but sends your iPod photos and videos to a TV monitor. However and wherever you use it, the Radial is a high-performance wonder.
The Radial incorporates a universal iPod dock adapter, which is compatible with most docking versions of the iPod, including the iPod video 5G and 5.5G and the iPod nano 1G and 2G. Simply slide your iPod into the dock and you're set--no additional cords to connect or adapters to fuss with. As an added convenience, the Radial also offers an auxiliary input for connecting a variety of other portable audio devices, including the iPod shuffle, personal MP3 and CD players, desktop and laptop computers (all platforms), and satellite radio receivers. As long as your portable audio device has a 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack connection, you can play the audio through your Radial speaker.
As a bonus, the Radial comes with a wireless RF remote control, giving you the freedom to enjoy your music from across the room, in another room, or outside up to 20 feet. The wireless remote lets you easily change tracks, browse libraries, adjust the settings, and scroll through the extras. Other details include a sleek white housing, convenient one-touch volume and muting controls, a computer-optimized equalization system that produces a complete sound stage, and a USB 2.0 cable for synching and charging your iPod.

Surprisingly Great Sound
I'm very pleasantly surprised with this speaker. I'm not an expert by any means, but I do have an ear for a good speaker, and this is good: the sound is rich and powerful to my ear. As for the negative stuff, I'll echo some of the other reviews and say that the power button is in an inconvenient spot, and I wish there were a little more fine-tuning as far as volume gradation, but overall I'm very happy with this product.
Amazing IPOD Speakers
I just got the speakers today only. These are my first IPOD speakers. The speakers are fabulous. Both music quality and loudness are really good. Not only IPOD, I also connected my Nokia mobile to it using Aux Port and the music in Nokia also sounded great. I am really satisfied with these speakers. 5 out of 5 really
Only downside is they don't have rechargebell battery. That would have been cherry on the cake.
Brilliant sound....almost perfect for the simple music enthusiast
I ordered this product after doing close to 10 hours of research on which speaker to buy for my new 6G 80GB iPod Classic (i don't spend my money carelessly),
and i am in no way disappointed....and this is after i went through all the major competition including the Bose sound-dock, AL iM600, Athena iVoice, Klipsch iGroove, iHome, iLounge, Polk Audio miDock and about 10 others...you name it i saw it!!
The bose offers similar quality sound...but is 3 times more expensive !!!
The bass is astounding...and so is the midrange..
i don't travel so i didn't need portability...what i needed was exceptional sound quality as i listen to a lot of classical music...and this product gave me exactly that...along with its awesome looks..
NOTE: This is NOT the JBL Radial Micro...it is FULL SIZE for which retail price anywhere else is no less than $200 SO HERE IT'S A STEAL!!!!!
My only quam is that the volume increases in bursts and not gradually.

Happy with my Laptop and my Speakers!
I was happy with the purchase of my Macbook. But the purchase of the JBL Duet Speakers took my happiness with my music collection on iTunes to a different level.
Decent enough, but not sure they're worth the premium
Based on user comments, I figured I'd buy slightly more expensive speakers for the office than I'd intended. Unlike many of the other reviewers though, after listening to them, I didn't think these speakers significantly outperformed other speakers in the $20-30 range. They're fine enough, but I think you definitely pay a premium for the styling. Bass is pretty much exactly what you'd expect from low end speakers, nor do they particularly fill a medium sized room. But hey, they look good and they're still reasonably inexpensive.
ear plugs needed
speakers are awesome! nice sound. the only bummer is that the knob is hard to turn - it's hard to grip. we had to put a rubber band on it so that we could turn the power/volume knob easier.

Amazon.com Product Description
With 80GB or 160GB of storage, iPod classic gives your music and video room to move. It also has plenty of energy (up to 40 hours of audio playback), good looks (a sleek, all-metal design), and a great personality (a brand-new interface with Cover Flow). In other words, iPod classic makes an ideal companion.
Cover Flow
If a picture says a thousand words, think of what all the album art in your collection might say. With Cover Flow on iPod classic, you can flip through your music to find the album you want to hear. Use the Click Wheel to browse music by album cover, then select an album to flip it over and see the track list.
With 80GB or 160GB of storage, iPod classic gives your music and video room to move. View iPod classic dimensions.
Up to 40 hours of audio playback in the palm of your hand. View larger.
Music
Use the Click Wheel to adjust volume, navigate songs, browse in Cover Flow, or explore the Music menu by playlist, artist, album, song, genre, composer, and more. Want to mix things up? Click Shuffle Songs. iPod classic makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to its big, bright, color display.
Movies
Buy movies from the iTunes Store and you can sync them to your iPod classic to watch anywhere, anytime. The gorgeous 2.5-inch display makes your movies pop. And iPod classic keeps you entertained for up to 7 hours. Long flight or darkened room? Adjust the brightness for even more video playback time.
TV Shows
There's always something good on iPod classic. Browse thousands of episodes of your favorite TV shows on the iTunes Store, buy them for just $1.99 each, then sync them to iPod classic. Watch last night's episodes this morning, or buy a whole TV series and play a pocket-size marathon.
Podcasts
The iTunes Store features thousands of free video and audio podcasts, including indie favorites and offerings from such big names as ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR, and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod classic. You can even play video podcasts on TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.
Audiobooks
The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks--including exclusives like the entire Harry Potter series--so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod classic takes you. iPod classic recognizes where you left off and bookmarks your place. You can even adjust the reading speed to suit you.
Games
Put hours of fun at your fingertips. iPod classic comes with three games--Vortex, iQuiz, and Klondike--and you can download more from the iTunes Store for $4.99 each. All iPod games are designed specifically for the iPod interface. And all of them look great on the 2.5-inch color display.
Experience a whole new way to browse and view your music and video. Use the patented Click Wheel to flip through your music by album cover. Beautifully redesigned, iPod classic features a sleek, new all-metal enclosure.
Photos
iPod classic holds up to 25,000 photos you can sync from your Mac or PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full screen, click the center button. You can even view photo slideshows--complete with music and transitions--on iPod classic or on a TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.
Search
With up to 40,000 songs on your iPod classic, you need an easy way to search your collection. A built-in search function lets you use the Click Wheel to type out the name of the song, artist, album, audiobook, or podcast you're looking for. iPod classic returns results instantly as you select letters.
Extras
Calendars, contacts, and a clock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the screen lock, for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit combination and protect your iPod classic from prying eyes. If you forget your combination, just reset when you sync. Or use the built-in stopwatch to log your best times.

Me and my recreation data base
Apple iPod classic 160 GB Black (6th Generation)
Remember CD's? Well,with some real effort you can load up bookshelves,tabletops and of course the car with your not-playing-this-one at the moment. This is my second IPOD. Believe it or not I ran out of usable memory on the IPOD video model. So, this time I went the distance with 160 gig "classic". It works great. It appears Apple has reworked the finger wheel for this model seems a better fit to my diminished eye-hand coordination . The visuals are also better and sharper. With all this memory I have taken to loading pictures which are better displayed than on photopaper.
My only complaint is Apples' continued use of those cheap earbuds. With my previous IPOD I purchased over-the-ear phones and remdied that problem.
If you are a complusive music type, I recommend this particular model without reservation
Nice upgrades from 5G
I bought this as a replacement for my 5G 60GB Video that was stolen at the YMCA. The upgraded interface is a nice refresh from the old one. There was nothing wrong with the old 5G interface - just that the enhancements of the 6G are a bit cooler. The cover-page flip setting is pretty useless if you ask me. On a 160GB iPod where most people have thousands of songs, it would take forever to scroll through to find what you want. Plus, about half of the cover pages are blank so unless you have all of the cover graphic files on your iTunes it really is not very helpful. The bonus is that you can turn this feature off. So far I think the sound is on par with the old 5G. The sound variation between songs usually equates more to the quality of the file, rather than the iPod itself. Sounds good on my Apple Hi-Fi too.
Couldn't be Happier~Great ipod
I got my first ipod when the 3rd gen Nano came out and proceeded to fill it up right away. Now what?
This 80GB was the perfect answer. I do not know how people can say 1-3 ratings. Mine is wonderful. I have 4,500 songs on it every CD I own. now I am converting my Records to CD and putting them on it too, I have 200++ albums and it will still not come close to filling this baby.
I got the square ipod home Amazon had as a deal of the day. It sounds fantastic...just like Bose. I crank that baby up and hear it all thru the house. I love that I can have all my CD's in one tiny place and take it with me.
I highly recommed this ipod. It is bult sturdy too.
My only sligt complaint is that many of my albums do not have artwork available in the itune store. I guess my type music is the most popluar. Christian Contempory.

Great Price
If you are going to get the protection plan this is a great place to buy since you save $10 bucks.
Easy to registar
I have the I-Pod Classic and feel that it is worth it incase anthing goes wrong. I had the protection plan for my mini and 5 days before my plan ran out. It died and they relaced it. It gave me 2 more years of happy ipoding until it was stolen.
Excellent protection for your iPod!
Adds another year to your iPod warranty. So after purchase and registering AppleCare your iPod is covered out to 2 years from the date of purchase of the iPod.
Worth every penny!!
I got a 30gb iPod about 23 months ago in trade for some work I did for an acquaintance. At the time I didn't even know about the protection plan. It wasn't until I realized how much I loved this little electronic wonder that I started to worry about how I would ever replace it if it stopped working.
About 11 months after I received the iPod I purchased the protection plan from Apple. The sales rep I spoke with was well informed and very helpful. I had actually purchased the plan 11 months and 30 days after my initial iPod purchase date. I was assured that as long as I bought the plan before the original warranty expired that I could register it to my iPod at any time. She was right.
When my iPod started losing charge and shutting down intermittently about a month ago I was worried but then I remembered the protection plan. I called them up and they had the shipping materials at my door the next day. I sent the iPod out the day after and after 1 day of transit, 1 day of troubleshooting, and 1 day of return shipping I have a newly refurbished iPod back in my hands. No questions, no runaround, no hassle.
I would recommend this product to ANYONE with an iPod. These things are just too damn cool to risk losing.

Sounds awful
If you're looking for a way to listen to your iPod in your car, forget this item. The only radio band it would play on sounded horrible. I consider it money wasted.
Finally one that works!
I have purchased a few of these devices over the past month, this one is great reception is good and the holder is nice.
3 IN 1 CHARGING AND CAR HOLDER FM TRANSMITTER FOR IPOD
THIS WORKED FINE. IT SEEMS A LITTLE CHEAPLY MADE/LOOKING. AND MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW IT WILL FIT IN YOUR CAR, AS IT DID NOT FIT GOOD IN MY CIG LIGHTER WITH ASHTRAY MY SHIFTER COULD NOT GO IN PARK WITHOUT HITTING MY KNUCKLES AND COULDN'T USE MY HEATER. LUCKLY I HAD ANOTHER PLUG TO USE ON THE SIDE BY PASSENGER LEGS, BUT NOW I CAN'T SEE THE IPOD TO SEE THE DISPLAY. BUT FOR THE PRICE IT IS OK

Amazon.com Product Description
The Griffin iClear hard-shell case provides invisible polycarbonate protection for your iPod Touch. Strong enough for the daily abuse of an active lifestyle, the transparent and unobtrusive design protects the iPod with a tough, polycarbonate two-piece shell. And yet, you have total access to the iPod's control wheel, audio jack, on switch, USB port, and LED. Installation is quick and easy--the iPod drops into the iClear's front casing, and the rear section snaps into place.
What's in the Box:
iClear case, static peel screen protector, and premium cleaning cloth.

Hard Candy Shell for your Touch
It's a well known fact that ipods are easy to scratch, and the Touch is no exception. Apparently they are made of the softest non-lethal materials known to man. So you know you have to protect your ipod. That being said, you hate to enshroud your sleek new ipod touch in a hideous protective case that hides your trendsetting device from the rest of the world. What to do?
I'll tell you what to do. Buy this guy here. The hard plastic cover makes scratch-fear a thing of the past, and because it's transparent the innate good looks of the Touch are going to shine on through. The ipod is protected but not imprisoned. Just don't drop the damn thing because hard plastic shatters.
Disappointing
When I first got this product 5 months ago everything was great. The case snapped into place perfectly and i had no problem installing the screen protector. Now I take my ipod everywhere i go and one thing that started to happen was that dirt and dust would seep through the openings in the case for the headphone jack and hold button, this caused minor scratches on the ipod and on the case. Now because of this i would have to take off my case to clean the ipod every once in awhile and after a few cleans one of the clasps broke off. as of right now both the bottom clasps have broken off leaving it very loose forcing me to tape it together. Also one other critical flaws is the lack of shock protection. if you were to drop your ipod this case would prevent scratches but forget about absorbing impact.
Good looks, great protection
I recently ordered this case and I love it! It looks great and doesn't mask the beauty of the iPod. It adds a little weight and bulk but it's not that significant. It actually feels better in my hand with the case on. I like the fact that I don't have to remove the case to charge it. My non-iPod headphones fit fine with the case on, even though the headphone jack is larger than that of the iPod headphones. You can also reach the sleep button fine with the case on.
It's nice that they include the screen protector. It's not too hard to put on, you have to make sure to wipe your screen really well first and try not to touch the actual sticking surface of the protector. I was able to put it on without bubbles or dust but it doesn't seem to stick well around the very edges. I tried to peel it off at the bottom to fix it a little and now there is a large section at the bottom which won't stick anymore. Oh well, with the case on, you can't really tell. I found a trick to open the case without scratching it: use a small coin, a dime is fine, take the cloth that comes with the case and drape it over the slot as a barrier between the case and the coin. I have opened the case many times already and have no scratches. The case has such a tight fit that I had a weird issue with some marking that looked like trapped moisture or oil between the back of the iPod and the case. I kept wiping the iPod and the case and even used rubbing alcohol to remove any oil and I still had that marking. It annoyed me so I put a little sticker on the back of the iPod and it fixed the problem. The back of the case is not perfectly clear, it's clouded, but you can still see through it. This also means that if there is any dust under the case, you can see that too. Just be sure to wipe your iPod really well before putting the case on.

best case for ipod touch!
I love this case! I tried the agent 18 hard plastic case but it doesn't do anything to protect the screen...the only part you're screwed on if it gets damaged. It's cute too...
Good Case
The case is great, it protects my itouch when it's in my purse & it's attractive. My only complaint is that it's hard to use the touch when it's in the case.
great protection and good looking, too
I love this case, it is well made and functional - easy to use, everything can be attached (including the charger) without taking the ipod out of the case. It protects the ipod well, and is also quite classy-looking, with the pink and brown color scheme. It even has that good leather smell. :O)
awesome case - highly recommended.

Handsome, useful, nice design
I had just purchased my new Ipod Touch and wanted to be sure I had a case for it when it arrived. I figured, if this one was "just OK", I would use it until I found something else.
It turned out to be a lovely surprise. It is handsome, stylish and protects the Itouch beautifully, while giving me quick, easy access to all the buttons and plugs.
Well done.
Belkin Leather Folio for iPod touch
this is a great accessory for the iPod touch, it protects it from scratches, and also is very handy, and comfortable.
I definitively recommend this item.
A bit dissapointed
When i received my product i was a bit dissapointed by the velcro opening.The product image is a bit deceiving and personaly,I thought the opening was a magnetic one.From my experience,velcro openings wear out fast and if I knew about it,I probably wouldn't have purchased this product.Gives the hole product a rather "cheap" look

It works
It works just as good as the expensive Apple one. If you are getting the composite video cables Apple includes one of these with the cables so don't buy this if you are getting the cables from Apple.

Not only is this a piece of garbage, but unfortunately I bought 2.The best part is that although they were shipped together the seller still charged me separate shipping charges. Do not buy from this ........

Not put together well
I purchased this item with my ipod touch and the edges of it started to come apart as soon as I put the ipod into it. The edges are glued together and the quality isn't so great. Maybe it was just this one that I purchased or maybe it because of the size of my arms. This item would be great if it was of better quality.
iPod touch armband
This is a very helpful item, when you want to go and run, or do some exercises, but, its belt is very short, so if you have a big arm you will fill it like very tight. The company should do this item in different sizes.
It's ok, but be warned...
Just one complaint is that it barely fits around my bicep. I'm not the biggest guy in the world, but I do have larger biceps (sorry, i'm not the kind of guy who measures his biceps) - and this barely fits me. Otherwise, it's ok.

Best car accessory - no problems
Love this gizmo - works better than all the others I've tried - really keeps the setting when I travel (lots of station interference in this area too) - but no problem for this car transmitter.
Dont expect to much
If you like static when you listen to your music, this is the product for you. I listen to alot of metal and if theres alot going on in the song the static is hardly noticeable, but any acoustic or quiter songs and the static overwhelms what Im listening to. Its a decent deal if you absolutley have to listen to your i pod in your car but otherwise stay away.
Excellent Product Even If You Live Near a City
Let me begin by saying that FM transmitter should only be bought if you don't have a AUX port or don't want to fiddle around with cassette adapters.
Now with that little bit out of the way, I can say that from my initial tests this mounting Kit and FM Transmitter work beautifully. I have an iPod Classic and the kit comes with adjustable sides, allowing it to fit all iPods. The sound quality is good, and the kit charges the iPod. All-in-all it is definitely worth the money I have only three minor complaints about the kit. (The transmitter is covered below)
1. The Kit shakes a small amount when you drive due to the vibration of the engine (I drive a 2001 CR-V). I drove for around 30 minutes on variety of roads (highway like, rougher roads) and it didn't fall out, nor did the iPod move out of the container, but it is something of note
2. I have an incase leather protector around my iPod, which unfortunately cannot be mounted with the iPod. Not a big deal, as I have a place to put the case while I'm driving, but could be a problem for some who love their cases
3. Depending on the placement of your cigarette lighter the screen can be harder to see. I can still see mine clearly from where I am, but there is no extension cord to move it to a better part of the car. Also, I have the gearshift near my steering wheel. If your gearshift is on the floor, problems could arise when you are putting the car into park. Like most mounting kits, you must prepare a playlist ahead of time. The remote (yes it works) is nice to skip tracks, but unless you are stopped, it is unsafe to change a playlist while you are driving.
All of these complaints I repeat are minor in the end.
Now how is the sound? I live in Northbrook, IL which is 20 minutes out of downtown Chicago; however I get all of the local suburban radio stations as well as the city stations. Despite all of the radio stations I am still able to find frequencies that work for this. Many people don't know how to use FM transmitters which can explain why some get poor reviews. You need not only a clear station, but have at least the station before and after (preferably two if it exists) also open so there is as little competition as possible.
The sound quality is good, you can listen to your music and hear everything fine. If you are someone who stresses top-notch sound, then go buy an AUX kit for your car, b/c that'll give you the best. But if you are just looking for an alternative besides the terrible radio, this kit will get the job done. One thing as of note is that it is difficult while driving to change the frequency on the radio should you encounter static. Another is that your iPod will not automatically pause once the car is turned off. Many complain about the latter, but I don't see this as a big deal, because you should be taking your iPod with you out of your car you can just turn it off then. (Leaving your iPod in a kit is just asking for your windows to be smashed in)
There certainly are some flashier kits and FM Transmitters that will autoscan and some have presets you can use in case you ever have to switch. But for a price tag slightly under 30 bucks, you won't find a better deal.
