OtterBox Defender iPod Touch 5th Gen Case (77-25108) - Black

A very sturdy case, it was purchased for my 3 year old's i-touch. Four years ago I purchased a Defender case for my daughters i-touch and it is still going strong. This version has an improved protection near the charging port (very similar to the lifeproof case) as it clicks shut. The hard plastic exterior feels much more durable than the previous models. I am impressed with the home button rubber seal, great protection. It was easy to put onto the i-touch and the colour is great, very versatile. Would highly recommend the defender case as this is my 3rd purchase (all my children now have one & all their i-touches are in perfect condition).

I had been using a dock adaptor to dock my itouch 5 on my 30 pin alarm clock. I bought Apples lightening adaptor so I could do this, but now with the otter box case the adaptor will no longer fit, so if I use the case I can not use the alarm clock or sound bar, so not real happy about that. Now I will have to buy the 30 pin to 8 pin cord and its only like 5 inches long, so not sure that will even work. So if you want to dock it, then the otter box is not the case for you. Also there is a slight flaw in the part that covers the screen, a smudge that won't come off and around the edge on one side, something like a scratch, both are annoying.

I ordered a new Otter Box for my new Ipod as I had one on my old Ipod and I loved it. When it arrived I unwrapped it and assembled it on the new Ipod. The screensaver is just slightly too big for the actual box and when assembled it buckles in the middle making it very annoying to try to use the touch screen. Also, the strap for it would not feed through the hole provided on the case. The weaved covering over the actual filament line inside the loop string kept tearing when I tried to feed it through no matter how I tried to do it. As happy as I was with my first couple of Otter Boxes I have owned, this one has been equally as disappointing.
