There are other cases out there, but there's nobody with the kind of customer service that you get from OtterBox! If anything ever goes wrong, they do their best to make it right.
Pros: High quality, Durable, waranty

I had the version of the defender case before this one and it protected mi iPod very well. I bought I almost a year ago and I love it. Yesterday the silicone ripped ( it's a year old and the rip is in a spot that takes a lot of wear and tear) I submitted the form online and sent the pictures and they are sending me a replacement. Great customer service.

My six year old son's iPod recently made it into the washing machine and went through the full cycle. When it came out he was devastated, and so was I at the prospect of buying another. We took the iPod out of the case and while a little damp it did not seem wet. We dried it off, and let it sit for a few days. Plugged it in to charge and it turned on. Unbelievable.... No moisture under the screen, nothing.
While I am sure a little bit of luck was involved with all the plugs being in etc., I am sure that any other case would not have provided that level of protection.
Thanks Otterbox.

Ipod Touch Screen Cracked Anyway
Date:January 21, 2013

We bought our daughter this case because she had cracked her screen before. We paid to have it fixed and purchased the Otterbox and immediately put it on in the store when we picked it up from being repaired because we didn't want to risk a crack again. Everyone says you can drop it, etc. etc. and that is not true. We are not even sure what happened--nothing unusual but this morning we looked at her Ipod Touch and there was a 3-4" crack on her screen under her Otterbox protector. I have sent a request form Otterbox to see if they will cover the cost to have it repaired yet again. I would not recommend this to anyone.
Cons: Not durable

Well when I recieved my ipod touch 4th gen, the only thing I could think about was buying an otterbox for it, too bad I was wrong, first this case is not protective I dropped this thing from hand one night and it land on its back I figured nothing was wrong but when I picked it up the the screen had a bit of discolorization to it, so second this thing just looks really bad the design is horrible looking, and I was not impressed at all, third the screen protector has a rainbow effect that looks horrible, I hope you enjoyed the review I was not happy with this case at all!!!
Cons: Low quality, Not durable, bad design

I've owned 3 defender series cases for iPod touch. The first were very durable (2nd/3rd generation). Everything fit very snug with little to no room for foreign particles to get in. The outside layer (rubberized) was very protective and fit tightly. Now that I have the 4th generation, I immediately ordered a new defender case. And when I received it, I was very disappointed. The quality of the 3rd gen is no longer there -- the outside rubberized covering is very flimsy -- it almost comes off when I reach in my purse to get it out. Also, the outside doesn't fit tightly around the shell and I cannot even lock the port protection in place -- always open.
Pros: Durable
Cons: Low quality, allows dirt etc to creep in

I bought the defender series Otterbox for my iPod touch and I was totally satisfied with it! Actually I love to just drop my iPod for the heck of it because it won't break. However one day I dropped it (on accident) and the screen hit a rock. Now there isn't a scratch, crack, or dent on the iPod itself, but there is a little dent in the screen protecter at the site where the rock hit it. The dent is tiny and not really noticeable so I won't complain about it. I own the case in viola and while I love that color scheme, I adore all the new colors Otterbox has released! I will defiantly be purchasing another case!!
Pros: High quality, Durable

One time, when I bought the case for my 2 sons and my 1 daughter, the daughter's case (White/Black) had ripped. she had it for 2 years and it scratched her iPod touch. Even the silicone is crummy.
Cons: worst silicone, must do better, not military grade

This is a fantastic case for my iPod touch. I really wanted this case and I finally got it a few days ago. It has already withstood a few bumps and drops. The built in screen protector is really fantastic and I would reccomend this case to a friend.
Pros: High quality, Durable, built in screen protector

While this case isn't the most protective out there, it is much more protective than most. I like this case because of the quality of the material and the design, it sure feels like it would save my iPod during a fall, but it is also stylish (can't say that about the more protective one) and comfortable to hold. With this case I can easily plug in any headphones or plug into the audio jack, others I have tried you can only fit the Apple ear buds into the jack, another plus for me is the openings for the light sensor and the Apple logo. The screen protector is so well designed you can barely notice it, and it hardly takes away from the Retina Display. Overall this is a well made case that will protect your iPod quite well, I will be sure to buy OtterBox products again!

I love this case and i have the older version where it has the two pieces to cover the headphone jack and such. I've had it for a couple months and its been dropped very close to the ground and my iPod is fine. I even accidentally spilled a little water over the screen area and water didn't go through so I'm happy with it.
The silicon is starting to tear and the plastic shell does have a crack in it but I use my ipod all the time so that's kind of expected after some use. And it does get kind of dirty but I've gotten used to it
Would totally recommend to a friend and when a new case is needed I will be getting another one!

The newest model, available in the current batch of colors, improves nearly everything about the previous model of Defender.
The silicon outer layer is now made out of a thicker, stronger version of the material, that, in conjunction with the new design of the inner plastic shell, stays in place much better than the previous design.
Due to the redesigned shell, the silicon doesn't (can't, really) shift out of place around the home button or the camera holes anymore, and the bottom flap has been redesigned as one piece rather than separate flaps for the dock connector and headphone jack, and stays in place until opened, unlike the previous model of Defender.
The silicon also feels less tacky and doesn't invite dust and dirt into the crevasses like the previous mix of the material did.
It may have taken a few revisions, but if you don't mind a little extra weight and bulk on your iPod and need an all-encompassing protective case, this is for you.
Pros: High quality, Durable, non-tacky, stays fitted
Cons: slightly heavy and bulky

Yeah, I know, the title sounds funny.
But what the title means is that my dog, (a daschund) who's chewed just about everything we give to him, even my mom's favourite shoes, bit this thing. He can destroy anything, but OtterBox has somehow found a way to protect my case from him. The protective layer over the screen doesn't even have a scratch on it.
I only have one suggestion: the little flaps that are supposed to protect the USB cable and earphone plugins don't fit well. They come off way too easily and are hard to put back on. Especially the earphone one. Although it is a minor issue I think OtterBox should try to fix this in the future.
I dropped my iPod at a baseball game with a cheap case that I got from a booth in a mall on it, and the screen cracked. I got OtterBox in hopes that it would never happen again, and I think OtterBox can do that for me. Also, it's a really nice-looking case.
Pros: High quality, Durable, weiner-proof
Cons: bulky, flaps don't stay on well

Really Great when I drooped it, but the bottom tore after a few months, and after about six months the the screen protector came unattached from the plastic. although six months is pretty good, I did purchase another one.
Pros: High quality, Durable
