Customer Rating: 
Summary: I found the case to be acceptable but there were no instructions in the case that were legible.
Comment: The case is a good durable case. the belt clip seems sturdy enough although I cannot use it with my uniform, USAF. However the instructions were extremely small print and not really very explicit. I would have liked better larger instructions and more information of use of the case.
Otherwise the case itself seems quite durable for the most.

Summary: Protects from dropping, not from dust and dirt.
Comment: Since I use my iPod mostly during outside chores and on the garden tractor, I wanted tough protection, but dust still gets inside the case, especially affecting the open connector site. I was disappointed to discover that inserting the iPod into the case means stretching the upper lip of the case, which means once it's in the case, you're not inclined to take it out, but you really need to for cleaning if you're using it in very dusty situations. The lip on my case stretched enough at first insertion to look a bit messy in addition to not holding the screen protector securely in place.
Another disappointment is that the belt clip is very bulky and doesn't open very far so although it would work fine for a belt, if I wore one, it doesn't easily attach to other clothing. Fortunately, my fleece vest has a suitable pocket, but the thick clip and rubber texture of the case make slidding it into the pocket difficult. I do like the added protection the heavy case affords and the clip easily detaches so I'll use it without the clip--for a while anyway.
Since the iPod doesn't come in and out of the case easily, I can see why they make the cable connection slot open, but I'd really rather have that covered during my outdoor activities so it, too, is protected. I'll continue to look for a case that better meets my particular needs.
I can, however, see the value of this case in situations where rough treatment is likely and where it's not excessively dusty. A real advantage is that the rubber case keeps the unit from being slippery to hold if your hands are wet or sweaty and makes it less likely to slip off a stack of whatever to the floor. It's probably the perfect case for some users depending on individual needs. The iPod screen is clearly visible through the screen protector and the dial is completely accessible, plus having no fold over cover makes it easier to use one-handed.

Summary: Bounce Test
Comment: I had to spend a couple of days in the hospital getting zapped with radiation and took my Ipod 80GB Classic with me in this case. Three times it was dropped down to the hard floor from hospital bed height and it survived them all. I was required to lie totally flat for two days at a stretch, I was able to handle this with 80 GB of jazz and what-not on the Ipod to pass the time. I was more than happy when my player was fetched from the floor several times and remained in perfect working condition following the Inadvertent Bounce Tests. Was it the case that saved the day? Who knows, but it did survive, as did I and we are both still playing...

Summary: it ruined my ipod but good protection if you drop it
Comment: I got a new ipod for xmas and i won't be buying a toughskin case. i got a new ipod because my old one was scratched beyond belief from this case.the case is next to impossible to remove, the screen was so scratched it was literally unviewable. like another reviewer said, i thought it was the (not secure, removable) plastic screen cover that was scratched but they both were. where the belt clip attached to the cover left a huge scratch on the back of the ipod the size of a dime and the rubber around the top was loose. the plus's were that it was easy and comfortable to grip and the ipod was definately protected and safe if it was dropped. also i used the belt clip when i went to the gym and the ipod felt securely attached.

Summary: One of the best cases I have used for the Ipod Classic - Extreme protection!
Comment: I have the newest Ipod Classic (120 Gb/Sixth Generation) ... the newest one, at the time of this writing. Fits just fine. The case works great, and in my opinion, is perfect if you want good protection from shocks and are very active. The screen protector that comes with it is also great. This unit has saved my ipod from drops many times. Haven't really used the belt clip. Another commenter mentioned that they were unhappy with the belt clip and that this is not a good case to be using for workouts. My question to them: Why, in this day and age, would use a hard drive based player for workouts when flash players, besides the IPOD nano (or if you like the NANO), are fairly cheap. I can't say that I use this to work out. Too big. I use it for more for car, home, party, stero, and general use. I've dropped it many times than I would have liked to and the case excels in protecting it. I really like the fact that I have strong rubber protecting the case, along with a good, hard, plastic screen protector that fits pretty well over the case, without moving around.
Now here are some bad things, though minor.
Dust can sometimes get inside. It might be needed to taken out the case, and cleaned every once in a while. I usually clean it out every 2 or 3 months. If you don't mind a little dust, you can probably wait a little bit longer.
At the top of the case, near where the top portion of the screen protector meets the rubber, some may find that this is not as tight as they like, as some have mentioned in their reviews. This is true; it is slightly loose, but it hardly makes things move around or anything, and the Ipod, along with the screen protector DO NOT move and are still snug in my experience. A very minor point.
Also, it can be somewhat difficult to take out and put back in.
Overall, the cons are small, and I would recommend this case to anybody. This has extreme protection. I would also recommend the nano versions of these cases as well. They are very strong and offer great protection.
Speck ToughSkin Rubberized Case for iPod nano 3G (Clear)
I have used the above case for my NANO 3G, and it offers the same great protection as this case.
Five stars for both. In general, Speck makes some pretty good cases for music players in my opinion. I am still waiting for them to come out with a ToughSkin for the newest Ipod Nanon (4th Gen.).
From plastic to rubber to even metal, I've used many cases over the years. This is one of the best. For extreme protection for your Ipod Classic, don't wait; get this.
