Attractive Protection for Your iPod MiniStrengths: great fit, protection for screen, translucent, thick enough to provide real protection Weakness: some users might find case thickness objectionable, why the circular cut-out in the back? I bought this "skin" to provide some protection for my iPod mini, since I was afraid that it would eventually get scratched or nicked in use. It is easy to put on and is translucent, so allows the color of your iPod to show through. It also provides protection for the screen while still allowing you to read it. All connections are readily accessible. There is a cut-out in the front of the skin for the control "wheel". There is also a circular cut-out on the back (about 1-1/8" diameter)that allows the Apple logo to show through. I don't understand the reason for this, since you would still be able to see the logo through the skin anyway. The skin is about 1/16" thick, with some extra thickness at the front and back panels. It is thick enough to make you feel that it is providing real protection without adding much bulk at all. I have read other reviews which indicate that the iPod will not fit in the belt clip with this skin on. I do not use the belt clip, so I cannot comment on that. Because the skin is silicone, it has a grippy surface, which allows you to hold the iPod more securely. It also will not slide easily on a hard or smooth surface. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Kensington Protective Case
Strengths: Provides Good Protection For the Ipod plus the case is made of silicone so it doesn't slide around and has a grip on most surfaces. The screen protector is alright it does protect.
Weakness: The screen protector isn't very clear. You can't use the belt clip with the cover on. if you drop it and it lands on the top or bottom it will get scratched or dented.
I use my ipod mini when working out and running and i wouldn't buy this again because the belt clip doesn't work when the case is on and that is a big thing for me. plus its almost like you have to have the backlight on, on the ipod to see through the screen protector. other than all of this its is thick silicone so it does protect the ipod well on the places that it covers.
