SO, I just got this, but there is no clear plastic screen. How will this protect the iPod screen itself from not shattering if it is dropped?

It won't hit the screen because there is a level of distance from the case and the screen

I think Nancy's question is about the two layers of plastic screen protection. One of them is clearly intended to be removed and the other seems glued to act as a screen protector. I removed both, using a sharp knife to separate the thicker film from the ipad shell. I am not a big fan of screen protectors, but if I was using it in an industrial or food service environment I would have left it on.

I had mine over a year, did not notice that it had that. My clear plastic screen cover is part of the case.They might have changed the newer ones in a different way, or from what their on line video shows, that video might have been on the site a long time.

I had the same problem with my iPod touch. It still works,just fine. Glass is being held together by the screen protector.

I had to guess .... I cleaned off screen then carefully laid it from the top and carefully rolled it down. It works because I've dropped it on the screen several times and it's ok.

It is not a glass covering, it's a durable plastic screen. The screen hasn't given us any problems, but both of our cases cracked on the side after a while.

No interior screen protection - you slide in the iPod, and there are openings on the side for volume control. The screen protection comes when the case is closed, which will probably be the case when the iPod is in use, so an interior protection is unnecessary. FYI. There are headphones available with iPod controls, so you can leave the pod in the case closed and still forward and reverse tracks without touching the iPod.

It's a silicone case that you slip into a hard shell for double protection. There is nothing covering the screen. You'll want to get those plastic/film screen protectors. For your screen.

Mine is transparent: it underlines the beauty of the white iPod and protects it from scratches and falls.

It's a rubber coating then a hard plastic shell. There is a plastic sheet to cover your screen. I've not dropped mine very hard yet, but I'm sure I will. I feel confident that there's as much protection as most. Very handy too.

Yes the case does have to parts it will prevent it from cracking more.I tested the case on my iPod but it does not have a cracked screen.The case it very lightweight and does not add any weight to your iPod it self. I have 3 cases and this is the one I use the most.

No, it doesnot have plastic over the ipod wheel. (it only has plastic over the ipod window). I have 2 of these--they are very very nice

You need to make sure that both front and back sides are connected together in order to work. No glue is need because the blue tool is what you use to take off or put on the screen. Hope this is helpful you can also look up a video on YouTube on how to replace an ipod screen.

Take a piece of lightweight cardboard and gently run it down the screen over the plastic. This should take care of it. Also make sure your screen is clean.

I was wondering about that too. The case I got when I bought my iPhone has raised rubber edges around the front to keep the screen from touching the ground if it falls.

There isn't anything that protects the screen while you are using it. The overall protection for the sides and back is great, and when you snap on the cover, it's quite well protected, but you need to take the cover off to play, and then your screen is unprotected. I was concerned about this when I bought it, but I've not had any issues so far.

Yes the screen will be protected from shattering. The corners are hard so shattering could not occur. Also, the front is higher that the screen itself therefore it will not shatter. I hope this helped your decision.
