According to my daughter who I bought the case for, it is bulky if you want to fit it in your pocket. She had a plastic case that snapped onto the back of the iPod which fit nicely in her pocket. But after dropping it a few times, she dinged her iPod and cracked the case (which is why I bought her the Blazon ArmorBox). This case definitely protects much better than her previous case. With the half plastic case on, thickness of the iPod is 5/16". With the Blazon case on, the thickness is a full 1/2".

It is VERY bulky. It's designed to be foolproof, so it's almost like a bumper. I used my ipod in a gym where it's constantly being dropped, so it suits that need very well, but for something you want to keep in your pocket, there are probably better options

I am very happy with this case and do not consider it bulky. It provides excellent protection.

It really doesn't feel that much larger, compare that to your phone and wallet. I love the case. I bought the new 5 and had to have this case immediately.

I don't feel like pulling out a ruler but I have a Virgin Mobile Supreme and am currently using this case. It is a monstrous phone if you're used to somehting like an iPhone in case you're worried bout size... I was too. I've dropped my phone a couple times and it's still holding up too

Not bulky at all. It keeps the phone slim looking. The screen protector it came with seems good. I put my phone everywhere and I have dropped it more than a few times and it doesnt have any scratches yet. I actually ran over it and there is no visible damage to either the case or phone, there was a surface scratch on the pink part but it has gone away. Id recommend it.

It adds surprisingly little bulk to the phone...still fits into front (or back) pants pockets albeit not the same pocket as your wallet! And as the previous answer stated it still feels great in your hand. I've looked at a lot of cases and frankly this is the one that gives the best protection with the least bulk. Hope this was helpful.

It is such a simple mechanism, i.e. a pair of springy pincers, that is works well with my 5s or really most standard phone sizes. I could see a really thick case being an issue perhaps, like a Otterbox, but I have a fairly light case and works fine.

well when i first was thinking about getting it is thought the same thing ... was it going to slip rt out of my hand.. well i didnt dropped it yet.. it has a nice grip to it.. the rt side button is tough at first to push it,but got alot better a day or two later.. also u might want to cut out the screen protector .. it always looks like there is water under it as well as dirt..

Its not bulky, but there's a slimmer case for it. Search "J case". It's the thinnest case I've found it.

to me personally its about average when you put a protective case on it. i personally dont think its very bulky. we've not used an otterbox on this phone yet

Hello April, for your first question I would have to say that it fits perfectly, I love this case and it looks great also. and for ypur second question the clip is harder then the case but also the case is harder than most cases that doesn't have the rubber and plastic case. I had other cases and by far this is the best for the phone. It protects the phone and also the screen while you have it in the case.I hope this can help you decide and jave a wonderful day. - Victor AB.

Hi Anna! This case was made only for the classic 30GB model. We have cases available for later models of the iPod, though none at the moment for the 5th generation. Apologies for that. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

Hi Kevin, the grip/traction on the back surface is great. The sides of your phone are completely covered and it overlaps just enough over the front edges. You have to try it out. I am very happy with the case. Hope this info helps. I am going to order another one in a different color.

The button access on the phone is perfectly fine . No trouble what so ever when pressing the home button (yet the touch id doesnt work that great , i turned mines off . I use touch assist doe so i dont really use any of the buttons for longer lifetime of the buttons ) . Other than the touch id being a little laggy the buttons work fine . No problem . I recommend getting this case if you are one (like me) who is really worried when it comes to my phone being scratched or damaged , especially if i go out or to a party i dont worry as much when placing my phone on the table . Knowing it wont get spilt on or when it drops wont crack the screen because of the shock proof . I dont know what else to say . Its great , less to worry about , and it has a nice slick design and you can order skins for it as well ! Hope this help !

I don't think the 6th Generation iPod Touch is out yet. I bought the 5th Gen in November of 2014 and attached the OtterBox Defender to it. It works great. I got the purple color so i can find it easier. Also attached the strap (didn't like at first) and makes it easier to pull out of my pocket, briefcase. A great add to my collection.

I am afraid I can't help you with this one. I gave the Otterbox to a 10 year old for a birthday present. He does like it and still uses it. But, his parents do not let him take his IPod out with him. So, he has never commented on how easy it slides in and out of his pocket.

The case is tight, but not too tight. I actually like that in that as the touch will not slip out. However, one of the leather support straps goes right over the volume rocker switch (you can not see any of the switch). However, I have been able to use the switch anyway as the leather holding the touch is thin and supple enough. I love the case, but I do have to pull it out to use an iMuff bluetooth adapter as the cut out around the charging/sync port is not quite big enough for the iMuff adapter to go in far enough. Everything else plugs in just fine. The magnets that hold the cover down work decent. The case is tight, but not too tight. I actually like that in that as the touch will not slip out.
