Bottom edge protection? How much protection does this give for the bottom edge of the iPod Touch, where the cable slots and all that are?

I just got this case at Best Buy yesterday. I sorted through numerous cases. This is the only case that has a wrist strap, which will be invaluable when I hand my touch to my 6 year old to play with. There is NOT a lot of protection along the bottom side of the iPod. However, I feel that it's very secure inthe case. The case appears that it will provide a lot of corner protection, as well as edge protection. I had an iPhone for two years, and it wasn't until it got left on the roof of the car and driven with it up there that the screen shattered. I know I've only had the case for 24 hours, but I really like it so far. It has reduced the fatigue of holding the skinny iPod too, as the flarred edges are a little bit thicker too. I really like it!

I don't know what you mean when you say "port protection"; I think of firewall protection. But, the silicon cover protects my I-pad from just about everything; when I drop it, when I spill something, the cover protects from just about everything. I would buy it again and, again; it is well worth the money, I love it.

I purchased one of these gel cases for my iPod Touch (5th generation). I had no trouble with the lightning connector. I did have a problem with the earphone plug. Because I was using non-Apple earbuds, the connector plug was slightly too large for the hole, so I ended up using a Dremel tool to grind a slightly--1/16th inch--wider opening. After that, all my various earphone connectors worked fine. Otherwise, the case is well-designed--tough, slim, with a nice little ridge around the front to give some protection to the screen should the Touch fall face-down on a flat surface. (In other words, if it falls face down into gravel, with uneven points sticking up out of the ground, your iTouch screen could very well be scratched or cracked. But it it falls on a flat surface, the ridge around the screen will cushion the fall and prevent the screen from striking the floor directly.)

This two layered (soft silicone and hard shell) case is very effective in protecting the iPod Touch 5 device. I've had it for a couple of months now and it's doing its job well. It does add a little bit of bulk, but I don't mind because it's a "cool" case and my device is well protected. I do recommend it.

I really have no PERSONAL experience to base an answer on, but my three grandchildren (10-13 years old) didn't mention having any problems, and they use the cases on their iPods at all times.

I use my iPod touch (4th Generation) with an Otterbox on it all the time. Like with most things, after you've done it a couple times, it goes on with no hassle at all.

It covers the bottom corners. It's all open in the middle for the headphone jack, charger and the speakers.

The top is completely covered except for the button. The bottom is covered around the corners coming down, but stops at the headphone jack on one side and is uncovered until it reaches the end of the speaker on the other side. Hope that helps.

it's just the sides - the bottom is open for headphones - top open to turn it on and there' s nothing on the front. It's basically just to hold the iPod so you can clip it on. That said, it's a nice case

I use a screen protector that sits flush on the screen. The case slides over the edges of the iPod and the screen protector, so, no, the screen protector is not pushed up.

It's protects the iPod against any falls so yes but the case does not cover the edges along the screen so the screen is not protected as should be. If iPod with this case on fell face down screen could shatter. I hope this answers your question.

I am using it just for protection for my i pod. Whenever I have to hook it up to any of my mp3 devices (i.e. car computer) I have to remove the case and then plug the jack into my device. The only time the case does not hinder me from using it without and removal of hardware is when I link it via blue tooth, anything wireless. Hope I could help

My last Ipod I shattered the screen in the middle of the night. I sometimes sleep with gemstones and I must have rolled over and knocked the screen in my sleep with a stone. Want to make sure this does not happen again. Will this screen prevent any mistaken "knocks" in the night. Not sure if the screen protector is thin and actually protecting from a blow or if it is just to prevent scratches??

Nope. I have the same case. It is not very thick. My screen still touches surfaces when placed face down. It offers little protection. The bottom edge where the power port is bends and moves just in normal use holding it in my hand. I was very disappointed with this case. It offered very slight protection if dropped and it happens to land on a corner by chance. There's no buffer zone around the screen so if takes a face plant there's no protection. My camera glass got scratched also as there is about a micron that protects the camera glass from contacting surfaces when placed on its back. My point...using this case is like not having a case. Honestly I have it in my hand right now. Nope. I have the same case. It is not very thick. My screen still touches surfaces when placed face down. It offers little protection.

Mine broke on the bottom near the lightning connector. I'm buying another product as many reviewers have reported this problem with this product. It seems to be a design shortcoming.

It's hard to say the rubber on this is not very thick. I don't believe it will obserb the shock of the impact if you drop your iPod touch. But this case does hug the ipod tough firmly in the case it won't fall out.
