Why does this seem to have less favorable reviews then the Black/ Citron Survivor Case + Belt Clip for iPod touch (5th gen)?

I personally don't know. I can't really tell you but I assure you this case will protect against almost anything. Just today I dropped my ipod off a two story roof while setting shingles, hardly a scratch on the case. I highly recommend this one but the choice is yours.

Because the Black/Black Survivor simply has more reviews, period. The percentage of bad reviews (and thus their star ratings) are about the same.

cause it looks dull, the survivor case is one of the best cases based on protection. As far as looks go this one looks functional.

I've come to the conclusion that ALL "cases" for Apple products are not particularly useful. Who has the ability to compete with APPLE what it comes to design & functionality?!

I use it with my 4th gen ipod and it works good. The dimensions are a little off but manageable considering our choices are limited when looking for armbands for the old 4th gen ipod. The main difference between the 4th and 5th is that the 5th gen has a camera. There is small cutout in this plastic clip case but doesn't interfere with functionality. All in all if you can deal with a small portion of the of top part of the dial being covered up, it is a great armband and clip.

I think Griffin is marketing it as though it fits both iPad mini and iPad mini 2. (On their website it looks like the same product is shown on both the iPad mini and iPad mini retina pages). However, I got this case for my iPad mini 2 and would say that I'm not 100% sure they should be doing that. The corners curl off the screen just the slightest amount in a way that I don't think they should be and the plastic sides don't entirely line up together in a way that I think they should. It's just slightly less secure/sealed than I think it should be and I worry that it might not be as strong in a drop. That said: (1) I've never seen how the same cover fits the thinner iPad mini... maybe it does these same things with that device?, and (2) I still think it's one of the more protective models out there so I am keeping it. I note that Otterbox did the same thing with their iPad mini case -- though it is not made to have the same glove-like fit so it didn't seem to be the same issue when I tried that one. Despite the better fit of the Otterbox, I decided to keep the Survivor because I didn't like the Otterbox for other reasons (WAY too hard to get off). I think Griffin should come out with an iPad mini 2-specific cover, but in the absence of one, I am keeping this one as still a better bet than the other options out there for someone who wants a very durable case just short of the tank that is Otterbox.

It's far more durable than the clip for a Lifeproof case. The weakest point, as in most swivel clips, is with the swivel. They all tend to eventually fail, or at least loosen up to where the swivel no longer stays in place.

I did the same thing, not knowing that the 5th gen has the click wheel a little lower towards the dock connector. When you are looking at the iPod you can manage it (the word Menu is cut in half and needs the edge of a finger to press). But you sometimes only scroll 3/4 of the way around when adjusting the volume and can miss the back/next buttons and hit the pause button instead. I'm considering adding a small drop of glue for a bump, or widening the opening with a Dremel, so I can sense by feel where the back/next buttons are.

I bought a black one like that and it was exelent, haven't harmed my ipod since i got that case.How ever avoid taking it off and putting it back on several time as it will stretch out the rubber exterior, its a great cheap case though and it may be no otter box but will protect your ipod

Hi: My case is same number. My stand does work. My problem is with the belt clip. It does not hold up and cracks. Working on #4. Hope this clarifies my posting

I gave up using the belt clip. I almost lost my iPod. It does not hold very well

Dropped my phone many times and the case has protected it. BTW - due to the case's very tight fit, I had to cut away the material at the bottom in order for the charger cord to fit properly. Many years ago I purchased a case from Ballistic for my iPhone 4S which I use for work now. It is a much higher quality case - no modifications needed with extra protection on sides, front, & edges than this one. However, it was several years ago at a time when there were very few options. I enjoy the design very much and was willing to try it. No regrets! Hope this helps your decision-making.

This is one of the Ballistic Tough Jacket Case series, but there is also Tough Jacket Case Maxx, which is a sturdier one: it has a belt clip and some screen replaceable protection. In my opinion, you should choose which one best suits your needs, the normal tough jacket case works perfectly for my phone, but i don't go around testing it, and just didn't want to make my phone bulkier.

Yea it's pretty much the same. The rubber case that goes around the outside has a bit of a lip, that gets hung up on your pocket sometimes. But I also have a real otter box and it does that as well. And the plastic screen is just as touch sensitive also. Only really experienced a problem with it playing a game injustice gods among us because you have to hit close to the rims of the case. Otherwise it is great.

Hi Anthony. The reviews are mostly for the iPhone 5. Amazon shows reviews for both versions of the same item together.

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:

IDK honestly, all I have had are Ipod Touches. I didnt like it cause it was cheaply made and didnt fit around my arm (not enough elasticity)

I can't say for sure about the Griffin Survivor hard case, but if it is one like the Survivor Skin for iPod touch: Griffin Survivor Skin for iPod touch (4th gen.), blue It works great. Try to avoid cases that wrap around just the edges of the iPod. I have found that they are terrible with any screen protector. ArmorSuit rocks.

I think it's because people have differences in opinions on the words "fits" and "comfortably". I'd also go so far as to say that these people don't take care of their systems properly. If you have to push your Vita in the case hard, and you have to use something to pry it out, that is NOT a comfortable fit. All of these people stating that the Vita 2000 model "fits" in this case are WRONG, and are putting their Vita in danger by putting pressure on it like that. This case is for the older model, simply put. These positive reviews from Vita Slim owners are confusing people, forcing them to buy it for themselves, only to be disappointed.
