Why is the hole so small where the i-pod connector is to the head phone jack? I can not get my jack to connect properly and it cuts in and out!

It may have been cut improperly. But it sounds like your not using the adapter plug which is straight and a little slimmer . It should have come with the case. Yours cut in and out because it's not all the way in. Find or buy the adapter plug.

If it is the sound cuts out, you may have a wire crack in the line where it connects to the jack. Wiggle/hold the wire near the jack (plug in), if you can keep the sound on, you may need to replace the line. I have had mine several years and mine line is worn. Just "balancing" the line has worked and I haven't bothered getting a new one yet.

I was afraid that I had this same problem with my tablet that I just bought three days ago. However, rather than me trying to force the headphone end into the tablet, I took it back to the store where I bought it. The repair guy looked at it and took a very small screwdriver and stuck it in the hole in the tablet. The ear buds went in. He said that it looked like the inside was not exactly lined up with the outer port and by using the small screwdriver, he aligned it and now the ear phones will plug in. It's still a tight fit, but the sound is great.

Yes, that is exactly why I have come - the headphones don't fit if you push the jack in all the way. What have you done? Did you return yours to the store, or did you contact the manufacturer?

My daughter has an iPhone 5 and the wire that came with the headphones attaches to it from either end. Maybe you have a faulty connecting wire?

I would say a faulty pair. I did have a similar experience when trying to plug it into an older HTC phone that had an Otter waterproof cover on it...the jack wouldn't make good enough connection....

Apple likes to be different...some of their phones have a different jack size...I don't know which iphone you have...look in the specs for a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Same thing happened to me, it only played through my right speaker. I found that if I you push down the plug into the jack, and hold it there, you can hear it through the other speaker. Sometimes it would just work normally... but yeah I also found the same flaw in the product

I never tried it before, but to answer this questin I got out my earbuds (I think they were skull candy that I use for my ipod shuffle). Much to my surprise, the pin was too thick for the hole. I do not think it is a standard size.

Someone please answer this question. The pictures almost clearly show that the headphone jack is not accessible because the bottom-left support blocks it.

That's a good question because I've had that with other cases too. Not this one. The input is cut out large enough to easily connect headphones. I use the Apple iPhones and there is a little space all around the connection once it is plugged in. I really think this is a terrific case.

Sorry, but the plug/iOS input jack is noisy. If you want a lower noise floor, you should get an adapter that hooks up to the 30-pin/lightning jack like an Apogee Jam.

same problem... at low volumes with ipod touch 2nd gen. it has a terribly obnoxious static... nothing i do seems to correct the problem. using line in, it sounds great, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the system.

It has a hole that let you plug headphones into the phone like normal, only iphone ones work so far that I know of. It's quite a deep hole to actually reach the phone.

You might try wedging a small piece of thin plastic to secure the port. If that doesn't work, you are probably in the market for a new MP3 player.

The same happened to me. The jack was not fully inserted. Before plugging in the USB side, make sure that the plug on the device side is fully inserted by pushing it in all the way.

Are you saying that the "plug" which is a 3.5mm is too big...and that the ipod hole is too small...I don't know much about different brands od ipods but Radio Shack did at one time carry an adapter that would let you use 3.5 mm headphones... Rick
