Ipod Touch 4G Cases

It does not. With this new glass, I don't feel I need one. A screen protector is far softer and would take more damage in dents and scratches, not to mention expensive (and a pain) to replace.

One more question. For the glass side, if you were to put it face down on a table or flat surface, would the glass make contact or is there a pretty good space?

I used to love that I could do this with the Incase slider for my 3G iPod Touch.

Well, I think the new one is thinner; 9-7, right? If you're looking for something temporary I would suggest a cheap generic case from eBay.



No Switcheasy? :(:(:(

I'm torn now, green looks decent.

I found that my BB had them on a separate end cap shelf and not with the regular iPod Touch or MP3 player cases so you might want to check around.

Still, why couldn't they just have made a simple black case instead of all the colors!?!?

*edit*

For those that own the Belkin case, how are you liking it? Does it offer more grip while holding? I find that the Touch is a little too thin and slippery, it feels like it's going to slide out of my hand at times! Also, how much bulk does the case add? In this case, I actually would prefer some extra bulk!
 
I agree. Without a case, the new Touch is slippery. The Belkin case adds just enough bulk and grip to make it very comfortable to hold. I don't feel like I'm going to drop it any more and it slides right into my pocket as well.

BTW, the Night Sky looks almost black in low light. :)
 
I went to BB yesterday and I saw the Grip Vue, but I was disappointed that they only have sharp colors. What happened to the colors from the 2G/3G??

No kidding! You would have thourhg a basic color would have been included in the line up!

I'm tempted by the green now, it would definitely be easier for me to find around the house when I misplace it!
 
I'm going to try to pick up the Griffin Vue today... Sometimes it pays to release your product first...

Got mine today. Definitely the low profile look I wanted; feels and looks like black suede. Very attactive.

All openings clear the space they need to—camera lens, speaker, earphone jack, etc. The power and volume switches are covered by the usual raised “buttons.” The power button takes a little extra oomph to make work since the case fits a little less snug than the Incase I’m accustomed to from my previous iPod Touch. Not loose enough to be a problem...actually, “loose” overstates it a bit...just not as tight a fit as what I’m used to.

Will work for the time being, until something irresistible comes out.

Here’s what I ordered (Incipio Dermashot for iPod Touch 4G)

Definitely think the included stand is a stroke of genius in its simple design (would have loved to have this on a couple of overseas flights the past two years, pre-iPad). Am still pondering the “do I or don’t I” question on a screen protector. Now that it’s glass, simple logic tells me it shouldn’t be necessary unless someone wants to begin scraping diamonds down the face....right?
 
As a follow-up on the GripVue, note the notch to the right of the charging port. That's the unobstructed speaker...

Also, note the colors on the "Tint" versions (Black, Clear (shown above), Royal Purple, Night Sky, and Taro). It's odd that the bright colors that Best Buy has (besides Night Sky) are not shown. They also have a "Metallic" line (Black, White, and Taro).

Thanks for the clearing this up.

The reviewed by iLounge states that the Moto case by Gumdrop does cover the speaker.
 
I got the Belkin Grip Vue in the blue color at bestbuy. Really a toss up between the three colors IMO.

I was thinking that blue might look feminine but it's actually pretty slick with the black ipod. thanks for those pics.

I am opting for a screen protector granted it's a high quality one that won't get too scratched up quickly and needs replacing every month. The reason is my GF's 2G touch which is also made of scratch resistant scren has a couple of scratch marks on it and a very small little "dig" in the screen, like something hit it and took a small chunk of the glass with it lol. Not the iPod's fault but if I can help it then I'd prefer to have one if it's not really noticeable. I would hate to have the mini scratches.
 
I got the silicone case today, but then I also decided to go with Belkin Grip Vue. Overall, the Belkin Grip Vue is my preferred case since it's shock-absorbing, and doesn't slip as much. :)

Silicone case - quite nice and fits well with the iPod Touch.

The microphone is a little close to the case, but still visible.

I went to a few BB and FINALLY found a normal color. It's dark purple. :rolleyes:

2G/3G vs. 4G Belkin Grip Vue

The microphone is clearly visible, compared to the silicone case.
