Great case - keeps iPod lightweight and portable

I have tried three different cases for the 32G iPod touch so far, and I prefer this one the most. It's lightweight and thin, so you can easily slip it in and out of your pocket. It's also more durable than leather or silicone, so it will protect your iPod from damage more effectively. Also, the belt clip is removable so you can take it off if you want to put it in your pocket or put it on if you want to wear it while exercising, etc. Lastly, it is easy to move the iPod in and out of the case if you want.

I would also recommend buying a plastic screen protector along with this case, since the design is such that the screen is exposed. Combine this case with a screen protector and you shouldn't have any problems.

Best I've found

I first bought a Contour case for my ipod 5th gen and loved it. When I bought the itouch 32 (a real investment) I searched for a the matching Contour case

The case fits snugly around the ipod without interfering with any of the controls and is plenty sturdy enough to protect the ipod from a fall -- as I learned from experience -- and is small enough as to not really increase the size of the ipod.

I insert my ipods in a cradle in the car so a silicon case would not work. With the contour, I just pop it out of the case and slip it into the cradle. Couldn't be easier.

You can't own an ipod without a case. A very snug silicon case might work well if you never need to remove the ipod, but if you need to frequently remove the ipod from a case, you won't be disappointed with the Contour case.
