Best iPod Touch cases – covers and cases for Apple iPod Touch e
If you happen to own one of the hottest MP3 players of the moment, the Apple iPod Touch (either the first, second or the latest third generation), I’m sure you’re wondering what you should do to protect it from scratches, accidental shocks or dust as best as possible. I know, because I was wondering the same thing when i bought mine some time ago.
And the answer is quite simple actually: dress it up with a brand new iPod Touch case from this collection bellow that contains some of the nicest iPod covers I could find online. They’re gathered during my own search for a suitable cover that would fit the iPod Touch and i guarantee they are top notch picks.
You will see a couple of black or brown leather classy iPod touch cases, but also some more everyday usage covers, like the Invisible Shield or the Belkin silicone cases. All of them will provide protection for your iPod Touch and won’t dig you a hole in your wallet either, as these iPod cases are quite affordable. After all, if you spent $300 – $400 for you MP3 player, you should definitely buy a suitable case for a mere 20 or 30 bucks, right?

Otterbox Defender for iPod Touch – not available anymore
Otterbox Defender for iPod Touch
If you’d ask me, Otterbox is the best case manufacturer at the moment. Because they make the products with the best price/performances rapport.
The Otterbox Defender is what they have to offer for the iPod Touch second generation and I absolutely love it, as it manages to provide very good protection against shocks, drops, dust and scratches, without being bulky or bad looking.
The front part consist of a durable thin film and the rest is made out of black silicone with extra toughened corners. Of course this case allows aces to all the functions and buttons of your Touch, so once you get it on, you will never have to get it off.
And as a proof of the quality this case provide, Otterbox offers for the Defender lifetime warranty (it’s not a waterproof case though, so beware of this aspect). And all these for still a decent price of around $25 (with a price cut, as the retail price for this case is over 30 bucks) .
Update: Unfortunately this case is not available anymore, at least for the time being. Please check some of the other available cases in this post.
Speck PixelSkin rubber case – price starts from $12.99
Speck PixelSkin rubberized case
The PixelSkin case for the iPod Touch 2G made by Speck is a very good cover choice for those not willing to spend lots of money on such an accessory, but still want to buy a good product backed up by a good brand name.
The PixelSkin is made out of rubber and has a thin film layer that covers the screen of your player . It does a good job in protecting it from shocks and accidental drops. Also, the case provides good grip, that’s why I consider it suitable for those working in harsher conditions.
This case is kind of bulky and definitely not for those looking for a stylish cover. But it ain’t bad looking either. Oh, and it can be found in lots of different colors (around 8 or 10), so you’ll be able to pick the one you like the most.
As i said at the beginning, the Speck PixelSkin is an affordable cover: you can find it online starting from $12.99, with a nearly 50% price cut from the usual retail price of $25. However, prices vary from color to color and may change in the near future.
Belkin 2-pack black and blue sleeves
Belkin offers those looking for a good case for their iPod Touch 2G a very solution: the 2-pack Silicone set, with a black and a blue cover, both made out of rugged and durable silicone . They have form-fitting design so they’re just perfect for your player and have a protective thin film on the front face, that cover the touchscreen without afecting its qualities any bit.
Belkin set: two cases for the price of one - many color schemes available
The sleeves are smart enough made to provide full access to all the controls and connectors, and that’s also something worth saying.
But, the best thing about this set is its price: for around $12.99 you get not one, but two great quality covers, good enough for most conditions and environments. They come in several different color sets, just click the link above for more details. And yes, there are fancier alternatives on the market, but if you’re looking for a decent every day case for your iPod Touch, this Belkin set is just perfect.
The Invisible Shield – Buy the Invisible Shield for 13.29
The Invisible Shield is not quite an iPod Touch case, but a tiny film layer in which your iPod gets wrapped, that is durable and virtually scratch-proof. The unique thing about the Invisible Shield is that it is so thin that it’s almost invisible, thus protecting your gadget without adding any bulky looking exterior to the sleek design of the iPod Touch. Of course the Invisible Shield is not the cheapest thin film protector on the market, but it’s the best.
Also, if you found none of the above good enough, you should also check out these:
- GTMax Permium Leather Flip Case – $19.99 (now only $9.99 for limited time) durable and high quality leather cover for all iPod Touch generations
- iPod Touch bundle – now only $15.95 – comes with a case, USB cable, car/wall charger, screen protectors and more
- Sportwrap for iPod Touch/Iphone – $21.99 (15% price cut) – suitable for sports and outdoor activities – attaches the player to your arm
Of course, there are other cases for your iPod Touch also, but these are the ones i found most interesting. I’ve tried to pick cases from different classes, that could cover the needs of most people. Also, I’ve tried covering only cases made for the iPod Touch 2nd gen, because this one is the newer model. But, if you haven’t found anything you liked here or have an older Apple Touch, you might find something interesting in this big collection of cases, all with pictures, reviews and good prices.
We also have other posts with great iPod cases, accessories and covers and with things you will need for your iPhone too, so if you found our collection of iPod Touch cases useful, you might want to check them out also. You can find them via the links bellow.
That clear case for the iPod touch looks pretty sweet. When I get my iPod Touch I hope those have become available.
ez view leather case looks cool!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, I’m using my iPod touch right now and I would like to know where I can find a cheap but cool iPod touch case.
i was wondering do you think those thick leather cases will weaken the wifi connection
I don’t think it will effect wi-fi capabilities too much. Might have a tiny tiny influence in areas where the signal is poor, but besides that, there shouldn’t be any problem.
Not a big fan of the leather cases so the iClear would have to be the one for me.
The clear ipod case is nice, I can actually see myself getting one of those! Unfortunately I think the leather ones look a bit like something my dad would carry around!
i’m glad i googled this site. i got an ipod touch last week. i want a clear case, i don’t want a leather one.
I purchased the Best Skins Ever case (same as InvisibleShield) After the usual struggles aligning it, it looks as if there’s no cover. The assets:
1. Thin profile is identical to the Touch.
2. Excellent protection against grease-marks on the screen.
3. Surface is impervious to scratches or scuffs.
It does not have protection against droppage, and there’s still a possibility of a screen cracking in a bad accident. I don’t plan to drop it, so that’s not an issue for me. If I were paranoid, I’d probably pick the Naked case, which is completely covered in plastic – but allows allows touch control to work.
There’s quite a large variety of different style handmade cases with different woods – from mahogany,
The handmade, custom wood ipod cases add a touch of class and are a unique way to protect your investment in an ipod touch or iphone.
For durable, shock-resistant cases, check out Otter Box. Their not in China, but Ft. Collins, CO. $35 for Ipod Touch.
i’m gunna go with the Best Skins Ever and leather or the one im withnow silicon which isnt good, bc as someone said before dirt get under ans scratches it .
ummm the cases don’t look very great. You would think that the leather would make your wi-fi connection busy or distorted.
Horrible, absolutly nothing to chose from.
Don’t say that you have the best cases when you barley have anythign for iPod Touches.
its fantastic sales save you loads of money
sweat clear case!
you dont have a big selection,you have like 4 cases!
I got a good cover and it prevent smash perfectly
do you have Roll Tide Alabama, Bama ipod covers?
Man, for being an Internet writer, you sure have horrible grammar.
The Belkin case is the best case if you want a thin case
Have you ever heard of Gizmobies? They offer scratch resistant cases that have kept my iPod from being killed multiple times. They sell great everywhere and are perfect for presents. they cost $20, but they will sell you wholesale if you buy in bulk. they dont come with a screen protector, but you can get those at walmart. They also stick to glass.
I have the DLO softshell case. Slim and stylish. Works for both sexes. Wont break. Not bulky nor does it attract lint. I’m dissapointed it did not make the list.
Is there a case (other than the otter box) that covers up the holes on the iPod so stuff doesn’t get under the screen?
