Speck Flip Stand

Maestrosteve, can you post some pics of the flipstand? The pictures on the website are terrible and computed generated (inaccurate) as well. Thanks!

maestrosteve,

I would like to know if the speck flipstand case provides protection for the iPod's screen. I cannot tell from the pictures on their website. Also could you elaborate on the "dock" that comes with it. Something about not having to remove it from the case to connect it to the dock? Thank you.

Does the original have a screen protector or is it just a cut out?

The screen is totally protected, as the ipod is in a totally clear hard case with openings for (in the new ipod) the 4 buttons, and headphone/remote jack. Even the touch wheel is covered by a folding piece which folds out to become a stand, and at the same time reveals the opening for the bottom dock connector.

The dock is similar to Apple's dock, just a little taller, is angled, and the ipod in the flipstand case fits into the grooves in Speck's dock, where it wouldn't in Apple's dock. It's a perfect fit. You just need Apple's cable, the one that came with the ipod to hook up the dock, pretty much the same way you need Apple's cable to use Apple's dock.

If you are asking about the case for the classic ipods. The case does add some bulk but not that much. It fits in my pocket with out any problems getting it in or out. The plastic looks to be a little under 1/16th of an inch thick. I just wish they would make a clear one.

If you are asking about the 3rd generation ipods:
There are 4 holes in the case where the buttons are, so you don't have to open the case to push the buttons. You never have to open the case at all, not even to dock it. The only reason to pop the top open would be to just move the hold switch.

As far as thrillz3's question goes - It adds maybe an eigth of an inch all around on each side. Virtually nothing. Fabulous protection.

The stand part flips open. It is attached. Think of it as an attached cover to the dial. That cover of the dial acts as a stand only if you flip it open all the way, but to use the dial, just flip the cover about an inch. You don't have to open the top of the case, and like I stated earlier, you never have to remove the ipod from this case to use any of it's functions.
