Cases for the Ipod Touch

Get the Invisible Shield. I had one on my 80GB iPod video and it's great. And no, no residue.

Will a front shield not affect the touch mechanism?

Does the film not want to peel off at the edges as well?

If this product works as good as advertised, then i'm all over it.

I just ordered a shield to, the free international shipping sounds great.

Power Support has it's crystal film set and I have nothing but positive things to say about it. I've bought several for my 5th gen iPod, and will be doing so again for the Touch. I don't really think the film will be needed for the front if the screen is the same as the iPhone's, but the chrome back definitely needs the film.

The invisible shield does indeed have a lot of good reviews. You can find it at www.shieldzone.com

However, they seem to be ridiculously priced. Though they haven't announced one yet for the touch, www.bestskinsever.com seems to offer the exact same product at a fraction of the cost. They have one for the iphone which several ilounge users have vouched for with pics.

No, it doesn't. Follow the instructions exactly (ie, leave it to 'set' after applying) and it ain't coming off. If for some reason you experience problems with the shield that contradict what they advertise it's abilities as, get in touch with them and they'll send you a new one for free, provided you then send the old one back. I did.

It's great.

I Just Pre-Ordered the Full Body Shield from shieldzone.com... The only thing is when will they ship it out... after the ipod touch is on the market or before...

It doesent say on there site or on the email they sent out confirming the order?

Also are you people who are going to use a invisible shield, are you also going to use a clear case i.e one from Contour Designs?
Thanks

Yea the iphone version of the case from contour Dedigns looks great... (I don't think they will make it much different to the iphone version but you never know...)

Belkin is another company i think but they havent mentioned there new line of ipod cases..

I did you order just the front protector from shieldzone... and going to get a case as well?

Just pre-ordered my iPod Touch and I have been doing some research on cases and such. The Invisible Shield you've guys have mentioned sounds great but not sure if I want to have all this thin film covering my new iPod. I'm rather thinking of purchasing Griffin's iClear to protect the device but I also want to know about the touch screen section, if it protects that part and if it does, how will this affect the functionality of it.

I'm also considering Griffin's California Roll (Black) as a travel carrying case. It looks cool and it has the pockets for the iPod's cables.

Thats the question im wondering to, i love the iclear from griffin, but the touch area im not sure how it will work. Im sure its some sort of flip open design or the front will be completely open, thats my guess. Either way im getting the invisible sheild because its a touchscreen i think the screen is bound to get scratched up or smudges all over it. The shield would be easier to clean i think. I wasnt considering the case until i saw those Conteir ones, they looks impressive, didnt think a case could look at that good.

I ordered the Invisible Shield yesterday so I would have protection ready before the Touch arrives. I checked my order and it shipped today. So yes, it will get here before 9/28.

However, I didn't find out till after that Invisible Shield has a "orange skin" texture to it. Some iPhone users described it as 'rubbery'. That's great for the back of the Touch--the texture provides grip. But not for the front. I want a skin as smooth as glass so I can see the 'Net as clearly as possible. And it's way more expensive than Best Skin Ever or Power Support Crystal shields. However, neither of these companies have skins for the Touch yet.

So, I jumped the gun a bit. I might use the Invisible Shield for the back and a clear skin for the front.

I plan to buy a case too.

I called them. Nice people.

How do you find out if your Invisible Shield has shipped...?

Also do you guys like the first case from Belkin ?... its not a very good picture if you ask me...

I hope my shield comes in time for my itouch, i also hope someone does a video to show how to put it on correctly... as im always not good at it ;)

I don't think it is ugly... but it is one of the first to be made and be on sale...

Kap05 i read somewhere you had to leave it for 48hours...

but i guess we will see when they finally ship... ;)

Orange substance? .

No. "Orange peel" is a term used to describe a textured surface. Pick up an orange (the fruit) next time and run your finger over its surface. That's what the term "orange peel" refers to. The "peel" of a fruit is another word for its "skin". It is not used to refer to the action of "peeling", so he's not saying it peels off too easily, he's saying it has a textured (as opposed to completely smooth) surface.

Probably just go with a best skin ever if I do any kind of protection.

that showcase...case... for the iphone looks hot. *slaps self* but i'm unclear from the website if it covers the touch screen or a separate film protector would be necessary for that.

anyone receive the invisible shield yet?

It isn't listed as a pre-order anymore. I ordered mine last night so we shall see.

I figure the Invisible Shield plus a nice leather case like the Elan from Griffin. Something I can slip it in and out of, should be plenty of protection. I want to be able to slide it out of the case so I can mount it in my car for the ride home, etc.

I'm not so much worried about scratching the screen as I am cracking it. If I use the invisible sheild with no case I risk bumpng into something and cracking the screen. that's why I would like to find a case that covers the screen as well.

I finally got mines, arrived this morning. Now just need my ipod touch to ship and be working lol.

Which is why I'll pick up some sort of leather padded folio style case. I'll have the touch protected from scratches and when in transit it will be in the padded leather case for those "Whoops" moments. I'm digging the Griffin Elan Convertable right now...

hmm now that the shields are being delivered, what are u guys getting for a case?

I like the iclear from griffin , but i need to see how the front of the case is created. I also liked the contour case that is designed for the iphone. No announcement for an ipod touch version yet, so we will see.
