Apple Incase Ping Pong Gaming Cover for iPod touch (4th Gen.) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would prefer to not use a case with my ever so thin 4th generation iPod Touch. Unfortunately, that preference led to an $149 replacement bill when my son dropped my iPod on a parking lot shattering the screen. So on the way out of my local Apple Store with my replacement iPod, I picked up this case. The lip extends a couple of millimeters above the plane of the screen, so hopefully, the case will take the brunt of any impact when dropped on a flat surface. It can't protect against screen side down drops on non-flat surfaces though, but how could it?
The case looks great, substantial and easy to grasp. The back texture is like those needle art toys where you press your hand, or in this case two balls, on one side and it's contour appears on the other side. It's a bit like a rubberized plastic, but not rubber itself in feel, so it's stiff but grippy. Something to hold onto during intense gaming sessions.
My one big dislike is the amount of pressure needed to use the volume control buttons. The iPod Touch's volume buttons are hard enough to press without a case, and with this case it takes an uncomfortable amount of squeezing to change the loudness. Probably not inCase's fault, but they do aggravate the situation. I almost dropped my rating to 3 stars because of this issue, but I figure there was nothing to be done, and you can adjust the volume, it's just harder.
Also, the case adds so much thickness to both the back and the area around the dock connector, that most iPod docks will not allow a connection, so it's either remove from the case or use a syncing cable exclusively.
The only device this case will fit is the 4th generation iPod Touch. It is molded to that device exactly.
So, a good case, good enough to be sold in Apple retail stores. I'm happy with my purchase and wish I'd made it a week ago.
