HipCase for iPod Touch is Hip Indeed
I received the case and put it to use immediately. It is everything I hoped it would be. It's quality leather, small and with a screen covering flap, an all around iPod carrier and protector. It's easy open easy close magnetic closure flap folds back completely out of the way when the iPod is in use. The belt clip is low profile yet secure avoiding the bulky "sticking out" nature so prevalent in other cases. I tried two other brands before this one. They didn't come close in quality, protection and utility.

Almost a year and still pleased.
I've had this case for almost a year now, and use it every day, and it is still in great shape. It is obviously put together well.

An Excellent Flipcase!
I previously owned the Griffin Elan Convertible Flip-Top Case. I loved that case. But, as I believe, the magnet in that case was too strong for the job needed and it caused a plethora of problems for my iPod Touch.

So, I had to find a new flipcase and I settled on the DLO HipCase.

The Good - I could not be happier. The DLO case holds the iPod Touch very snugly inside the case. The headphone and sync ports are very accessible with the iPod sitting in the case. And I really like the feel of the case. It has a nice cushion to the top of the case. Best of all, the magnet in this case is strong enough to make sure the case closes, but it isn't overpowering to the point of causing any problems for the iPod. I have not had to reset my iPod Touch once in the last three days. This is the first time I have been able to say that in over a year.

The Bad - I suppose the case needs to be worn in more. But the actual part of the case that flips back, doesn't flip back all the way. I have had to hold it back in place a few times, especially when the iPod is in landscape, but I'm sure this will get better with age.

Great DLO Genuine Leather Case
This is a wonderful case.

First there is no disgusting smell when first opening the package, only the great smell of genuine leather. This may have been an issue addressed because of previous complaints.

The case seems sturdy and holds the iPod touch 16 Gig 2nd Generation very well. It does not slide out of the case and all of the screen (including the home button) is easily accessed. The only part of the 2nd generation iPod that is covered is the volume rocker, but this is easily pressed through the leather on the side.

On the inside of the case there is a smooth felt fabric that protects the iPod from scratches when sitting in the case.

There are two weak magnets at the base of the case. They are strong enough to hold the flap shut but will not interfere with the device.

I recommend this case for everyone who owns an iPod touch. It is a very nice leather case with a good belt strap. It offers great protection for the screen with the leather flap.

Good product but no storage
I love the fliptop cover and knowing the ipod is protected by the soft leather, so I'm glad I bought it. Two negatives are: 1) leather cover makes it awkward to reach corners on keyboard, etc., but even that is a minor inconvenience; 2) There is no place to put the earphones. A friend has one with a place on the back - not as nice as my leather, but more portable for the wires.
