Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this for my 6th Gen iPod Touch even though this is for the 5th gen but it fits perfectly fine and I love it. I have used many other type of cases and this is by far the most durable, lightweight and great looking case in my opinion. I love this case so much that I ended up buying this type for my iPhone and Blackberry. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is looking for the best protection for their new iPod touch, you won't regret it. See the photos for the perfect fit.

As a Harley rider and a police impound tow truck driver I need serious protection for my electronics. OtterBox provides that protection. I have never had any issues or problems with OtterBox products. I have bought OtterBox cases for iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 6plus, and now iPod. Great product!!!!

Otter case is great for kids in case it's dropped and great protection

Needed something to protect my grand daughters i pod and otter box defender is the best there is. Next to my smart phone.

I priced matched this case so the cost was great and the protection for my itouch is superior to the case I had previously.

Love it! I purchased this case to protect my 9 year-old niece new iPod Touch that she wanted for her birthday. Works very well with the Touch controls and Touch-screen. Worth the money while trying to protect your investment.

I need to plug into various stereo systems as I teach aerobics at several gym locations and sometimes the in plug doesn't reach all the way inside the case so I need to take the case apart to plug it in. Eventually I'm afraid I'll break it like I did the previous one (I hope not!).

I'm a huge otter fan. Been rocking with them since back in the day. This cover looks and works awesome.

The Otterbox defender is a high quality nice fitting case. I knew it wasn't water resistant otherwise it would have gotten 5 stars.

My only complaint is it makes the power button difficult to press otherwise a 5 star

You absolutely can't go wrong protecting your iPod with an Otter Box. I have used them on my other devices and never regret them! We even ran over my hisband's cell phone with his Toyota Tacoma and the phone wasn't damaged in the slightest. Drawback: I don't like the screen protector and I have to say I always take it off due to improper contact with the screen. It simply has too much space between the plastic cover and the screen. NOTE: If you remove it, you void your warranty!!! I wish they had options with no face like they do for cell phones. Buy one! You won't regret it!

The Otterbox Defender Series for ipod 4S consists of several parts. Two separate plastic pieces snap onto either end of your iPod. The piece that includes the front of the case includes a plastic, use-through screen cover. The piece that includes the rear of the case sports a felt liner to protect your iPod's backside from case-induced scratches. Snap those pieces together around your iPod, squeeze it tight to lock several tabs together, and you’re ready to put the silicon layer on. The silicon indeed feels soft and rubbery when it’s off your iPod, but once you stretch it over the case's plastic skeleton, the silicone feels surprisingly stiff. That’s neither complaint nor praise—the silicone simply feels like a smart way to protect the iPod from impact. I’ve tested many rugged iPod cases, and too often they're very difficult to get on or take off the iPod. The Defender offers a welcome respite from that common frustration. Once you know how, there’s nothing difficult or time-consuming about either process, and you don’t feel like your fingertips are about to snap off during removal. The Defender covers the iPod's Home, volume, and Sleep/Wake buttons with overlays of its own; each offers a satisfying use-through click. The case provides rubbery flaps to protect the iPod's headphone jack, Ring/Silent switch, and dock-connector port. I found the dock-connector port’s cover a bit fussy to lock into place when closing it, and it was annoying when it hung loose, though I got better at fastening it consistently over time. The other flaps worked acceptably The Defender ships with a belt holster that can double as an iPod stand for video watching. For protection, Otterbox recommends that you store your iPod in the holster with the screen facing in—unless of course, you're using it in stand mode, in which case you flip the iPod around and allow the screen to face outward. The rear of the case sports a circular cutout that reveals the Apple logo. I’m not a fan of this design choice, which is fairly common in iPod cases these days, but your preference may vary. I didn’t fear for my iPod in the slightest when it was in the Defender. The case is strong, snug, and secure, and as an added bonus, it’s not a nightmare to put on and take off. It’s a fine choice for iPod owners who fear dropping and damaging their iPod.

If you lead an active lifestyle, or just need the ultimate in protection for your phone, iPod, or iPad, you can't go wrong with this product. I work as a carpenter, and all my devices are protected with Otterbox. I have yet to experience a broken screen or damaged device, despite working in a harsh environment. Dropped phones, etc. are not uncommon. Usually due to failing to secure the device properly in a pocket or safety vest. It's well worth the money!

I bought this case after replacing my iPod Touch. The case is both stylish and durable and definitely gets the job of protecting my iPod done. I've already dropped the iPod twice and the case protected it from cracks or scratches. This is an excellent item for the price. Well worth it!

I remove this cover 5 times a week to pair with my radio at work, and so far the seal goes back solid with no stretching. One small issue, the protective face is not completely flat to the ipod face, so touch screen functions are a little difficult along the edges. Over all, this is a good quality product.

My son carries (and drops) his iPod everywhere and this case has kept it safe. My husband had one for years, and I had one for a couple of years = only negative is you lose the sleekness of the phone, but it does it's job protecting it.

OtterBox is the best protection for the iPhone products or whatever products you use them for I tried life proof just not made the same as OtterBox I suggest buying lots of these products to protect your product

I own several otter box products for ipads mostly, this is the first time i purchase one for an iPod for a little kid. its a robust and high-quality product. its almost guarantees the iPod wont break at all.

This has kept my worries of her iPod getting cracked or broke at ease!! Love the color of the case and the quality of it too. Super sturdy and very happy with this product!!!

I would recommend OtterBox to anyone seeking a case for a phone or PMP. I have never had any problem with the product, and even had dropped a device in the past, with no damage at all.
