Before purchasing this case, I saw the other reviews about the case cracking. Of course I disregarded them, because it looked like a nice case and I wasn't expecting the case I picked to be majorly durable. After all, I only use my iPod at home (i.e., have not taken it to the gym, work, or even into my car). Still, I like to take care of my things so I wanted a case to protect the outside from any light scratches that are inevitable with any kind of use. Would you believe the case has already cracked? How? I cannot answer that question, as I have never dropped it. I noticed the cracking after I added an Invisible Shield onto my iPod. I've provided pictures. The cracking is in the upper right corner, which from its design is an obvious weak point. Was not expecting this though.... The corner of the case is close to breaking off. My case is already broken after minor use within 3 weeks of using it. I tried to go on the Belkin website for customer support in hopes of getting a new one since it's been less than a month.... This case/model isn't even listed on their product list on the Customer Support site. So disappointing. :(

The most important thing to me in a case, is that the edges go slightly above the screen, to assure a drop straight on it's face doesn't result in a broken screen. This covers that issue. It's clear, so you can see the colors and anything else you have customized on the back of your iPod. I actually bought the newest iPod, and this case is for the generation immediately before it, so it has the hole for the old tether cable (which I wish was still included on the new ones). My only complaint is that dirt still gets between the iPod and the case, and it causes small scratches on the device if you do not clean it very very regularly.
