      Hey Shane,

      Sorry to hear that one of the buttons on this Defender series is preventing you from falling totally in love with the case! Occasionally, some features on a brand-new case can act a little stubborn at first, but after a brief adjustment period, they should start to feel more comfortable. If you have any other questions on this, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be happy to dive into the details!

      Hi ECK304,

      We're sorry to see that the side buttons on this Defender series are having trouble keeping up lately! While the material on a brand-new case can be a little stiff at first, after some consistent use over time, it should start to loosen up and move more comfortably. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel welcome to call our playful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll cheerfully dive in to further assist you!

      Warmly,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox

    Not happy with this. Its very difficult plugging jack into while the otter box is on the iPod. I cannot connect to aux cable in my truck or home stereo. I have to remove it to connect up. really is a bummer. I have otter boxes on my two phones and don't have any issues with them.

      Hey Reka,

      We so apologize that you're experiencing trouble with the headphone jack on your iPod Touch Defender series!

If you have any additional questions on this or anything OtterBox-related, please feel welcome to call our playful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll dive right in to help out!

    The buttons on the side are very difficult to push. The screen saver does not give enough feedback. I tried to exchange it for another product of equal value but was 5 days past the time limit. Best Buy would not budge. Very disappointed. Wasted $30!

    I returned the case because I was unable to use earbuds with the ipod. The thickness of the case and the size of the opening for the aux cord did not allow the plug to reach far enough into the ipod and make a connection.

      Hi Booklover,

      We are sorry that the Defender case did not work with your earbuds. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that 3rd party accessories will be compatible with our cases. The Apple earbuds that came with the device will fit with our case.

      We truly hope that this one unfortunate experience does not discourage you from considering our products in the future. If you ever have any OtterBox questions please do not hesitate to give our friendly Otters a call. We can be reached at 1-855-688-7269 and we are happy to help!

      Sincerely,

      Hey there LunchB0xK1ller,

      We're truly sorry to learn that your iPod and Defender series suffered from a tragic tumble. We test our products extensively to ensure the best device protection possible, but unfortunately, certain situations are subject to a number of different variables, some of which are beyond our control. Although our warranty does not extend to the Apple device itself, we would still like to set you up with a new OtterBox, since it sounds like your current one was compromised. Please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll get this process started right away!

      Hey Locals,

      We're so sorry to hear that your Defender is not allowing you to properly charge your iPod touch!

Just ring them up at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll solve this mystery with ease.

    The otter box for the ipod is very durable especially for a child. I would have liked a better selection because the Ipod is still a favorite for younger kids that are to young for a cell phone.

    Purchased a 6th generation Ipod and wanted solid protection. First purchased the LifeProof case and was not pleased with feel and look. Returned and got this model; WAY better. Feels and looks great and offers total protection. Ipod locks into 2-piece hard constructed case, then wrapped with outer flexible case. I like the built in screen protector. Overall a very slick look.
