It is made of hard acrylic, and the wheel is covered by a soft plastic, so you can operate it even with the wheel covered and protected.I recommend it. I like this case, it covers the iPod entirely, even the wheel.
i love it. if you are worried about scratch on your ipod when you put it in your pocket or in your bag, this is good protector. i bought a clear skin and it looks good.
Do NOT buy it unless you have too much money. It is very hard to assemble it and the circle part doesn't fit, so when you press it, it clicks twice. It becomes very hard to use my ipod after putting this product on.
I consider this to be misleading: why would anyone care about having metal detail on an acrylic case. I don't know how hard it would be to have some sort of anti-scratch coating, or how expensive it would be, but I thought this should be brought up as a major issue for future buyers.Previous reviewers have mentioned difficulty accessing the hold button. I have no problem accessing the connectors at the bottom, but I don't use a dock, so I can't speak to that issue.All in all, I use the case so that my iPod doesn't get damaged/scratched in my pocket or when I drop it. I first saw this product on Belkin's site when looking for cases. Still, I would gladly have payed double the price for a thinner, non-scratch forming, better membraned case. This is a pretty big problem. But I guess there's not as much market for those kinds of things.
With the case on, I had difficulty in getting the iPod to recognize my finger. I don't understand why there is so much thickness to the case at the top end. So it is possible to reach for the hold button only for it to slide farther away. I would say detection was about 75%, which is really quite bad, because a high accuracy is necessary for the scrolling to work well. Actually, I find that it is slightly exacerbated by the fact that there is a tiny amount of vertical clearance that allows the iPod to shift inside the case somewhat.
I initially thought it was all metal, because of the image on the website, and didn't read the details about it being acrylic. This is true. When viewed at certain angles, there is a LOT of glare that diminished the visibility of the screen. It doesn't seem like it would be that much more protective, especially since it's only on the front.Anyway, my experience with the sensitivity is vastly different from the rest of the users it seems. I cut out the membrane with an exacto knife and am glad I did so, since I can now select the playlist I want without any fuss.The area protecting the screen has become heavily scratched.
I don't have a single scratch on my nano and I've had it for 6 months now. It's a little difficult to put on and off (which I do often to place it in my radiostand)but it's well worth it. This is a hard plastic cover. It makes my ipod nano look glossy and new.
