Ever since I got my 3rd generation iPod Touch, I've been looking for better ways to protect it. The perfect case probably doesn't exist, and there are a VAST number of cases out there to try. But maybe I can save you some trouble. I've tried four different cases, each with it's own set of pros and cons.
The first case I tried was the Case-Mate "Naked". As the title implies, it's a clear case with one black stripe around the bezel. With the iPod inside, this looks stunning! The best part about this case is that it has a built-in screen protector that works extremely well. Some users have reported that the closure mechanism on the back scratched their iPod's back, but I have not experienced this. The huge downside for me was that it protected a bit too well. The only headphones I could get to plug in were Apple's included earbuds, everything else was too big to fit in the opening. And I had the same problem with the dock connector; only Apple's newest slimmed-down sync cable would fit. Pressing the sleep and volume buttons was a bit difficult but not a deal-breaker. And if you use a dock regularly, forget it. This case is very hard to get off.
I really wanted to like this case; it looks great and protects well without being bulky. But the small sync and headphone openings make using it difficult. Plus, I dock it often so getting this thing off is a pain. And with the chance that taking it off and on might scratch my stainless steel back, the Case-Mate "Naked" doesn't get used very often.
