Shades Case,
September 13, 2011
Case fits well over the iPod but leaves space at the bottom where scratches can easily occur. There is, however, a clear view of the screen and easy access to the trackpad.

Overall Goodness
September 12, 2011
The color is great ( I named my iPod Purple Passion..lol) and it protects my whole iPod. It is a pretty tight fit though, I thought I would have to cut it off to remove it, but I got it off eventually.
The plastic covering the click wheel is a bit too thick and causes me some frustration; I solved this by cutting that part out (I am not encouraging anyone to do that!). Other than the plastic over the
clickwheel being too thick, I enjoy my Shades Ultra Violet case. Plus, I've gotten several compliments on how pretty it is!

All around goodness!

I love that this case doesn't need a seperate screen protector! It adds color, keeps my ipod from getting scratched and protects the screen all at the same time. I found it very simple to put on
and it does not push any of my buttons from being too tight. Also it does not add any bulk to the ipod, still sleek and slim like it is meant to be. For the price it's a winner.

Simple Protection
February 5, 2011
Packaging was simple and protective--no clamshell to open! Yeah! I bought two different cases to try at the time and am using this one beause I can slip the case into my dock, my ihome and my media connector
in my car without having to remove the case or squeeze it into the dock. The case is sticking to my screen a tad but the packaging advised that this would be expected at the beginning. This is the first cover
that actually covers my media wheel and still allows NO loss of functionality.

Great product!

There are not many cases available for the Ipod Classic, but this one is perfect. Inexpensive, loads of colors to choose from and it protects your whole ipod. No problems whatsoever with
the function of the click wheel, and it even fits in my Bose sound dock. Love it!

Best little case!
January 12, 2011
Found this case online after searching many stores. There are not too many cases out there for the ipod classic. This one is inexpensive, light weight and comes in the coolest colors!
Even though the click wheel is covered it still works perfectly. I can also fit it into my Bose docking station without having to remove the cover. I love the fact that even the screen is protected from scratches. Great product!!

Cool case!
January 8, 2011
These cases first caught my eye by how cool every color looks. And once I got it I realized not only do they look awesome, they're good quality cases. It slipped on perfectly with holes in the proper places.
The only thing I would change is to cut a hole for the volume buttons. Otherwise, a great value!

Great for light screatches
October 4, 2010
Great protection against light scratches, front and back. Thin enough to fit in a holster. Product was good enough for me to buy two of them.
One set back, when moisture gets trapped causes water spot. Doesn't seem to affect performance.

Do Yourself A Favor...
August 23, 2010
... and check out this product. I initially came across the Shades Case brand while searching for an affordable, high quality case for my iPod Touch. After a long search, which yielded several high quality, and high priced cases I finally stumbled across the website, [...]. I checked it out and was very intrigued with the price and the claims related to the quality of the product. After using this case on my iPod I was thrilled with the quality of the product, especially because the shade was so reasonably priced.
About two weeks ago, I upgraded my cell phone to an iPhone. The Best Buy Rep asked me if I had looked at the cases that they had to offer and I told him that I knew of a website that offered cases and I showed him my iPod Touch with the Serene Green case on it and he was very interested in the case and wrote down the website with the intentions of looking into getting a shade for his iPhone!
Bottom line, if you want a quality case at a great price you should get a shades case. They have great customer service, fast shipping, and a reliable product. If there is any downside it would be that the case, initially, sticks to the screen, but please note that this issue WILL correct itself with a little time. I highly recommend this case to anyone looking for a great product at a fantastic price!- Joseph Boudreaux
Fantastic purchase
January 26, 2010
I bought this case for a new Classic Ipod. I had always held off on buying a Classic because they are, well, ugly (as opposed to the Nano). I was so relieved when I discovered Shades!
The Shades case is so great because it's slim, not bulky, and because it's pretty. And it's inexpensive enough that you can buy more than one (if you prefer different colors on different days).
This was a great purchase!

Just What I Wanted

I had been searching the web for over 2 hours looking for a 160gb ipod cover. Took a chance with Shades and am really glad I did. Fits snugly n gives my ipod a really cute funky look.

Great Product
January 7, 2010
I loved the shade when I got it. But it broke when I tried to get my Ipod out. It is a very tight squeeze to get them in. So I ordered another one and I will see if it goes better
the second time around. I have a 5th gen Video 30gp ipod.

I purchased this shade to protect my new ipod nano 5G it fits the ipod perfectly, wafer thin which unlike a lot of other bulky covers, feels soft to the touch,strong
and reliable and is ideal protection against accidents, but most importantly protects the screen from scratches and damage. I highly recommend this product. The customer service is of a
very high standard, fast and reliable always a pleasure to deal with. All in all a excellent product and company.

great cutomer service!
January 6, 2010
I ordered the purple case for my new Ipod Classic. It was beautiful but had a small defect in it. I contacted customer support and they sent me a new one. The case fits very snug
and the click wheel works great. The only downside is that the screen sticks but they said that this would go away over time. It is also difficult to remove because of how tight it
fits, but this was somewhat expected since it fits like a second skin. It is overall a very good and attractive case that will not add bulk to the sleek ipod.

Real good quality
January 5, 2010
Simple if you need something to protect your itouch before you use it i recomend you that you purchase this shades souly because they is no other stylish case with protective
qualities like it.

One of the worst products I have ever ordered
January 5, 2010
I just bought a cool blue case for my first gen iphone(i bought the right one) and the case is so tight that it changes the volume it also has a protector on the screen which is good but
you have to press very hard to get the screen to respond. This is the worst thing I have ever bought. Don't buy one if you do you will be very very dissapointed. I have no idea how all the
other reveiws are good this product is amazingly horrible.
- Alex Frost
Great case
January 4, 2010
Just got the black and silver case for the first gen iphone and could not be happier with the overall feel of the case. At first it fits really snug and pushes down the sleep and
volume buttons but later it stretches out. Great case, I will for sure be getting different colors

Love this Case!
January 3, 2010
I love this case. It looks like a racecar, is sturdy like a tank and continues to look good after years of use. I already own 5 in different colors. Now I've gotten my Dad hooked on them.
Thank you for making the perfect solution for keeping my precious iPod in top condition! You guys rock.

Love this case...but...
February 16, 2011
Make sure you purchase the right case to fit your correct model ipod. I originally purchased the wrong case and spent hours trying to fit the case on my ipod after giving up and realizing it was not going to fit.
I did some research (the apple website) and found out what model ipod I really owned. The new case slid on easily and fits perfectly. I had a very difficult time finding a case to fit my "older" ipod. These cases
are great and come in terrific colors. I'll be purchasing another one!

best case ever!!
November 24, 2010
this case was the first case i bought for my ipod classic, and i love it!! the colors are vibrant and vivid!
the plastic it is made out of is very durable and will never break!
the whole design is so thin and blends right in to the ipod!
it looks like the case is the ipods color itself!

Protective without the bulk
July 10, 2008
Simply put, this is the solution for those who want to carry around their ipod and do not want all the excess weight, size and loss of sensitivity
you get with hard cases, leather cases and the like. I love the "Environmental green" packaging.

great product
August 30, 2011
I really like the idea of a thin vinyl case, as it protects great from dents and scratches. However, It was really hard to get on, which in turned out to be a good thing because that makes it hard for dirt to get in.
The colors are really cool but it would be awesome if Shades came in solid colors so they didn't look so dark on the black iPod. I can't figure out how to get rid of the air bubbles but you can't even see them when the
backlight is on. Overall, its a great product and I'm glad I bought it.

One of the best cases I have run across
November 11, 2010
This is honestly one of the best cases I have ever bought. I love how sleek and slim Apple's Ipod is, but I hate most of the cases out there because they are soooo big and bluky or do really dont protect that well. I have tried numerous cases, such as the clear hard cases several silicon cases, and the skins, each have several drawbacks, but the hard cases get dirt in them that scratch up the ipod, plus they are hard to remove. Silicon cases make it hard to turn the click wheel and stick in pockets, and the skins dont cover part of the ipod on corners and such.
After reading several reviews I decided to give Shades a chance. I got my case in the mail in about one business day. I love the case! It completely covers my ipod, doesnt interfere with the click wheel, is super sleek and slim, and is super easy to remove to clean. I would definitely recommend this case to to all my friends and family, in fact I am going to order one for my mom's birthday!

IPod Touch Best Case Ever!
August 27, 2010
I got an IPod touch for christmas and wouldnt use it till I found the perfect case... I did not want the screen to get scratched so until I found the Shades Website after searching for two weeks...
I love it... bought three colors, red for my sister... purple for me... and clear for a back up. I just love it. tight fit, nicely protects the whole Ipod and still allows to dock on just about everything.
I have had no problems at all. Little Bubbles on screen at first, but just slide a business card or credit card and bubblesare cleared away. I love mine and will recommend this to any and everyone!

Great Case for Iphone 4
October 17, 2010
Used the Shades case for my Iphone 3G for one year and just upgraded to Iphone 4. The case is awesome.
It gives you a complete phone and screen protection so you do not need a screen guard.
The case is very light but does not compromise the protection of the phone.
Great case......

thumbs up!
January 22, 2010
very lightweight and fit snugly to my 80g classic. i've tried silicone case, hard/bag type case and others but they add up the bulk. The best one so far! (too bad theres no shades for my zune hd too :P)

Very Pleased!
November 16, 2009
Thanks for the great service. I received the new case today and it's a perfect fit. Very pleased. If only I knew about this company before
I wasted money on multiple invisible shields that just started to peel after a couple weeks.

Awesome
August 12, 2009
I have a white 3g s, I purchased the hot pink and sunrise orange. They look soo great on my iPhone. I laugh at people with da bulky cases(that cost $30) on their iPhone cuz it looks so big.
Then I'd whip out my iPhone and people instantly fall in love with my shades. Shades have excellent cust serv and Jennifer you're the best. The air bubbles are annoying but it clears up over time.
Thanks for making my iphone so stylist at a great price with full protection. Shades is a must have, iPhone users you must get one!!!

Sleek, stylish protection
November 4, 2009
I purchased the black Shades case for the original iPhone and it was very easy to install. Just place a thin card on top of the iPhone and slide it into the case. Remove the card and
smooth the case. That's it. I did not experience any bubbles and I do have a Power Support matte screen protector. Sensitivity is great. The price is just right.

Thank you Shades cases! I just received my case today. Wow... smooth and speedy delivery. I have to say I'm impressed! The case is a perfect design. Not at all bulky, yet strong
and a nice snug fit that compliments the phones form. I love it! I will be purchasing the other colors as well. Anyone thinking of purchasing a shades case... I recommend it!

I just want to say Thank you Shades cases. After searching all the stores, endless searching online and trying many different cases for my ipod touch, The Shades case is by far
the best one I've had yet. The case fully protects the device and does not allow any dust or scratches. This case allows me to use any of my accesories. When these cases hit
stores, This will be a great selling item!

BEST CASE YOU CAN BUY!
April 25, 2009
I have had a Shades case since christmas now when i bought the new ipod touch. I wanted something that would cover the entire ipod and this was the only case i could find in my
four weeks of searching. These cases are great, sleak, unique, cheap and durable. These cases aren't bulky and you don't have to worry about it breaking. It sticks to the ipod fairly
tightly so it doesn't just fall off. If your looking to get it off i just slide a business card or something like that in the case and lift up a bit and it slides right out. Hope those
of you looking to buy a Shades case does. You will not be disappointed!!!

LOVE IT!!
March 10, 2009
I recently met a musician and had him sign the back of my IPod. I found this site by accident when I was looking for a clear case to protect it. I purchased one case and got 3 more for free.
They shipped quickly and are the best protection I've found for my Ipod 160 GB. They're not big and bulky and I love that I can change the color based on my mood.
I will DEFINITELY be ordering more colors and sizes. Thanks.

iphone and classic
December 31, 2008
My husband and I each got a shade for our iPhones. They were a bit stiff at first, but after a week or so of daily use, they were great. They are so easy to slip on and off.
We have orange and blue and now we don't grab each other's phones on accident.
We got our kids shades for their new iPod Classics for Christmas and they LOVE them. They are still a little stiff, but the wheel gets easier to use each time they pick them up.
The colors are terrific.
My sister saw mine and immediately got on the website and picked out 2 for herself to have me get for her birthday.
