I bought this cover in pink and am so happy with it. It fits my 80gb classic iPod perfect. If I had not read the reviews before purchasing this item I may have been disappointed because as other people mention it does not have a click wheel cover as shown in the picture. If you are looking for a case that protects the click wheel and the screen, then this is not the case for you...you will be disappointed. However, if this is not of concern and you simply want a decorative case that provides some protection, then I would certainly recommend this one. The price is great, you get two different cases, one with the vine design and one plain. I would have paid the same price for just the one so getting two is totally worth it! I personally don't care that there is no click wheel cover as I find the click wheel on the classic iPod to not turn as easily as the older models, so I could only imagine it would be even worse with a cover. As for the screen, you can always use the stick on protectors those work well. This case is beautiful. The design adds a little something extra rather than just a solid color. I love it!

+ you get 2 + I really like the style of the pink one - NO SCREEN COVER! (also, no wheel cover but idc about that) - flimsy, esp around the bottom near the cable slot If I had realized there was no screen cover, I wouldn't have bought this product. Serves me right for not reading more and selling out for style over functionality. Unlike my bulkier Belkin cover, there is no way I could just toss my iPod in my bag as is and go like I was doing. It's a good thing I already have the plastic screen/back/wheel protectors, so I'll use this case (and a sock for traveling) until I can find something else that's both stylish AND functional (which is harder than it sounds).

I have a black 80GB iPod Classic and I bought this case because it seemed simple and efficient, and I was right. It is not perfect, there is no cover for the screen or wheel, but I didn't want a wheel cover anyway. A screen cover would have been nice, but its not a deal breaker. The material is a soft rubber that looks like it may be prone to tearing, but once the iPod is in it (which its easy to put in) you shouldn't have to worry about it tearing. It also slides in your pocket fairly easy, something rubber cases sometimes don't do. It has a hole for your headphones, the hold switch which is easily accessed, and a slit on the bottom for the adapter. I am not sure if you can connect it to things like an iHome with the case on, but the slit in the bottom is very large, much bigger than the actual plug, so I suspect you can. All in all this is a good deal, you get 2 cases for less than the price of a single one of other cases. The only issue is that I ordered the Dark Grey one and I got a black one with the design on it and a clear one. I am not sure if this is the way it was supposed to come because the pictures here on Amazon are not that great. The design is actually kind of nice though... Would have rathered completely black, but I'm getting used to it.
