15 Best Friend Ipod 5 Cases (2023 Updated)

Daughter loved the look of the case, it matched the color of her Ipod. Unfortunately, it does not provide much protection, my daughters Ipod fell from counter height and the screen cracked. We have switched to a tighter fitting case.

Nice case. Rubber bumpers on corners help protect it when it drops. Case sits above screen to protect it against flat drops as well. Fits ipod well, all cutouts in the correct places.

This case is very very good. It is a very snug fit with more than ample protection all around the sides and rear of the iPod. Also the Edgar’s are raised almost 1/8 of an inch to help protect the screen.

I am more than pleased with this case.

Our iPod had a thin plastic designer case. We wanted another case that was clear/show-through that would fit over the iPod with thin plastic case that would offer some rubber/silicone impact protection.

Unfortunately, this case does not do that, though it just fits the iPod without the thin plastic case OK. We tried.

Had purchased this for my son’s iPod. He absolutely loves it. It allows him to grip his iPod well and it has the raised corners so when he puts it face down it doesn’t touch the surface that he placed it down on.

Would highly recommend it!.

This protective case is excellent! Durable and well made. I was hesitant about the protective built in screen cover when I ordered. I thought it might be cheap flimsy plastic. But it is a hard almost glasslike cover that you cannot even tell it is there and does not hinder the touch screen at all.

It also comes with a strong ratcheting holster that works fantastic and further protects the screen! Quite possibly one of the best protective cases available for the IPod Touch 6 generation. Now if Apple would come out with the iPod Touch 7 generation! I would buy this case again and highly recommend it to anyone!.

The product have no instructions on how to get started, so I had to resort to a You Tube video in order to un -snap the case apart without destroying it. Once I got passed that obstacle the I Pod was easy to install into the case, entry holes, and push buttons line up perfectly for a secure snap in place.

Screen protector reads all the touch commands when you place your finger upon the app requested. Easy clip on case holder with swivel to adjust to your positioning in a chair or car seat. I pod snaps in & out easily to and from the case.

Does what these things should do, provide as much protection to an expensive piece of gear as anything can, this seems to do it well. I use my iPod in the shop where anything can happen, and as my luck runs, usually does happen.

Sturdy design, easy to get the iPod in the case, and even has a belt clip, if I decide to take the iPod out while messing in the yard.

Easy and simple to use case. There is no screen protector with this case. I’ve used it for about six months now and it protects my phone well

This case fits perfectly and provides all the protection I need for my ipod. One of the best things is, it doesn’t add bulk. Another thing I like is, because it is clear, the device is visible. I chose the ipod color because I like it best, so why hide it with some other color case? This is grest!.

I was a little confused with why the case is designed the way it is, but looking at photos I think the Generation 5 iPod Touch was different than my Generation 6, and needed the weird holes. It is an OK case, not great, but does the job, and you can see the red color of the iPod, which I like.

I am not sure how well it protects if it was dropped, but for minor scratches, it protects the iPod.

I have used Otter Box products for quite some time. I have used this case for the better part of a month. Well made and attractive products. My main beef is that Otter Box does not produce all of their products in North America.

(almost certain my case was made overseas) I would prefer to pay another $10-20 for a product made in a country with good worker and environmental protections. This is a premium product with a premium price, the price I do not dispute, but it would be nice if it was made stateside.

That said, the quality of the case is excellent. Good protection for when I drop things. The screen protector is not very good. It is loose and you have to push pretty hard for positive contact. Since I have big thumbs it is already a bit difficult to get the right button on the screen and the cover does not help.

I plant to remove the Otter Box integrated screen protector and replace it with another product. I am happy with my purchase.

Exactly what you would expect from an Otterbox. Solid as hell. Some complained that it was hard to get apart to place the ipod inside, and it was, which is another good thing. Nothing loose goose about this at all.

EXEPT the built in screen protector, which I removed immediately, t willmopt for a standalone screen protector, but thats just personal preference. Overall, highly recommended!.

GOOD and BAD… OtterBox Defender for iPhone 8 and iPod Touch PS: OtterBox asked for a review. They’ll be sorry when they read this… THE GOOD: Two Defender cases provide more protection than I need, except when I drop my iPhone or iPod or a dog’s nose knocks them off the table; then, they’re well worth the price and sore fingers.

My iPod never leaves the house; it remains inside ensconced in the bottom half of the Defender case; the top half abandoned long ago. My iPhone’s Defender – top and bottom – is always with me when I’m outside.

All that is GOOD. Worth the price and sore fingers. THE BAD: Difficulty achieving an effect when pressing Volume and On-Off Buttons through either Defender case makes me wonder if I did something wrong when I installed them.

I hoped a “breaking in” period would alleviate this difficulty; not so. I feel contemptibly inept each time I try to press the buttons. My fingers were sore for two days (no guitar playing) due to the difficulty of inserting the iPhone/iPod into the bottom of their cases; difficulty pressing the buttons reminds me of this often enough to lower a five-star rating to a four.

Love the case; feel like someone’s playing a joke on me each time I try to press or press-and-hold a button.

It was very nice, but it slide right off. I lost the front part of the case. Not sturdy enough to hold together. The design is cute.

Product description misleading. Unusable for my i pod touch. Too big. Item returned.

I love my case. I had 1 that cost more than what I paid for 2 of these. Happy doesn’t begin to say how much I love this.

Great product. Only have had it for a short period of time. It cost a little more than others, but was well worth the money. The style is excellent. It is has a very solid feel to it. It doe’s exactly what I was looking for.

I would by it again.

Needed something to make it easier to grip the iPod without making it too bulky. This fits the bill perfectly. Going to look for a similar product for my iPad mini.

Great product, protection for this device, my grand daughter loves it.

Has got all the holes and tabs in the right places. Beware, many ‘iPod 5/6 case’ items advertised as ‘compatible with 6th generation’ aren’t. Why get another case that covers the camera lens? I bought this one because I could see on eBay site that all the necessary ports were exposed.

And so it proved.

The case is not totally what I wanted. I wanted clear with no color. But my granddaughter loved it so she took it instead of my grandson. He doesn’t do pink.

I purchased two cases for my kids’ iPods. My son is 9 and my daughter is 6. They have dropped their iPods tons of times and their iPods have not broken. I just hate the design of the case. First of all, the piece to protect the camera lens can be easily misplaced.

I think my kids lost it the first week. Then the piece that protects the headphone hole was easy to break off. Then later on the piece to protect the bottom where you plug in the charger has come off.

I know kids can be hard on things but I think the soft plastic parts can be easily torn. The one last pet peeve is the hole for the headphones is too small. Neither one of my kids’ headphones fit well because of the size of the hole in the case.

Now they take off their cases to use their headphones, which defeats the purpose of the case. So the case is great for protecting the iPod in general but the outside plastic layer could be sturdier and the inside hard case should have a bigger hole for headphones.

This case has helped my iPod survive drops onto concrete. It looks bulkier in the box than it does on the device, but it is still fairly bulky. I bought the bright blue because of the low price but wondered if it would be too gaudy.

I am glad I got it. The bright color is not bad when it is just a frame around the iPod, and it makes the ipod easier to find in my purse. No regrets. I highly recommend this case. It arrive ahead of schedule too.

My brother got this for his i pod 4 many years ago and still has his i pod without a scratch on it and the case doesn’t get scratches on it. I have tried a variety of cases witch scratched and discolored, or are leather and the thread broke, so I decided to try the case my brother got.

I absolutely love the color choices. I would recommend this product in a heart beat to anyone. In my opinion it is better than an otter box. The one thing I liked best about it is the belt clip because I don’t trust pockets, with the clip it never fallen out of my pocket.

I like this case. I had read that this case was only a back piece and that a screen protector would be needed for complete protection, but that wasn’t the case. My case was both a front and back. It was a bit of a pain getting the iPod in it, but once I finally got it on, it fit nicely.

The only suggestion I would make is that a charging port cover would be a nice addition on this case so that dust and debris couldn’t gather there while in your pocket. I have a 7th gen iPod touch.

I’m going to say that before I purchased this. That I saw quite a few negative comments. And I at first I thought about not getting it but the more I read those comments It sounded like they were reviews for something else so I thought I would give it a try And I’m very Happy With my purchase.

It works great. It fits it perfectly. And I’m still able to use it the way I want to use it and not have to worry if it falls that it’s going to break. I definitely would purchase again.

Finally found a great yet inexpensive case for my Ipod. I was dropping it all the time, its too thin for my big hands. I have a Galaxy Note phone so this thing is tiny in comparison. This case gave it a nice edge for me to grip and i have only dropped it once.

And instead of automatically shutting down after a drop like it used to, causing me a great deal of panic each time. lol, it keeps on working. I also like that it has a clear back so i can see my Dodger Blue Ipod, AND it has a screen protector built in too for the front.

So far its been very durable after a month or so of daily use.

Just what I needed for my new iPod Touch. I have relatively big, clumsy hands and the bare iPod was just too slippery. I worried about dropping it and subsequent damage. The Survivor skin fits perfectly around the device and offer a firm rubber surface to grip along with protection from hard surfaces.

Just what the doctor ordered!.

First, let me say I love the customized otterbox I have on my Galaxy S4. However, my husband has an otterbox on his ipod & I just didn’t like the feel of it so I kept looking for something just as rugged but more user friendly/grippable for my tiny hands.

The ipod otterbox felt bulky & awkward to me. I liked the Survivor case so well that I bought one for my son’s new ipod as well.

It’s a product I have used for over 7 years on phones but not on iPods, knowing the cost of screen replacement which is more than the cost of this case I was determined to protect this investment. Having children who will sneak off with the iPod I want to know its drop safe.

Thanks Griffin for a brilliant product :)).

Amazing case! It says that it meets the US Military standards for the conditions that affect your iPod the most. I believe it. I dropped it so much and spilled so many different liquids on it. And it never fell off.

Once the case is on it’s really on. I also loved the rubber parts because it would stay where I put it really well and wouldn’t slide around. The ONLY downside I would say about it is the rubber protector for the camera broke off pretty quickly.

I use my camera a lot. I kept the camera protector though and put it back in whenever I knew I wouldn’t need my back camera. Oh! And it was a built in screen protector so you don’t have to buy one separately :).

Works better than otterbox. I can charge my iPod while i have the case on (unlike otterbox-every time i would charge it over time my dust flap warped my case) not with survivor. Total plus get one NOW they protect against almost anything.

especially if you are prone to the dropsies.

My daughter got an ipod 4 for her birthday in June. By August the screen was cracked and she was devastated. I fixed the ipod, but wouldn’t let her use it until the new case came in. Now the ipod is safe and sound.

Great product for the price.

Like the material and overall design of the case. However, both button areas (power and up/down volume) will have to be pressed very hard and sometimes I would need to use the tip of my finger nail to press and hold for a few seconds in order for the device’s buttons to be responsive.

Not sure if there is a gab between the case and the buttons but it really requires a lot of effort to ride the volume or to turn my iPod Touch on/off. Button areas really need to be corrected/redesigned.

Nice little case for my iPod Touch 7th gen. Fits well and helps me get a grip on that slippery little ipod. I also use this same brand of case (Tech 21) on my cell phone. I purchased this brand again because I was familiar with the quality of the brand.

Great case-sturdy, lightweight, nice feel, wraps around to protect front Fits ipod touch perfectly. Nice feel-won’t slip. Wraps around front screen a little. Lightweight. Seems quite durable. worth the cost.

i really like the color( i got the teal), and the clear part is really cool too! its little geometric designs on the clear part adds a nice touch. i drew a little pic to add on the back of it for a personal touch, making this case somewhat customizable, this is a good case for people who like to do that kind of stuff 🙂 definitely worth getting, it looks exactly like the the image shown.

Love the rubber on the edges

I just purchased an iPod 7th generation and needed a reliable case for it, as it sits in the glovebox and plays remotely on my Audi. This case is well made, pretty and fits perfectly. I am very pleased!.

I love this case from its magnetic closure to its snug fit on my iPod Touch 7 (no fear of iPod breaking should I drop tie case!), and it’s complete with 2 credit card slots and place to slide a few folded bills in.

I think the designers thought of everything. Good work!.

Love the case and fits the ipod fine; however, the protective glass wants to come up on the corners after the case is on. I’m unsure if it’s operator error or if the case fits too good. Still love the look!.
