Editorial Review
The Griffin iClear hard-shell case provides invisible polycarbonate protection for your iPod Touch. Strong enough for the daily abuse of an active lifestyle, the transparent and unobtrusive design protects the iPod with a tough, polycarbonate two-piece shell. And yet, you have total access to the iPod's control wheel, audio jack, on switch, USB port, and LED. Installation is quick and easy--the iPod drops into the iClear's front casing, and the rear section snaps into place.
What's in the Box:
iClear case, static peel screen protector, and premium cleaning cloth.

Disappointing 
2008-05-18
When I first got this product 5 months ago everything was great. The case snapped into place perfectly and i had no problem installing the screen protector. Now I take my ipod everywhere i go and one thing that started to happen was that dirt and dust would seep through the openings in the case for the headphone jack and hold button, this caused minor scratches on the ipod and on the case. Now because of this i would have to take off my case to clean the ipod every once in awhile and after a few cleans one of the clasps broke off. as of right now both the bottom clasps have broken off leaving it very loose forcing me to tape it together. Also one other critical flaws is the lack of shock protection. if you were to drop your ipod this case would prevent scratches but forget about absorbing impact.
Good looks, great protection

I recently ordered this case and I love it! It looks great and doesn't mask the beauty of the iPod. It adds a little weight and bulk but it's not that significant. It actually feels better in my hand with the case on. I like the fact that I don't have to remove the case to charge it. My non-iPod headphones fit fine with the case on, even though the headphone jack is larger than that of the iPod headphones. You can also reach the sleep button fine with the case on.
It's nice that they include the screen protector. It's not too hard to put on, you have to make sure to wipe your screen really well first and try not to touch the actual sticking surface of the protector. I was able to put it on without bubbles or dust but it doesn't seem to stick well around the very edges. I tried to peel it off at the bottom to fix it a little and now there is a large section at the bottom which won't stick anymore. Oh well, with the case on, you can't really tell. I found a trick to open the case without scratching it: use a small coin, a dime is fine, take the cloth that comes with the case and drape it over the slot as a barrier between the case and the coin. I have opened the case many times already and have no scratches. The case has such a tight fit that I had a weird issue with some marking that looked like trapped moisture or oil between the back of the iPod and the case. I kept wiping the iPod and the case and even used rubbing alcohol to remove any oil and I still had that marking. It annoyed me so I put a little sticker on the back of the iPod and it fixed the problem. The back of the case is not perfectly clear, it's clouded, but you can still see through it. This also means that if there is any dust under the case, you can see that too. Just be sure to wipe your iPod really well before putting the case on.
Great investment

The great thing about this case is that it is clear. I'd rather have it be clear because it makes the case less noticable, and it lets you see that youre really using an iPod touch rather than someting in leather or silicone.
The thickness of it is sufficient, but doesnt make the very slim iPod too thick, and I feel like I could drop it on the ground with no worries at all.
The only concerns I have are that some dust has gotten inside, because it doesnt seem to form a perfect seal. So if the dust moves around it may scratch up the back of the iPod. Other than that, it fits great.
Beautiful and Functional

After much deliberation, I listened to the reviews and ordered this case for my new iPod Touch. There is not a shred of disappointment: it came quickly from Amazon and included a chamois and an easy-to-install screen protector. The protector was not only simple to apply, but effortless to remove and reapply! There is not an adhesive on the protector; it attaches mainly via static electricity. I was pleasantly surprised.
The look and fit of this case is top-notch. I've seen the Griffin brand clear cases for the rest of the iPod family and liked what I saw. The Touch is my PDA and therefore pocket-kept, so the slim design is a definite must for me.
I would highly recommend this case to anyone with the need to protect their iPod Touch.
Great Value

Everything about this is easy to use, including getting the protective shield on the screen. Simple design protects the iPod without any obstructions. It's well worth the low price, and the packaging it comes in doesn't require mandhandling a pair of scissors, either.
iClear seems to work! 
2008-07-19
I won't repeat the other reviewer's comments about the case, but do have a few observations. I have dropped the ipod while in the case a few times now, and there is no damage to the ipod or the case. I was worried the case would open on impact, but that does not happen. I put a screen protector from another company on the touch's glass and the iClear case fits over it without a problem. The screen protector that came with the iClear would have done the job nicely, but I had already ordered the other screen protector. I am very happy with this case. The ipod is thrown into my purse or backpack and the case is protecting the machine quite nicely.
Works fine

The Griffin 8167-ITCLR iClear Hard-Shell Case for iPod touch is an excellent investment. My iPod works functionally regardless of the several times I carelessly dropped it. Although I have heard myths that the iPod touch and iPhone are indestructable I think that it is a smart move to purchase this product just in case.
Good Investment

This hard shell case works well as advertised. It protects both the screen and case of the IPod effectively without being intrusive. You need to make sure the screen is absolutely clean before you install the screen protcctor. The good news is that if you do trap something, you can redo the application.
Great Case!

This is a great case! The iPod is nice and snug in its new home. The only problem was when I was first putting on the screen protector there was a small bubble in the space near the home button on the iPod. This was solved by simply cutting off the bottom of the screen protector. All in all this is a great case, stop reading reviews and buy this case!
P.S. This was typed on the iPod.
Hard Candy Shell for your Touch 
2008-05-20
It's a well known fact that ipods are easy to scratch, and the Touch is no exception. Apparently they are made of the softest non-lethal materials known to man. So you know you have to protect your ipod. That being said, you hate to enshroud your sleek new ipod touch in a hideous protective case that hides your trendsetting device from the rest of the world. What to do?
I'll tell you what to do. Buy this guy here. The hard plastic cover makes scratch-fear a thing of the past, and because it's transparent the innate good looks of the Touch are going to shine on through. The ipod is protected but not imprisoned. Just don't drop the damn thing because hard plastic shatters.
