Review of the iClear for iPod with Video from Griffin

The iClear for iPod with video is a clear scratch resistant case made to protect your iPod with video from daily wear and tear. We have all dropped our iPod, knocked it into something while walking down the street, and even had it shoot across the treadmill while we were squeezing in a little exercise. The iClear from Griffin is the perfect answer to the daily knicks, bangs, and general abuses that we bestow upon our iPods with video.

How to Use the iClear

To install the iClear over your ipod simple place the clear front panel over the front of your iPod. It is easy to tell which is the front piece because of the circle cut out of the front, which gives you access to the control panel on your iPod. The iClear comes with 2 back panels that snap onto the front panel, protecting your iPod from all sides. One back panel is thinner and one is thicker, making the iClear perfect for both the 30GB or 60GB video iPods.

To remove your iPod simple insert any coin into either notch on the bottom corners of the iClear and pop out your iPod. The instruction on the package say a quarter works best, but any coin is easy to use. I was able to pop it apart with my fingernails.

I have a cat that likes to knock anything small off of the counter when I am not looking. He knocked my iPod off twice in one day and the iClear did not fall off. It didn’t even get a scratch.

Visual Appeal

The iClear is exactly what it says. A clear plastic case. The case is scratch resistant polycarbonate to be exact. The polycarbonate is thin and seems to be very durable. The iClear actually made my iPod look new again. It added barely any size at all to my iPod and made it appear super shiny. My favorite feature of the iClear has to be the visual appeal. It is sleek and almost looks like a piece of glass.

You are able to see your iPod screen clearly through the iClear. There are easy access cut outs over the earphone plugs access and charging port, so you do not have to remove the iClear for any reason accept to clean it.
