Lots of compliments March 10, 2008
Very nice and trendy looking Folio! I've received lots of compliments and envy. The velcro closure is probably the worse feature. Perhaps a magnetic closure would have been better. The loud velcro isn't condusive for an office environment.
3.5 stars - Nice looking, not so nice functionality February 10, 2008

I have been using this case for my ipod for a couple weeks now, and I have mixed thoughts on it. A lot of other reviewers have hit the major points with the case, both the pros and the cons.
The biggest thing that this case has going for it is the look. The leather look is very nice, and Belkin knows style, at least with this folio. The folio also is fairly well constructed, though not perfect. But for for 15-20 dollars, one can't really complain about slightly imperfect construction. The imperfections include things such as loose threads, and a crooked logo on the inside. You'd think these wouldn't be too hard to get right, but when pumping out in mass quantities, you're getting what you pay for.
The negative parts of this case: primarily its functionality. The first and foremost thing, as anyone who glances at this case can attest to, is that there is no music control when the case is closed. But you know what you are buying when you get this case, and someone who buys this folio shouldn't expect control when it's closed. This has been hinted at my another reviewer who stated it is near impossible to use this case while driving, which is true. The second fault is the velcro enclosure. Be aware when buying this case that it may actually come with a velcro strap on it (mine did) that hooks to the back of the case. This strap is annoying, and a lot of the time doesn't like to stick. A few other design issues - there is no hole for the ambient light sensor, making the auto brightness unusable. The last thing is that the strap on the bottom of the case is a bit too wide, sometimes covering the headphone port. Not a big deal, just nudge it out of the way, but a minor inconvenience.
The case comes with a screen protector that is nice and glossy, but not smudge free, and has to be cleaned fairly regularly.
Overall, buy it for the look, and not for the functionality. There are more functional cases, but if you're worried about the look of your touch, or if you're going to be throwing your ipod in a bag and not actively changing tracks while listening, this should be a good case for you.

Exactly what I was looking for February 9, 2008
I was looking for a flip case for my iPod touch that would close to protect the screen but also look cute. There are lots of cases to choose from but I am very happy with mine. The down side for me is that the iPod sometimes wiggles lose from it's position. I think at some point I might put a little bit of felt behind the iPod in the case to keep it from sliding around. Other than that I love it and definitely recommend it.
Nice, Stylish, Cover... Only Okay Function January 28, 2008

This is a very nice quality leather cover that has a very stylish edge to it. I've owned it for about a month now, and I'm finding that while it protects and covers the ipod it doesn't really lend itself to doing anything functional with the ipod. The case folds over the face and is nice if you carry your ipod in a briefcase or purse/bag, etc. However its kind of hard to keep the flap out of the way when you actually want to use the touch interactivity or navigate with just one hand, so driving with this cover is out... (I've tried.) The major plusses of this case is the look and protection. If all you want to do is use your ipod when you are sitting still or you usually just press play and stick it back in a pocket or bag than this is a nice accessory. I purchased a DLO Jam Jacket at the same time and I have found that I use this case much more. DLO Jam Jacket with Cord Management and Surface Shields for iPod touch (Black) This case combined with a screen protector is very versatile and secure. I love being able to wrap up my headphones right on the back of the case.
