I hesitated with a classic hull for a long time but want to have a style holster made me lean towards this model. Indeed the case is very beautiful, the leather is high quality, the magnetic CLIPO is convenient and everything happens well presented. Unfortunately, it does not fulfill its primary mission. If your Ipod falls on the base (where the jack and the connector is located), it will not be protected and will be in direct contact with the ground .. Blame it on the shell in the case which lacks some minimeters for many, wrap ipod and secure it against drops and scratches common on this part of the unit. You choose: style or safety. I prefer security.
