I own this sleeve now for over half a year and it still looks like the first day. Material discolouration or wear it are not in this envelope. The iPod touch fits perfectly in and he is protected from all sides - the front. All buttons can be still easily accessible and operate despite protection.
Anyone who is looking for a discreet cover for his iPod, the Grip Vue Case from Belkin should take a closer look definitely. I would recommend it without hesitation.
