iPod Touch 5G cases
TV King
14-10-2012
In September I Pre ordered a blue 64GB iPod Touch 5G which is being dispached by the 22-10-12 and I am trying to find a cases so that I can buy one to protecte it.

I have done a Google search and I have found a case that I quite like on LoveCases.co.uk.

It is from Case-Mate.

http://www.lovecases.co.uk/case-mate...5g-pink-1.html

On LoveCases.co.uk they say that it is for iPod Touch 5G but I have a few concerns about this.

1. If you look closely at the photo of the case it look like there is an iPhone in the case.

2. The case looks more thick that the slim dimensions of the iPod Touch 5G making me think that this is an iPhone case.

3. On the bottom of the case on the left hand side there is no hole for the loop so that you can not attach the lanyard to your iPod Touch 5G whilst you have it in this case (the think that looks like a camera strap).

Here are some photos of the iPod Touch 5G.

Also has anyone used LoveCases.co.uk and what are they like?

Also has anyone seen any other cases for the iPod Touch 5G that they would recommend that I should take a look at?

the photo shows an iPhone 4/4S in the case, which means that case can't possibly be for the 5G iPod Touch.

however, it's most likely a stock photo as they don't actually have stock of the case, due to it probably not even existing when they created the store page for it.

Thank you for your very kind help.

I have since found better iPod Touch 5th Generation cases on Amazon.

But I am not sure which one I should get.

All I know at the moment is that I want a blue case to match my blue 64GB iPod Touch 5 Generation.

Also is there anywhere else that I should be looking where I can get a case?

And can anyone recommend a case for a 64GB iPod Touch 5th Generation?

My iPod touch 5G will be arriving at the same time as yours and I'm in the same boat.

Can't find anything suitable at the moment so I'm not sure what I'm going to do about protecting it.
I've never bought an Ipod on release so I've never had this problem before.

It's a shame that Apple haven't atleast brought out a sock for it or ideally a smaller version of the original iPad case.

I'm thinking of getting the new Touch too.

Are there any deals going round? Now I know there won't be any retailer selling it cheaply because the price of these things is generally the same everywhere, but sometimes you get a retailer who throw in a free case if you order from them, or let you buy a £20 iTunes card for £10 or whatever.

I have had a good look today on the Internet for cases for the iPod Touch 5th Generation and I have found some TPU cases on eBay that are just what I am after and they are being sold by sellers in the UK.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nk...eneration+case

Most of them are clear gel and rubber cases and there is a very nice solid blue case but I won't be able to see the engraving that I have had done on the back but as I have already said it does look nice.

And here is an unboxing video of a TPU case that some one has brought and it look and sound like they are from the UK.

I hope that this help all of you who are looking to get a case for your band new and shine iPod Touch 5th Generation.

Thank you treefr0g for taking time to post and for your very kind help.

Next week I will go to town and see if the Argos there has the blue case in stock and if hey do then I will buy one as it will match my blue 64GB iPod Touch 5th Generation.

I am also going to buy one of the TPU cleare gel/rubber cases from eBay as well.

And I also saw Watchdog on Wendesday night with there piece on Argos and there special offers that are alway out off stock or advertised as being in an offer when they are not part of the offer.

Once again thank you for your very kind help

Today I managed to go to my local Argos and buy the last iPod Touch 5 Generation case in blue for £9.99 and it was the last one in stock.

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/5246900.htm

It can in a plan white box.

The case looks very nice and will go well with my blue 64GB iPod Touch 5 Generation when it turns up next week.

As I have already said I will also be buying a clear TPU gel/rubber case so that I can see the engraving that I am having done.

But I am pleased that I now have a case to protect my IPod Touch when it comes.

I just need to buy the Apple’s Lightning to 30-pin Adapter so that the new iPod Touch will work in existing Cambrige Audio iPod dock which is conected to my home cinema system.

I did have a look in my local Apple store and the women said that they had none left but were getting a delivery tomorrow so I will have a look on Tuesday.

Must be all of them iPhone 5 owners buying all them up.

Also I presume that my current Apple plug will work with my new iPod Touch as I guess that Ijust need to use the supplyed cable?

I have noticed that LoveCases.co.uk have now updated their images to newer ones so I'm guessing they were stock photo's. They've also got a decent collection of Cygnett cases http://www.lovecases.co.uk/ipod/ipod...covers/5g.html.

I've used Cygnett before with my old iPhone 4 and was impressed although I'm not sure which one to go for now can anyone recommend a thin case but still offers protection and a screen protector as well would be good.

Thanks.
