There are hundreds of different iPod cases to choose from. When you search “iPod case” on eBay, there is page after page of search results. So how do you choose an iPod case for your iPod? This might sound simple but many people buy an iPod case and 1 month later, are unhappy with it. By reading this article you will be able to confidently choose an iPod case that you will be able to use for the rest of your iPods life.
Where should I buy my iPod case? This is completely up to you. You could either buy online or offline. The advantage of buying offline is that you will be able to look at and get a feel of the cover before you buy it. There are many different places where iPod cases are available to buy, there places include markets, department shops and apple computer shops. Keep in mind that you will be paying full price for your cover. You would be surprised how much more expensive it is compared to online websites.
Or you can buy online. Some online shops include apple, eBay and many, many others. The official apple shop has a great extensive range of iPod cases. They will specifically tell you what case suits what iPod and you can even do an advanced search to search for items only of your model. When buying on eBay there are literally thousands to choose from and often they are not available in retail shops or the official apple site. If you have brought on eBay before you would have more experience. If you are new to eBay, I would recommend sticking to other websites.
There are many other online stores from apple and eBay. When you do a Google search you will fine quite a few well known sites that have an extensive range of cases. Out of all the sites, apple is probably the easiest and you have a very good chance that you will not be scammed. Whether you choose to buy online or offline, these next instructions are very important. When choosing the design of the case you should have a good idea of the type of case you want. Some people are looking for protective cases and others are buying a case based on the idea to make their iPod look better.
When choosing a protective case, have a good idea of how protected you want your iPod to be. If you know that your iPod will be thrown around a bit and receive potentially dangerous bumps, I would recommend that you consider buying a fully enclosed case. With some protective cases, you have to remove the iPod before use and with others you can use your iPod when the case is on. Protective cases that are for use when you are using your iPod, there is only one major problem. Often these cases have holes for the screen and also the click wheel. Having a big hole for the screen in a case is only wasting your money. The screen is the most important part of your iPod, protect it.
The other types of protective cases are ones where you have to remove your iPod before using. I highly recommend using these. They are most effective from protecting your iPod from dangerous bumps. If you are worried about your iPod getting scratched then you might consider buying an iPod skin also. Most people buy a cover are for protection and usually protective cases don’t look so good. It all comes down to how much you respect your iPod, they do not naturally last for long so you do not want to reduce its life any further, do you?
Next I will talk about color. When choosing the color for your new case, it is up to you what you choose. Just keep in mind that you will be looking at it for however long you use it for. Choose your favorite color or be safe and stick with black or grey.
When choosing the material, it is another question of how much you want to protect your iPod. Choose metal or hard plastic if you want to protect it from hard bumps. If you want a good looking case that also has some amount of protection, the leather cases are great. I have owned one for 7 months and have not grown sick of it. The leather stops my iPod from getting scratched and has a decent amount of padding. I was very happy when I purchased the cover and I still am.
That is about it. If you see something you like but it is too expensive, look around at different stores either online or offline. When I brought my leather iPod case, It was very expensive in the shops and on apple store. I decided to look on eBay. I found what I was looking for and it was 5 times cheaper. The payment was very easy and I received my cover in 4 days. In conclusion, eBay is great for buying iPod covers but if you have not used eBay before, there are many other places to buy them.
