Does anyone have the iFrogz Audiowrapz?

[beckie66]

I was wondering how you like it? I wish there was a way to charge with the case on, but that seems like a lot to ask. I am going to get one (whenever that tax rebate arrives!) because my son uses my iPod to play games and watch podcasts, and I just turn the volume all the way up and place the earbuds next to him. I really would love to get him his own nano so I can have mine back, but uh, he is only 3 - lol.

No one has tried these yet?

I have never used them but one of my friends an iFrogz for his Classic and it seems to be a good case that fits really well and the clickwheel is covered.

I just bought one to try last night. No, you cannot charge it when it is in the case. The only out port on the actual case is a jack to bypass the speakers with the headphones. It doesn't get very loud, but you can hear it over a car motor and will be good for my kids to watch vids, share music or play games on it. It also has a decent volume for listening to when you are doing something where earbuds are cumbersome. You just can't "rock out" to it.

It comes with a screen protector, but not one for the click wheel, but that doesn't bother me. I got mine at Walmart for 19.96 and they had them in pink and black.

It won't replace my favorite case which is a clear acrylic that shows off the bright pink color, but it will be great in certain situtions.

Oh and you cannot reach the switch lock with the case on, so be prepared to use the on screen lock.

I ordered one today since our tax rebate arrived, and iFrogz is having a sale. I did see at their website that Wal-Mart sells them now...neat! I got the case mainly for my son, who is 3 3/4 yr old now, to use for when he plays games and watches podcasts so he isn't dragging the earbuds all over the place. Sounds like it will suit my needs perfectly. I will write more once I get it. We ordered a lime green case with an eyeball screenz (he picked it! lol) Thanks for the on-screen lock tip! :cool:

after nearly 3 weeks, my ipod is back...well, a replacement one, that is. it arrived in CA on may 7...and didn't get any further than scan-in until may 22...that was after two emails and two phone calls to apple...i don't know what happened...it fell off of a cart or something. the new one is hear and working a-ok! i was able to try out the ifrogz audiowrapz, and it is really neat. my son and i weren't too keen on the feel of the screenz, so i took it off. maybe once we get used to using the nano again, i will put it on. i did leave the most of the plastic-wrap on the nano itself, only cutting off the bottom half under the screen so that the wheel is exposed. the audiowrapz does not protect the screen like the iskin duo, and with a 3yr old using it, too, well, i don't want to take any chances. the ifrogz does come with a screen protection sticker, but the one that came in with my case was bent, and i am sure that bend will show up on the screen, so i am going to email ifrogz to see if i can get another one. i am so glad i bought it, and the nano with that case on still fits in my pocket. it is a really cool invention, for sure.

I bought one at wallmart but returned it after I heard the sound quality. It is a great idea but the sound was far to tinny for my tastes. I usually can deal with low quality sound but to me the sound was so bad it was not worth the price tag. The case was nice and protective, I wish it had a proper sceen protectoR.

[beckie66]

Oh I am sorry to hear that. Maybe you got a bad one or something because mine isn't tinny at all. And the volume is really loud - you can even hear it in the car with the windows down. My son uses it in the back and I can hear it fine in the front. I, too, wish it had a hard screen protector, but the stick-on one that came with the Audiowrapz is doing a fine job. I had to cut it down a little, but so far, it is working great.
