View Full Version : RadTech PodSleevz: screen-protection? scratches?

I'm looking for complete 4G iPod protection that comes on and off WITHOUT SCRATCHING. PodSleevz look great to me--but some say the screen-protector's stitching will scratch or scuff your iPod and screen over time! Others say it has an ugly sticky/wet look where it clings to the screen--just like many other vinyl screens do (something I hate).

My questions (after reading several reviews):



1. Can you avoid the scratching from the stitches? Would a PDA screen film work inside the PodSleevz, or would the tight fit mess up the film?

2. Does the screen protector have that vinyl "pooling" or "bubbling" effect where it sticks some places and not others? Can you smooth it away easily?

3. Some say the PodSleevz makes the controls very unresponsive. Others say you can't tell the difference, it's as good as having no case! Where's the truth?

4. How does it look turned inside out? That might spare the screen.

5. Is the Titanium gray color a true neutral gray? Or does it have a noticeable colored tint?

6. Anyone tried one with an iPod Photo? (The 40 GB model claims to support the Photo, but it must be tight.) Is it reasonably easy to get on and off so I can use my dock?

7. Is there anything else similar to this--usable right THROUGH the case--but without the scratch risk? I'll take mine in and out a LOT, and that seems to be what causes the scratches with PodSleevz.

TIA!
