I received a batch of cases today, and other than a case that I already had one of, and had previously reviewed, this one was by far my favorite. Part of that is probably because I am a big fan of flip cases, part of it is due to the functionality of the case.

First off, it will protect your iPod Touch all the way around only leaving a couple slits on the side and the ports on the bottom open for access, but that’s good because you can attach attachments or charge your iPod without removing it from the case. Then there is the belt clip, its sturdy, firmly attached, and clipped to my pants quite easily.

Also, you can store credit cards, ID, or money in a small pouch on the inside of the flap. However, and this is the only downside I saw, if you put too much stuff in the little pouch, it will push the flap away from the iPod so the case wont “close” if you will, and, whatever you do put in there, if you push it too far down, it will obstruct the magnet, and once again, it won’t close. Other than that, I love this case, and I am going to be taking it with me today when I go shopping.

If you want one, you can get your own DLO HipCase from the Apple-Touch Store for $29.95.
