Considering purchase of IPod 7th generation

Question

I'm considering on purchasing an IPOD Touch 7th Generation but was told it was very sensistive to breakage.  Amazon has a bunch of protective covers for generation 4 IPODs.  Will the IPOD 4 case fit the IPOD Touch 7th Generation unit?

Hey Godhall, If your going for an iPod 5, (First released in 2012), I have one also, make sure you get a 32G or 64G model, they have both a front and rear camera, the 16G only has a screen side camera (good for Selfies, not much else). These are may favorites for cases; Griffin Survivor, Griffin Survivor + Catalyst, Lifeproof fre, Otterbox seems OK, I just didn't care for it. Of the cases listed they offer good shock, drop protection, will at least minimize broken screen issues, but the right wrong fall and the screen can still crack, all will protect against dirt, dust scratches, and weather, wind driven rain and snow. The Griffin Survivor and Otterbox are waterproof, will keep most water spills rain, snow off your iPod, but drop it the pond or toilet (happens a lot just read these forums) your iPod will get wet. The Griffin Survivor + Catalyst and Lifeproof fre are watertight, no water will get in if your drop it in the toilet, provided the seals are in working order and closed. If you do get a 16GB model the cases will still fit, you just have a port or window you don't need. Something else, all the windows on these cases are plastic, will scratch, But if you buy universal disposable screen protectors, cut then to fit the case's window and apply. When it get's beat up peel it off and replace with a fresh one, will not interfere with operation, and it's cheaper than replacing the case every few months. Hope this helps, Cheers.
