What kind of case should I buy for new ipod touch?

There seem to be so many different kinds.  I see that they have hard plastic ones and soft, silicone type ones.  Which is more durable and will protect the ipod better if dropped?  Also, what is a screen protector?  Do I need to buy a pack of these in addition to the case or do cases already have screen protectors?  If they are separate, do they make any cases that protect the screen on their own?

The best case is no case at all.
Just like camera cases from years ago, the case just gets in the way when you want to use it.  We called them never-ready cases.
Screen protectors will deflect some scratches, but I have yet to find one that does not degrade the image quality.
I do not work for Best Buy and am not affiliated with them in any way. I like HT and want to help people improve their HT experience. "There is a LOT more than just having a TV to make a home theater"

  • Should I buy the new iPod Touch?

    So I've had my iPod Touch 3G, 8GB (considered 2G, though), for about 3 years now. It's still in good condition except for a few cracks in the screen, and a slower processing speed. It also quits apps unexpectedly, and other minor problems like that. My question is should I replace my old iPod Touch with the new one with FaceTime, HD recording, a camera, iOS 5, and iCloud, and other features?

    the iPod touch 4th gen hardware ( the currently one is the 2010 model except for the new colour option ) is comparable to that of the iphone4 but with the major difference : iPod has 256MB of memory and the Backside camera has only 0,7Megapixels instead of the iphone4 which has 5MP. ( 4s = 8MP )
    I have the iPod touch and am very very pleased with it. Aside from the "only 0,7MP" the camera creates brilliant HD Movies ( outdoors and in daylight ).  It runs the latest games and apps. I have yet to find a game that does not run on it. The display is the very same as in the iphone4 with Retina. Compared to the 3rd gen everything looks cripy and non-pixelated. You can even read small text without zooming into it.
    It is also a perfect mini pocket computer for office use, if you buy the iwork apps ( Use them everyday in iPod ) .
    It will also run iMovie and the new Cards.app and many many others.
    And iOS5 is even faster then iOS4 .( to me it feels so ).
    I recommend it. But it is up to you.

  • What kind of HDD should I buy for Mac mini late 2007

    1. Toshiba or Hitachi or Maxtor or Fuji...?
    2. 2.5" SATA or 2.5" SATA2 or..?
    3. What brand and specification inside the New Mac mini(March 2009 later) for 120GB and 320GB?

    Toshiba, Hitachi and Maxtor have varied histories when it comes to letting bugs get out of the manufacturing process. That's why I mentioned Seagate. I don't know how good Fuji is.

  • Should I buy the new iPod Touch or just keep my 4th generation iPod

    I don't know if i should upgrade. I like the bigger screen but I haven't got a lot of money

    But if it had the Apple version of maps I won't be getting it. My sister's getting a 5th gen for christmas and I wanted to know if it was better or just a bigger version of the 4th gen. And my 4th gen is fast but I only have about 4 apps on it
    Thanks

  • What kind of iphone5 shoud I buy for using in China? The contract free, unlocked one listed for $649 is OK for me?

    What kind of iphone5 shoud I buy for using in China? The contract free, unlocked one listed for $649 is OK for me? Thanks!

    China phones should be purchased there as they use unique carrier settings. Phones from other countries may not work properly.
    Also, the iPhone warranty is not international and won't be valid outside the country where the phone was purchased.

  • What 2T external HD should I buy for my macbook pro for photos, videos and music storage?

    Hello friends!!
    What 2T external HD should I buy for my macbook pro for photo, music and videos storage?
    Thank U!!

    My personal preference is for the OW, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro quad-interface drive...have four of them of the 2 TB size and they are very good performers.  The quad-interface allows you a choice of ways to connect, eSata, Firewire 800/400, USB which is very convenient.  OWC is a Mac specialist so everything has been tested and guaranteed to be Mac compatible.

  • Should i buy the latest ipod touch 4G 2011 ,or wait for an update on it's hardware ?

    Should i buy the latest ipod touch 4G 2011 ,or wait for an update on it's hardware ?
    Do you think guys that it will take about a year for it's future update ? Please help me decide .

    Only Apple knows what they will be doing and they have not told outsiders yet.  Maybe new harware in about a year but maybe earlier or later.  If you wnat the4G purchase it.

  • Should I buy the 4g iPod touch now? April 2012

    Hello. I am looking to buy a new iPod touch, but I need the latest and greatest. Now, here are my speculations:
    The New iPad just came out, so I don't know when Apple is going to have their next event. I assume theier next even will be in about 2 months, and the invitation for this event will be about music. In the event they will announce all new iPods, including the new iPod touch, Nano, Shuffle, and maybe even the iPod Classic. (By the way, if they don't release a new Classic, they will end it's production line.)
    The iPod touch will include a new 5 MP camera as seen on the New iPad, No A5 X Chip (The reason I think it won't get the A5 X chip is because Apple usually wants the iPhone to get the upgraded specs before the iPod, and the iPhone has not recived the A5X Chip yet.), and some other features like keyboard voice dictation. This new iPod will NOT have Siri. Thats all I can think of for speculations of the new iPod touch.
    Can someone tell me if these speculations seem correct, or I'm speaking nonsense, and should not wait for the new iPod touch. The only thing I'm intrested in the new iPod is the upgraded camera, otherwise I would get the current iPod now. I want your thoughts, opinions, rumors, whatever... What do you think?

    It's against the Terms of Use of this forum to speculate about future products and you agreed not do it when you signed up to the forum.
    So even if we wanted to, we cannot add to your discussion. Quited frankly, what would be the point? If - and I stress if - a new iPod is ever announced, and it is missing any or all of the features you've expressed an interest in, you will simply be disappointed with it.
    Feel free to post your thoughts in a non-Apple forum, but it's a waste of your time to do so here.

  • What is the factory setting pin code for my ipod touch?

    im looking to make a purchase in app on my ipod touch and i need to switch off the restrictions under general settings. in order to this i need the pin code which is 4 digits. this must be factory set as ive not set it previously.
    thanks

    A: what is the factory setting pin code for my ipod touch?

    There is no default setting. You have to set the passcodes. If you cannot remember them, then see:
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
    Connect your device to your computer.
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
    Select the Summary tab.
    Select the Restore option.
    When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary to create another.
    Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up, you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
    When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple logo while starting up:

  • What is the best anti theft app for an iPod touch

    What is the best anti-theft application for an iPod touch? Is there one where I can register the serial number, and then if someone tries to do a hard reset and hook it into iTunes online it will alert me. Is something like that available? Or, can all anti-theft software be overidden with a complete 'hard' reset?
    Thanks,
    John Thompson

    There is no app that will prevent some one from stealing and then using your device.  Like Limmos said, wiping the device erases all data and then its just a matter of connecting the device to a computer running iTunes and restoring the device to factory settings and then setting it up as a new device.
    In short, once its gone, its gone...

    It's not just iTunes you need to update...
    You need to upgrade to Leopard v10.5.8 at the very least in order to sync, restore, and backup an iPod touch.
    See iPod touch system requirements here.
    Leopard is available from Amazon here.
