Can anyone recommend a good flip leather case for Ipod Touch 4g?


Recommended Posts

I just bought an Ipod Touch 4th Generation and am looking for a good flip leather case. I don't want to spend too much (i.e. $20 or less) and I want a flip leather case so it can protect the screen. I don't want one with a magnetic flap as I personally believe that magnet can do some harm to the Ipod overtime. I also want one that has open holes for the camera lens, the charging port and the headphone jack. I've been searching through Amazon and am having a hard time finding the right leather case that meets all these requirements. So, I need some help.

Can someone recommend a good flip leather case with no magnetic flap that's under $20?

If you want to protect your ipod get a otterbox defender.

It has a clear screen protector built into the case. IMO spend the extra $10 for your sanity.

I can't tell you how much this has saved my kids ipod from drops and scrapes. They also have the best case warranty, they will replace the case at no cost if it becomes damaged.

You can see the clear protective cover at :49

this guy throws the device in the otterbox at 8:15

here is a otterbox defender vs a griffin survivor drop test, both similar

Both otterbox and griffin offer lower models, these are their most rugged models.

Are the holes in the bottom PERFECTLY positioned on the charging port and headphone jack? A lot of these cases tend to be a bit off on the position of their holes. So, I just want to confirm that one thing before making such an expensive purchase...

expensive is when you have to replace it due to a cracked or non functioning screen. $30 beats $200+ In the first video at 2:20 you can see the case where he shows the bottom rubber piece which protects the earphone and sync/charge location, you can see there is plenty of room to get the cables in there. Nothing stops the cables from being able to plug in.

Just make sure the screen is clean and free of dust or it will be stuck between the shield and the screen.

I went to Best Buy and was hoping to see this in store so I can see what it looks like in person and can buy it right away, but they didn't have it. Oh well. Just placed my order from Amazon. It seems like they're the only retailer that carries this particular case...

I got my case in the mail the other day and to be honest, that rubber piece is the only complaint I have. Since I have headphones plugged in 95% of the time, that rubber piece can become annoying. It's ok to cover the charge port, but it's impractical to have the earphone port covered. Aside from that little flaw, it's a great case, nevertheless. I'd be hard pressed to find a better case out there. So, I'm very happy with the purchase.

If it is that annoying you can cut out that rubber piece that covers the headphone leaving the charge cover in tact. But if you like having it there just in case you can leave it. We cut out the rubber for the headphones leaving charger in tact.

my wife has the same case for her iphone. this weekend my daughter throws the phone down on the ground, hardwood floors, and my wife doesn't even flinch. Almost any other case that phone would have cracked or shattered. I can't recommend the defender enough.

For under $20 i don't know any good cases, but here's the one i've been using for a few years now:

Would you trust your enough to do what this guy does at 8:15 here https://www.youtube....h?v=2egoH96q4Hg I have had serious drops with this case and it has never cracked. I can't say that I would have the trust of being able to simply drop it with that belkin (I have seen plenty of oopsies) and I have had a belkin case which did little to protect and ended up with a cracked screen.

Sure if i was getting paid to do stuff like that then i would try it. But since i use my ipod every day and got no reason to toss it. So my belkin works great for me.

My brother has the same problem with his iPhone. He searched many shops to solve his phone's problem. Atlast, he bought a good flip to his iPhone recently. It was less in cost and has open holes also for the camera,charging ports. But it didn't has for headphone jack. If anyone having better solutions than this please share your views.

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
