Review for GEAR4 / PodGear IceBox 20 - Crystal Clear Case for iPod 4G 20Gb (Not Colour Screen):
It looks great and it keeps it nice and clean. But if your looking for one with a good belt clip look somewere else. Overall its worth the money so go for it.

This is a great piece of kit. It would be 5 stars but i wouldn't trust the belt clip so thats why its a 4 star.It looks great and it keeps it nice and clean. But if your looking for one with a good belt clip look somewere else. Overall its worth the money so go for it.

Review for GEAR4 / PodGear FlakJacket - Rubberized Aluminum Case for Ipod mini:
Although it does indeed seem to fit snugly into the case when it's open, the cover is not flush to the front of the iPod, meaning that it moves about inside the case. This either means that the iPod slips to the front of the case, so the various bits and bobs at the top and bottom of the iPod are inaccessible, or that it leaves a large gap at the front of the case when it slips to the back.
There are far better cases available. Go and get one of those instead.

Like a pea in a drum
Yes, indeed this is like a flak jacket for your iPod mini, however what it fails to mention is that it's like your iPod wearing a flak jacket that's two sizes too big for it.Although it does indeed seem to fit snugly into the case when it's open, the cover is not flush to the front of the iPod, meaning that it moves about inside the case. This either means that the iPod slips to the front of the case, so the various bits and bobs at the top and bottom of the iPod are inaccessible, or that it leaves a large gap at the front of the case when it slips to the back.

Impressed
Just recieved this today, and Im very impressed with it. Fits nice and snug over the shuffle.Its thinner over the front buttons, and at the back, this makes it very easy to turn on and off, and change volume / song etc.34

Review for Gear4/PodGear CarDock - Cradle/Charger for iPod:
This will be god send, to some a nightmare for others and it all depends on your make of car.
Firstly; the cradle works perfectly. It securely holds your 'pod and charges and powers as it goes. Brilliant. Except, that is when it come to to layout of your car. I've got a Rover 214. The cigarette lighter is right at the base of the centre console, right in front of the gear stick. So, to get it out of the way, one employs the extension arm that comes with the cardock and your 'pod is lifted above the gear stick. So far so good....except when it comes to corners. Your 'pod is on the end of an arm that is fixed into a circular hole and it simply falls left and right when driving in town or on a roundabout. There is a washer type item that you fit into the lighter socket to make the fit more snugly, but even with that it simply cannot hold that amount of weight, in that postion, securely. I can put in a postion that makes it rest on the edge of the passenger seat, but that isnt always practical.
When buying consider where your lighter socket is.

Review for GEAR4 / PodGear JumpSuit 4G/40Gb and Photo - 3 Pack of Silicon Cases for iPod 4G 40Gb and Photo:
Not sure how previous reviewer could have scratched their iPod on the belt clip as there isn't one.
Don't try use any of these sleeve type of cases with a docking device. If you just use the cable (like me) then you'll be ok.
My iPod spends all its life in the glovebox of the car so these are ideal.
"Glass protectors" are actually sticky bits of clear film so unlikely to give that much protection to sharp edges but hey, better than nothing!
I like the three different colours. Should have made the charcoal one totally black so you could have an optional"U2" edition iPod.

IPod Jumpsuits
Only £15 for 3 soft rubbery cases. Actually quite cheap for an iPod accessory even though i shudder to think how much it actually costs to make 3 bits of rubber.Not sure how previous reviewer could have scratched their iPod on the belt clip as there isn't one.

Well made but could be improved
Plus Points: Well designed, good sound for the speaker size, very conveniant to use.Minus Points:No auto shut-off,not designed for the iPod Nano (but were still able to use it on the Nano).
Conclusion: For this price just buy one!
