Works with 2nd gen iPod Touch

I like the unit, if you don't have any other mounting options it works well and you can rotate from portrait to landscape mode. Also, I wasn't sure if this would fit with the new 2nd gen iPod Touch because they are slightly different, but it fits like a glove. I've gone over quite a few big bumps and everything stays in place.

Works as advertised

This is a fine product. It is very nice to get the wires and ipod out of the way, safely secured to the vent. Easy access.

Ok for 2nd gen iPod Touch

Not a bad product. A little flimsy on the plastic but does what it's meant for. Used it for a 2nd gen iPod touch with no trouble but it won't fit if you have any kind of jacket on the iPod

Love it.

(Note: Although the manafacturer does not guarantee it, this holder also works great with the iPod Touch 2G. I have tested it with no problems.) Firstly let me state that this more of a holder than a protective case. I tend to be a little more conscious of how I handle my iPod touch versus my iPod Nano, so not having a skin or protective case wasn't that much of a concern. Plus, I use those clear protective overlays for the screen of my Touch which is actually the part I worry about the most. This is the second holder I've purchased for my Touch. The first being the Speck SeeThru hard shell. While the case was great and offered much more protection, there was a problem. You couldn't use it and still have a protective overlay on the screen. The clear film wasn't able to lay completely flush with the edges of the screen since some of it was now taken up by the case. One big feature I had been looking for is the "kick-stand" option. The ability to tilt your Touch (wide-screen position)at an angle suitable for watching videos hands-free. I'm amazed that so few cases address this issue. Only the Speck case and this DLO holder have it. Have you ever been on a plane watching a movie on your Touch? How do you keep the player tilted up while viewing? Holding it in your hand for 2 hours? With your bag of peanuts? The angle featured in the kick-stand picture is actually a little too high to be comfortable, but after playing around with the rotating clip on the back I found a better way with the perfect viewing angle (you'll figure it out). Add to it that this holder also includes a way to carry your Touch securely on your belt and in your car and you have a winner!

1 caveat with 2nd generation iPod Touch

This little holder is fantastic. I love being able to clip in my iPod Touch (2nd Generation) to the dash for easy operation while driving. The one difficulty is that the headphone jack is slightly covered up by one of the arms of the holder. This was easily solved in 5 minutes with a drill, but worth noting before you buy it that you'll have to mod it a bit to be able to use the headphone jack while in the case. Still, better than anything else on the market.
