Fantastic purchase

January 26, 2010

I bought this case for a new Classic Ipod. I had always held off on buying a Classic because they are, well, ugly (as opposed to the Nano). I was so relieved when I discovered Shades! The Shades case is so great because it's slim, not bulky, and because it's pretty. And it's inexpensive enough that you can buy more than one (if you prefer different colors on different days). This was a great purchase!

Just What I Wanted

January 10, 2010

I had been searching the web for over 2 hours looking for a 160gb ipod cover. Took a chance with Shades and am really glad I did. Fits snugly n gives my ipod a really cute funky look.

Great Product

January 7, 2010

I loved the shade when I got it. But it broke when I tried to get my Ipod out. It is a very tight squeeze to get them in. So I ordered another one and I will see if it goes better the second time around. I have a 5th gen Video 30gp ipod.

1st Class

January 7, 2010

I purchased this shade to protect my new ipod nano 5G it fits the ipod perfectly, wafer thin which unlike a lot of other bulky covers, feels soft to the touch,strong and reliable and is ideal protection against accidents, but most importantly protects the screen from scratches and damage. I highly recommend this product. The customer service is of a very high standard, fast and reliable always a pleasure to deal with. All in all a excellent product and company.

great cutomer service!

January 6, 2010

I ordered the purple case for my new Ipod Classic. It was beautiful but had a small defect in it. I contacted customer support and they sent me a new one. The case fits very snug and the click wheel works great. The only downside is that the screen sticks but they said that this would go away over time. It is also difficult to remove because of how tight it fits, but this was somewhat expected since it fits like a second skin. It is overall a very good and attractive case that will not add bulk to the sleek ipod.

Real good quality

One of the worst products I have ever ordered

January 5, 2010

I just bought a cool blue case for my first gen iphone(i bought the right one) and the case is so tight that it changes the volume it also has a protector on the screen which is good but you have to press very hard to get the screen to respond. This is the worst thing I have ever bought. Don't buy one if you do you will be very very dissapointed. I have no idea how all the other reveiws are good this product is amazingly horrible.
- Alex Frost


Great case

January 4, 2010

Just got the black and silver case for the first gen iphone and could not be happier with the overall feel of the case. At first it fits really snug and pushes down the sleep and volume buttons but later it stretches out. Great case, I will for sure be getting different colors
- Mike


Love this Case!

January 3, 2010

I love this case. It looks like a racecar, is sturdy like a tank and continues to look good after years of use. I already own 5 in different colors. Now I've gotten my Dad hooked on them. Thank you for making the perfect solution for keeping my precious iPod in top condition! You guys rock.

Everything I expected

January 2, 2010

Got this for my kids for Christmas and they really like it. Do have a view issues with the bubbles on the screen, but they don't seem to mind at all. It can be eliminated by manipulating the shade. They really like it because they can put it on their docking station without taking it off. I also put a label on both of their ipods with their name, address and phone number in the event they misplace their ipod and hopefully it will be returned. You can see this through their shade , so anyone can see who it belongs too. Did have a bit of trouble trying to take it off once applied, but hopefully won't have to take it off again. I feel like once its on, it will stay. I really like the security this offers to the ipod. No scratched screens or casing. Just wish it was waterproof.

lovee it

Great Case

December 22, 2009

Just received my cool blue shades case in the mail today, very snug fit to my 1st generation iPhone, which i like. it does stick to the screen, but not too big of a deal, i would suggest, however, to cut a hole around the volume control buttons.. the case was pressing down on them, causing the ringer icon to stay on screen and change the volume level. i ended up cutting around it with an exact-o, and it works great. Great case so far.

Classic IPod Cover

December 8, 2009

I bought several cases for my daughter. She was blown away by all the color selections. You can't go wrong with any of the selections...the colors are vribrant! The blue is a true blue. The other great thing about this product is they are ego-friendly. Try them!
- Marsha


Awesome case! best i've ever used.

November 17, 2009

An awesome case for your iPhone as it gives your phone full protection from all sides including the screen in 1 simple and complete package. Absorbs impacts too with the slight lip on the sides of the case as i've dropped my iPhone a few times already without any problems so far. However, I did drop it once unfortunately on the bottom and the base where it's not covered and the bottom cover cracked a little, this proves the benefit of using this case! Best case ever! See it to believe. I'll be ordering a few more colours very soon!
- Cheers. Nick Ee.


Great Case!

November 4, 2009

I currently have the pink shades case for my iphone 3gs and I love it! Everyone who has seen it compliments the look of my phone. I would totally give it five stars but I do have some air bubbles - some go away but some don't - other than that the case is perfect. I'm tempted to buy all the colors!
- JennJenn


great case low profile

October 31, 2009

i bought the blue & clear/black months ago..have dropped my phone several times since & i have no cracks or scratches. but like many, the sticking to the screen does occur. it's annoying but not too big a deal, b/c it's better then a cracked screen! i love this case!just ordered 3 more. it's said they are non-stick if so....5 stars!!

iPhone Case

October 28, 2009

I love my shades case and that it's all in one! I'm having trouble with the volume control with my original iPhone. Since the seam is right near the left volume control, it makes it almost impossible to change the volume (which somehow always goes down to first level) after time.

IPod Touch Best Case Ever!

January 27, 2010

I got an IPod touch for christmas and wouldnt use it till I found the perfect case... I did not want the screen to get scratched so until I found the Shades Website after searching for two weeks... I love it... bought three colors, red for my sister... purple for me... and clear for a back up. I just love it. tight fit, nicely protects the whole Ipod and still allows to dock on just about everything. I have had no problems at all. Little Bubbles on screen at first, but just slide a business card or credit card and bubblesare cleared away. I love mine and will recommend this to any and everyone!

Protective without the bulk

January 10, 2008

Simply put, this is the solution for those who want to carry around their ipod and do not want all the excess weight, size and loss of sensitivity you get with hard cases, leather cases and the like. I love the "Environmental green" packaging.

thumbs up!

January 22, 2010

very lightweight and fit snugly to my 80g classic. i've tried silicone case, hard/bag type case and others but they add up the bulk. The best one so far! (too bad theres no shades for my zune hd too :P)
- Zz


Very Pleased!

November 16, 2009

Thanks for the great service. I received the new case today and it's a perfect fit. Very pleased. If only I knew about this company before I wasted money on multiple invisible shields that just started to peel after a couple weeks.

Awesome

August 12, 2009

I have a white 3g s, I purchased the hot pink and sunrise orange. They look soo great on my iPhone. I laugh at people with da bulky cases(that cost $30) on their iPhone cuz it looks so big. Then I'd whip out my iPhone and people instantly fall in love with my shades. Shades have excellent cust serv and Jennifer you're the best. The air bubbles are annoying but it clears up over time. Thanks for making my iphone so stylist at a great price with full protection. Shades is a must have, iPhone users you must get one!!!

Sleek, stylish protection

November 4, 2009

I purchased the black Shades case for the original iPhone and it was very easy to install. Just place a thin card on top of the iPhone and slide it into the case. Remove the card and smooth the case. That's it. I did not experience any bubbles and I do have a Power Support matte screen protector. Sensitivity is great. The price is just right.

The best case made for Iphone

August 13, 2008

Thank you Shades cases! I just received my case today. Wow... smooth and speedy delivery. I have to say I'm impressed! The case is a perfect design. Not at all bulky, yet strong and a nice snug fit that compliments the phones form. I love it! I will be purchasing the other colors as well. Anyone thinking of purchasing a shades case... I recommend it!

Thankyou!

August 3, 2008

I just want to say Thank you Shades cases. After searching all the stores, endless searching online and trying many different cases for my ipod touch, The Shades case is by far the best one I've had yet. The case fully protects the device and does not allow any dust or scratches. This case allows me to use any of my accesories. When these cases hit stores, This will be a great selling item!

BEST CASE YOU CAN BUY!

April 25, 2009

I have had a Shades case since christmas now when i bought the new ipod touch. I wanted something that would cover the entire ipod and this was the only case i could find in my four weeks of searching. These cases are great, sleak, unique, cheap and durable. These cases aren't bulky and you don't have to worry about it breaking. It sticks to the ipod fairly tightly so it doesn't just fall off. If your looking to get it off i just slide a business card or something like that in the case and lift up a bit and it slides right out. Hope those of you looking to buy a Shades case does. You will not be disappointed!!!

LOVE IT!!

March 10, 2009

I recently met a musician and had him sign the back of my IPod. I found this site by accident when I was looking for a clear case to protect it. I purchased one case and got 3 more for free. They shipped quickly and are the best protection I've found for my Ipod 160 GB. They're not big and bulky and I love that I can change the color based on my mood. I will DEFINITELY be ordering more colors and sizes. Thanks.

iphone and classic

December 31, 2008

My husband and I each got a shade for our iPhones. They were a bit stiff at first, but after a week or so of daily use, they were great. They are so easy to slip on and off. We have orange and blue and now we don't grab each other's phones on accident.
We got our kids shades for their new iPod Classics for Christmas and they LOVE them. They are still a little stiff, but the wheel gets easier to use each time they pick them up. The colors are terrific. My sister saw mine and immediately got on the website and picked out 2 for herself to have me get for her birthday.

Great Case! & Tip!

September 16, 2008

I bought the iphone case, and when I was trying to clean off the case and put it back on, I accidently put the phone in backwards. Dumb moment, but it was a terror to get off again. Suddenly I had a stroke of genius, I put a regular old playing card up against the screen, and the phone slipped right out of the case. This worked as well as when it was put in the right way as well. Anyone looking to switch their cases around could benefit from this, as when something is put between the case and the screen, the phone will slide out with a fraction of the force.
As far as case reviews go, I gave this thing a LOT of abuse trying to get the phone out of the case when I put it in backwards and there's very, very minor wear. Very well made, the color is vibrant (I got the orange, looks like the sony ericsson walkman orange, which is what I wanted exactly), and it protects everything. The bubbling isn't that much visible when the screen is on, and who cares what it looks like when it's off. Fantastic value, best case I've seen so far.
