Is it necessary to buy a case for the iPod Classic?

😕Ok...

I just got an iPod Classic 160gb. I have had numerous iPods in the past, and i have not used a case on any of them.

Is the iPod Classic different, does it need a protective case to help protect the hdd.

The back scratches easily, i know.

Can anyone recommend a case?

iPod classic, Windows 7

Nothing has to have a case, but a case is always something that provides more safety. Remember that a case won't always save the iPod and doesn't promise it to always work. I always use a case because the back does scratch so easily and I like to keep my products looking new.


I bought an 80GB classic and put it in a case immediately. Two years later and it still looks amazing when i take it out of the case.


I don't have a case recommendation, but try to look for something that won't inhibit the iPod from pluggin into a docking station because the case wrapping around the bottom. I had a case that did that and it was a hassle to take the case off just to dock it at a friend's house so that we could all listen to some fun tunes.
