Product Review: CAPDASE Soft Jacket 2 Xpose for Apple iPod Touch 4th Gen.

Recently, like yesterday recently, I got myself a 32GB Apple iPod Touch 4th Gen in Games & Gadgets in SM City Calamba. Now, this entry won't be tackling the iPod Touch since I know numerous (Yeah, like thousands.) reviews have been made about it and since the 5th Gen is looming in the distance already. 

So, being that it's new, I decided to get my newly acquired gadget some protective gear. Since Matt, a co-Iskolar, got his 16GB iPad WiFi a CAPDASE Soft Jacket 2 Xpose (SJAPIPAD-P202), I checked out the CAPDASE stocks they have in Games & Gadgets. Luckily, I found the CAPDASE 2 Soft Jacket 2 Xpose (SJIPT4-P202) for my unit. Games & Gadgets sells it for 849php, although it's also being sold at only 800php in the other shop which is literally next to Games & Gadgets. I decided to get it there, though, since the 49php premium would serve as my payment for one whole year of shop warranty.

The CAPDASE 2 Soft Jacket 2 Xpose (SJIPT4-P202) is actually a 4-in-1 kit which includes an ultra slim and custom-fit , open-faced silicone case made from high quality materials, a black nylon protective pouch, a movie stand, and a crystal clear screen protector.

The Silicone Case feels very smooth and it has a tight grip on the iPod unit. It also is very thin so you need not worry about your iPod Touch getting thick because of the case. The Vinyl Screen Protector is plain awesome. It really is crystal clear. It gives justice to the breathtaking Retina Display of the iPod Touch. Oh, and it's scratch-proof, too! The included Nylon Protective Pouch is a nice addition to the set, especially for those who are over-protective of their iPod. One problem I have with it is that its Velcro flap is somewhat always semi-opened because only about an inch on the middle of the case has Velcro on it. No biggie, though. The Movie Stand, I would say, is my favorite item on the kit.

It can support the iPod Touch vertically.

Or horizontally. Perfect for watching those HD Movies in your iPod Touch.

Some might say that spending 849php for this kit is not worth it since there are a lot of cheaper options, but then again CAPDASE is a trusted brand. So, I guess sometimes, you can really put a price on quality.

PROS: Made of good materials. Readily available.
CONS: A bit pricey. The Nylon Protective Pouch could've been better if it had proper Velcro alignment.

FINAL RATING: 4 out of 5
