The SportGrip Core for iPod touch 4G offers a rugged, protective silicone carrying solution with an attractive dimpled core texture on the back. Designed to be attractive, comfortable, and shock-absorbent, this case is one of the most comfortable carrying solutions on the market, and the difference in quality is immediately apparent the moment you touch it.Best of all, the SportGrip Core is superior to other silicone or rubber cases because it doesn t just protect the sides, back, and corners it also covers part of the front. This not only improves the snug fit of the case, but it also provides an extra cushioned buffer that helps keep trouble away from your display, especially when it is placed (or falls) face down.
