Catchy slogan, good looks, and oh so much more. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to describing the Shade for the iPod touch 1st gen in just a few, short words. From diverse color choice to surprising affordability,$16.95, Shades really do go far and beyond with a lot of bang for your buck along the way.

The Case

DESIGN

After weeks of use, the Shade proved to be quite the accessory.
As seen to the side, the Shade has quite a simple design. The case itself is one piece.

Varying from others brands, Shades offers full screen protection for the iPod built into the case with no need for any additional accessories bought (screen protectors). The material used to make this innovative product is resilient Polyurethane (soft-plastic) which has many uses, but is known for durability and protection. In this case, impermeability toward water, quite useful for an iPod by the way. Then a resistance to dirt, grime, wrinkles, and other issues plaguing cases makes a Shade all the better.

The only exposed area of the case is the bottom, USB port and earphone jack.
This proves especially useful for plugging into docks and other power source as well as eliminating the need for an adapter or anything of that source. Money-saving and convenient. Two things I like to hear!
Also worth mentiong, it makes application a snap.
(See APPLICATION)

The Shades case is surprisingly thin, only .4mm! It offers a snug fit for the iPod while at the same time giving it a nice, firm grip. Then combine that with it being light-weight and we have ourselves a win-win.

APPLICATION

Placing the case on the iPod can be defined as simplicity at its best.
(The opening at the bottom is not only for easy accessibility but also acts as the primary way to place the case on the iPod)

The entire process is simply sliding the iPod into the case. Easy as that.
The case has two slits, one on each side. Both allow opening the case a bit to aid in placing the Shade. It is recommended that the iPod first be cleaned with a cloth, and then just slide the Touch in until it is completely covered, and that’s it.

Now, you’re protected while at the same time looking pretty stylish.

REMOVAL

Removing the Shade is simple as well, but there were some issues here and there.

In practice, the user simply turns the iPod upside down and uses their thumb to push it down. In my experience it was fairly easy but required a bit of force.
Tip: Don’t be so hesitant to use some elbow grease and get that sucker off.
Afterward, apply a few times and allow the case to get familiar to your iPods body. Soon, it’ll go on with no problem.

Aside from this minor issue, if at that, removal was fairly easy and just shows that simplicity doesn’t rule out quality and ingenuity.

LOOKS

Style and a certain bit flair. The Shade certainly fits these descriptions.
Available in a multitude of color options, Shades certainly offers quite a bit to the table and gives the customer a bit to think about. Whether you be a guy or a gal, Shades are befitting.

Then we have the elegant textured appearance which seems to accompany the Polyurethane case.
A nice backdrop to the subtle Shades logo on the back of the case adds a portrait-esque feel which is incredibly endearing to say the least.

Offering some class along with eye-appeal is certainly a benefit for the consumer!

The Company

ECO-FRIENDLY
Colorado-based Shades certainly is a business model for companies nowadays. The reason, corporate responsibility which seems to have lost meaning.

Everything about Shades is directed toward going “green.” CEO Ryan Ferreira has incorporated environmental-friendly strategies with overall business.
Recyclable Materials

  • Shade (case)
  • Packaging
  • Instructions/Manual
  • Environment Info (Card)

As seen above and to the right, packaging is minimal. On arrival, the cases came in via envelope with just small plastic bags perfect for reuse concerning storage for the cases or any other purpose whether it be a container for gifts or other events. All information and other documentation was stored inside of the case and quite easy to remove.

By following this “Less is Best” strategy, Ferreira is being both cost-effective and eco-friendly while at the same time being helpful to that who purchased (No need to fool with boxing and all this which is destined for the trash).
Shades is not only providing a quality case, but they are also achieving a greater goal, strive to preserve our planet and change it for the better.
(We can only hope other companies follow such an example)

This sort of consideration is unique and astounding. Certainly a reason to be applauded.

Overview

  • Durable Case - Made of the Innovative and Versatile Polyurethane
  • Screen Protector Built-In
  • Accessible Ports (Access to USB Slot and Headphone Jack)
  • Fairly Easy Application/Removal
  • Available in Various Colors/Textured-Appearance - Elegant/Class at its Best
  • Eco-Friendly
  • Affordable - $16.95

Bottom-Line: Shades offer quite a bit to the table and so much more.

From extensive accessibility to thorough protection, Shades is certainly a case at the top of its kind. Innovative material, Polyurethane, allows a long-lasting, resilient case to various elements preserving your investment.

Add to that an incredibly simple design, and we have ourselves a product worth every penny spent!

Finally, take into the account corporate responsibility of the CEO and Shades’s comittment to bettering our planet. This gives perfect basis to invest in a worthy company offering a quality product at quite the low price, $16.95.

Notes

I would like to thank Shades, specifically CEO Ryan Feirreira, for their generosity and understanding. These days such kindness has become somewhat of a spectacle and it certainly is refreshing to see such behavior in a company such as this.

  51. Rich says:

    In the anticipation of my soon to arrive ipod touch, i have spent the last few days researching ipod touch cases to find the best overall for protection and practicality. My three main concerns for protection were,
    1. How will it fare it is dropped (oooh scary)
    2. How does it fare against water (OH NO RAIN)
    3. SCREEN PROTECTION
    So as a result I have come to the conclusion that most cases are way too expensive, and don’t seen to cover all the bases for me to be comfortable to use it without worry.
    In the end of researching cases and after reading this review, I have come to two choices, this one, and the armor 3600. I feel like I will probably choose this, 1. because of the at least somewhat water resistance that most cases dont have, enough to keep out the rain, SCREEN protection, and If I drop it it probably wont shatter into a thousand pieces.
    Now I would have gone with the armor 3600 for the most optimal protection, but I have come to realize that the armor 3600 although nearly completely indestructible, probably would make it too heavy and definetly wouldn’t fit in my pocket. Anyways, It cost way too much.
    So Shade yes, Armor 3600 NO,
    Thanks for this review in aiding me with my decision.

    Seeing this review makes me think that these are extremely durable, and at only 0.4mm, would they fit into another case? Say a pouch case or a flip case?
    Anyways overall great review, hoping to grab one, going to be telling a few of my friends about these cases and good luck.

    Interesting - very few cases have screen protectors, and those that do tend to be bulky and a bit “executive”-looking. So this definitely seems worth a look. However, it would have been good to have had some assessment of how the screen protector affected touch sensitivity, something that has been an issue with some.

    That looks to be the absolute BEST skin available for the iTouch. Unbelievably thin and perfectly molded to the contours of the iTouch. And check out those colors! Cool Blue is my personal fav. The purple is wicked, also.

    I took a look at the site. Looks to be a nice solution for protection and aesthetics. These guys are so kewl for sending them over to you for free. I will be sure to give my own impressions in the forums if I receive one. I currently have the Griffon iClear and I am not perfectly happy with it mostly due to plastic not being flush at the bottom of the unit.

    If selected I would like one for the iPod Touch 2g. If color preference is available I would like a blue one, either shade.

    Does it tint the screen’s picture?

  270. Nathan Anderson says:

    Review was pretty good, although it would have been nice to see some better pictures that compared what an iPod would look like in one of these side-by-side with an iPod in one of the other transparent hard-plastic cases out there AND also side-by-side with an iPod wrapped in a skin. That way we could get an idea of how much ‘better’ it is than a standard case (in terms of thin-ness and not obstructing the basic design of the iPod), as well as determine if its added thickness and so on is worth the tradeoff vis-a-vis your standard skin simply to get something that is easier to apply/install.

    I generally go for skins instead of full-body cases because I like the way that the iPod/iPhone looks ‘naked’ (and the skin’s complete transparency respects that), I don’t like the extra bulk, and I don’t like the susceptibility to dust and dirt getting caught in the case and scuffing up the device. But perhaps this new “Shade” category might win me over, as long as the compromises in the direction of a full-body case aren’t too severe. A review concentrating on these aspects of comparison would be most welcome. :-)

    Anyway,

    x6blues: Well, first off the review was focused on the Shade independently. The whole point of the donation was me offering a service, mutually beneficial, to Shades Inc.
    I’ll be doing other reviews, but there are only a handful of generous companies. I’m sort of stuck in that department because I by no means can afford all those different type of cases to review.

    Sorry for the late reply, others approve comments, so they’re easily missed.

    Wow those look so nice. I get so irritated with those hairline scratches and the smudges on the mirrored chrome. You don’t see many plastic cases either, which is surprising. Usually they’re metal, leather, or that rubber (which I guess actually is some type of plastic). In any case, this seems to be a fantastic solution to protecting an iPod.

    Hey guys, now just quickly to the publishers on HTIT, isn’t it so pathetic that everyone comments when you do a giveaway, and yet you receive 2-3 comments on a normal review? People who post only once for a giveaway or something sicken me to the bone

    Also I am not entering the giveaway. Keep up the reviews guys, except the pic quality is terrible, get good lighting and turn off flash, pics will look much better.

    Another thing, what about the watermark effect, Would you get something like that with this case?

    x6blues: Advertising, but whatever draws in the people.

    Anyways for the pictures, I lack any experience and am amateurish (as mentioned) but I’ll take it in mind. Pics were more for effect and informative reasons.

    Watermark? If you mean a track mark, there may be some on first application (varied), but the information listed acknowledges this and it goes away soon, quick wipe. Didn’t happen to me though so I neglected it in the review. Another minor issue.

    As for actual water :P, case has you covered. (I learned that via experience xD)

    This has to be absolutely by far the best Ipod Touch case ive seen so far.
    I only bought my Touch 2g 3 days ago and I haven’t been able to find a case I liked yet…. until now!
    The added feature of having the screen protector built in as well as being able to dock the ipod without removing anything is brilliant!
    I also support the fact that they are trying to limit the amount of packaging, All companies should follow suit.
    Thanks for reading :)

    I bought an ipod touch in December, 2007, and still now I don’t have a case for it. It really needs a case because it scratches easily. This review motivated me on buying one or even winning in the contest. It explains very well all the features of the case, very good review.

    Hmm… The case I have is annoying and it make it feel heavy… I like the fact it covers the screen…. Does it reduce its sensitivity though? I have teen some cases that are horrible because they reduce the touch screen functionality, however, I like how these cases are eco friendly. I think a video how-to video showing the case go on and showcasing it’s features would have been nice
