i-Blason Battery Case Designed for iPod Touch 7/6/5, 2200mAh Portable Charging Rechargeable Extended Battery Slider Case for iPod Touch 5th/6th/7th Generation, Black

I lent my ipod to someone who then let it stay discharged for a couple months, which effectively killed the battery - no longer held a charge. I got the bright idea to get a battery case to see if that would work. It did! The ipod in question is an older one, 6th generation, and the case fits it exactly. And it works like a charm. I do distance running and listen to music. Earlier, the ipod would only work for maybe 15 minutes before dying. Now, with the battery case, it lasts for a 2.5 hour run and there is plenty of charge left over in the case, so it could go for even longer! The case is also nice as it protects the ipod. The design is also good as it's in two pieces, making it easy to put your ipod in and take it out. Additionally, it is not bulky. This was a much simpler solution than trying to get the battery replaced inside an older ipod. I have already recommended this to others who have a similar problem.

It's a perfect option when you need some extra battery for your iPod when you are outside. Quality feels cheap but it is what it is. Fits perfectly, doesn't feel bulky on your pocket. It fits o a 7th gen iPod. 👍🏼

Update: Found out no data through lightning cable is because you need to press the power button on the case to enable charging/data transfer.It does exactly what I want. It may not be perfect for all. I wanted a case and battery. It is all I care about. I don't see any data communication when connecting lightning cable through the case only unless you press the charging button. Stand is very flimsy and barely usable. Makes the ipod easier to hold. ipod by itself is too thin and slippery. Case gives good thickness and rubbery feel to add protection. Buttons harder to press, but easy enough to use. Only negative thing for me is I use the camera mostly with the ipod and it is harder to wipe the dust off the lens which is fine because it helps protect the lens from being scratched.

my iPod Touch 7th gen battery was pretty bad. It would lose full charge within a day or so without even touching it. Got this to resolve that issue and it works well. The case feels really cheap. Like if you drop it on the ground, it feels like it'll just smash into pieces. The battery part does help out a bit so now it's usable. I only use my iPod Touch as an iPod. I don't get text messages or use Chrome or anything like that. It just plays music.Also, if you have an earplug jack that's not round, oddly shaped or somewhat larger than normal, it won't fit into the 3.5mm hole. Trying to find a good way to get my headphones to work with this case.

Pros-fits well, feels solid and well builtit DOES work with iOS7makes my iPod last for 2 days without recharging- I use it a lot at work.I am personally a fan of the soft rubbery feeling finish.Cons-as stated by other reviewers, the cord where the headphones plugs in is VERY small, going to be very few choices if the little cord that came with it breaks- and it really feels like it will, who knows- maybe it will prove me wrongthe lock and volume buttons are a little harder to push because of the thickness of the case, but not enough that it matters to me, as I don't use them muchOver all I give this case a 4, it is just what I was looking for

I am so thankful that I stumbled on this. As far as I know this is the only product of its kind. It’s so awesome being able to carry this iPod without an external battery attached to it. It’s thin and not bulky. Keeps a charge for hours or days depending on use. I use wireless headphones so I don’t have a problem with the earphone jack like others. But if I want to use wired headphones it come with the extension jack so there’s no problem.I had one minor annoyance happen once. The battery would keep turning itself off while I was playing music after about 2 minutes or so. I took everything apart shut down the iPod for a couple of minutes while I cleaned the connectors with alcohol. Let it dry. Put everything back and powered on. No issues since then.10/10 would buy again!Update 6/21/24 - 8 months of almost daily use. This thing is still going strong. No issues whatsoever. If anything to complain about, you will notice that after fully charging your iPod it will turn itself off after a few minutes (maybe 15, I don’t know, I haven’t timed it). It’s a minor inconvenience to me. Still a worthy purchase.

This is really one of the ONLY charger cases I could find for the ipod touch and lucky for us it's awesome! Our toddlers with special needs have ipod touches and these cases are a life saver--the batteries on the ipods drain so quickly but the i-Blason always saves the day! My daughter has smacked the ipod against the wall more times than I care to remember (out of frustration) and the case REALLY protects the ipod (which is super thin and pretty fragile). She also dropped the ipod in the water the other day...the i-blason stopped working but it saved the phone! I ordered another case but I couldn't believe it the one that had been dropped in the water started working again. We love this case! It's worth every dime!

The "newer" style apple charging ports seem to wear out much faster than the older ones. But with this, you never have to wear out the one on your iPod. Instead, you wear out the port on the case. It takes the same cord, and not only do both the iPod and case charge at the same time, but you can also sync to your pc through the port in the case! So you never have to pull the case off, unlike some other cases I owned in the past, that would not allow iTunes sync through the case itself. This is the best charging case I have owned, will likely buy a second as backup in case they discontinue these.
