Leaked like a sieve!
I decided to start swimming for exercise. I wanted to have music with me so I purchased one of these Otterbox Waterproof cases for my iPod Nano 2G. When I got the item, I tested it as was recommended to me. It worked just fine without the iPod in it and only a folded Kleenex. So I took it swimming with my iPod attached and closed up in it. I hadn't swam for 5 minutes when I noticed water inside the case. As much water as was inside the case, I may as well have just been using my iPod without a case. And just for the record, I wasn't swimming deep, but just on the surface, so it wasn't a pressure issue. I took my iPod home and was able to dry it out. It worked again after a few days of drying. Thank goodness!
There were two problems with the Otterbox. One was that it seemed like I had to force my iPod into it. And this one was made for my type of iPod! But it sure didn't seem like it. Of course, the second was that it leaked very badly. I would have preferred to not give any stars at all, but they require at least one star.
I couldn't recommend this product to anyone who doesn't want a ruined iPod. I was so lucky that my iPod has survived. Well, it's survived so far. I'm not sure if it will keep working after the water got into it's works. It may eventually die a slow death.
