Making affordable accessories for a wide range of devices is JavoEdge. In the past we have been very pleased with the quality of their products and today we are going to take a look at their main case offering for the iPod Touch, the AlloyVision which is available in black and silver.

Design 810

The AlloyVision is a fairly simple cases consisting of a metal back in either gloss black or silver, a clear plastic front, and a clear plastic belt clip/kick stand. JavoEdge was also nice enough to include a hand/neck strap which for some could come in handy. The back has a circular cutout so the Apple logo can show through and the case has cutouts on the bottom and and open top to allow access to all functions of the iPod.

Build Quality 10/10

For a case this cheap, I was very impressed with the build quality. The case is very solid and nicely put together. Looking at the finish on the metal I was very impressed as well and it was even and clean, not always something you see in a $10.95 case!

Usage 8/10

Inserting the iPod Touch in the AlloyVision is fairly simple as it just slides in. Inside there is a protective layer of foam to prevent scratching and the fit is tight and secure. It is a bit difficult to remove the iPod from the case though since it is such a good fit, not a huge issue though for most as you should not need to remove it from the case very often!

As a party trick the AlloyVision has a multi-position kick stand that serves as a belt clip when totally folded in. As a belt clip it is a bit flimsy, but as a kick stand it is awesome. You can adjust the positioning of it to get the right angle and it even works in the horizontal orientation although you loose the angle adjustment.

The biggest let down in usage is the belt clip if you need to use it as a belt clip. It does not have a lot of locking fore and thus tends to kick out and not stay put.

Price 10/10

Price wise the AlloyVision is a great value, at only $10.95 it is very affordable priced for a great case.

Overall I was very impressed with the AlloyVision. A great case for the money and if you are looking for something affordable with a nice look and build quality, this is the case for you!

Pros:

• Cheap Price
• Good build quality
• Kickstand feature

Cons:

• Removing the iPod from the case is a bit difficult
• Poor belt clip
• Gloss back collect fingerprints like no other!

Thanks to JavoEdge for the review sample!
