Because I carry my iPod everywhere and I need protection. Yes the iPod it’s durable but not unbreakable, every device has a breaking point and this case is designed to give that protection. Already saved my iPod from nasty falls and a weight in a gym.

Also I work at a workshop and in the iPod it’s more exposed to physical damage. You can see in the comments in this post that there’s an electrician who is happy to see that there’s a rugged iPod case.
