As other reviews have pointed it out already, the case was half transparent as I thought from the photograph it would be a bold plastic covering up all the back side.
However this wasn't much of a problem. Everyone who saw my case was giving me compliments for it:)
I have been using this for around a year but it's great and leaves the thin size of the ipod as original.
But make sure it has your size! I think it will work for 2G and 3G.
