I have two problem with this item . 1 . I can not use it with my ipod without take the case off first - the connector be too wide to fit through the opening -lrb- I have a iFrogz case -rrb- . 2 . the item be not a Belkin product . I throw away the packaging and I can not remember who make it now , but I do not see anything on it that say it be make by Belkin . other than that , it seem fine - just not exactly what I need . for a little more money , I end up buy the Griffin splitter -lrb- see link -rrb- . it have individual volume control which be nice and it come with a adapter that I can use with any headset without remove the case from my ipod video .
