I didn't, but good catch. I never stuck mine on, and the thing popping up bothered me.
They probably wanted to save money by not making loops with new colors. Besides, I'm pretty sure most people would have rather had Apple include everything that this iPod touch has instead of (for example) an A7 chip with the loop.
The loop nub on my IpT5 is broken, and VERY DIFFICULT to get into the open position. I'd be concerned, except I've never used it except the first day just to try it out.
The loop was too thick and the device was too thin. The iPod would have hit the floor with or without it. It wouldn't have looked as elegant, but the typical piece of thick string they give you with cameras, and a better hook would have worked much better.
I wish they also make the dedicated Ipod touch case like they did with the Iphone line. It would probably sell better than the loop. Guess apple still has those abundant in their storage.
That silly "loop" caused more accidents than it prevented, when you accidentally caught it on your thumb as you reach across your desk, and cause it to be flung across the room onto the floor. Good idea in theory, poorly executed, oh - and the price to replace it... what a joke.
I hate it and glad its gone! Now if Speck would just make a updated grip case for it without the stupid loop hole.
