iPod Nano Cases

There are many cases on the market for the nano, but im having diffuculty finding one that protects the screen. If you want to protect your nano from scratches, you can just use clean plastic (like the casing that holds the iTunes CD that your Nano came with...), BUT, this will protect the click wheel too, so it wont get damaged or look ugly with discoloration. BUT, this wont protect your screen from cracks! This has happened to my Nano TWICE, I want a case that will (1)protect the clickwheel with a thin layer of plastic (or i could just make one and put it under the case), (2)protect the screen with glass or plastic so it wont crack, and (3) be made of like silicon or something to protect it from shock. If a company were to follow these 3 requirements, it would have the best case ever, yet, they seem to only decide to complete one or two of the requirements.

I'm also looking for a case for the nano. Check out the cases at XtremeMac. (http://www.xtrememac.com/cases/index.shtml). Their MicroGlove offers both screen and ClickWheel protection and is made of neoprene. I also like their TuffWrap. It says it has an impact resistant screen protector, its made of silicone, but no ClickWheel protector.

i recommend the isee nano...it doesn't have any weird indentions in the plastic, it lets you look at your nano without silicon on it, and it covers the screen...

Well, its not made of Silicon, and its not cheap, but I think you should look at the vaja case none the less, it protects the click wheel and screen and its the best looking case I've ever seen.

My choice of cases is going to be a little biased because of the fantastic results I have had with my 4th gen ipod. The case I use for ipod nano is the iskin duo.

Pros:

- Amazing protection from 2 covers (ala the word duo) that covers the screen and the ipod click wheel.

- Material used for the cover is the same that is used with all of their other covers. (my 4th gen eVo2 has never given me problems and is durable).

- Glows in the dark =P (yeah not really a pro, but still cool none the less).

- Makes the nano better to grip with the cover. (the ipod nano has always been too small for my hands, but thankfully with the 1cm worth of covering, and the sure grip edges on the sides).

Cons:

- Kind of crappy color selections compared to eVo2 line up (I choose the carbon / orange one and love it).

- Pricey, pricey and more pricey $$$ (30 dollars for a case + shipping can all add up in the end)

- it seems like my headphone port is going fall out anytime soon when I have them connected.

The ipod lounge highly reccemends it and has given it a great review for the product.

if you are interested in purchasing one, heres their site:

If you don't mind the color selections, get this case for your nano. I will trust no other company then iskin when it comes to protecting my new ipods.
