Some guy made a case out of a 15x15cm square of fake leather using a needle and thread. Looked almost professional. )
There's also the iCondom which is a few sheets of clear and sticky plastic paper or something that you slap onto the nano's back and screen. Then there's the "rugged" case which protects very well but adds a lot of size. I'd just surf eBay for a good case, I guess.

Gross. A plastic baggy cut to fit the nano would be better.. Or just a sock?

Cherry gets my vote as well.
I'm holding out for some kind of unique lanyard holder. iPodstreet has the iThong but it's hideous and i'd never be seen wearing that around my neck.
I do like the iskin duo as well. the orange/black combo is interesting.

I haven't checked to see if they have a nano one out yet, but Lajo seems to do iSkin quality cases at better prices.

I saw one on gearlive or engadged that was a nano laynard and ID badge holder. If the ID was easily accessable I'd totally get one of those for use at work. I'll try and find a link but RDP websurfing sucks.
I really like my iSkin on my 40gig and I'd consider getting another one for my nano. I'll have to check out Lajo too.
And you guys can knock the wood all you want. That's so damn unique it hurt me to share it with so many people and then you go and smack me down.

I ordered my Nano case today after an exhaustive search for just the right product.
I decided on the iKeychain. I like the fact that it can be run over by a truck and still survive. I opted for the chrome front and black backed one. I won't use it as a keychain - I've been looking for something to attach to a lanyard that also wouldn't look too dorky.

Would be better without the keyring extension but still pretty nice. Reminds me of the ivault for the shuffle. Only annoying thing is it looks like you have to take it out to connect the usb, but if you don't change your songs often it wouldn't be that bad.
Does it come with any kind of scroll wheel protection?
johnjimjones
26-10-2005 18:06:14
Yeah I'd be all over that if it didn't have the keychain extension.

iSkins Nano Duo case came out today
OUCH $30....... x ?
Probably go with Carbon Blast color dispite the price......WOW $30???

27-10-2005 10:55:43
the truth is that companies could charge upto $50 for a case for an iPod Nano, yet people would still buy them because of the scratching problem.

i'm ordering mine tonight, i want one now, after some research, $30 isnt too bad for a case ?

That's probably the best nano case I've seen by far. And considering that I've had mine for 3 days and already I see many vertical, yet shallow scratches on the front as well as a very deep "U"-shaped scratch on my screen, the Carbon Blast iSkin Duo now seems to be all but necessary. As well as some Ice Creme. |

I just ordered one. They look pretty nice and at least it feels a bit more worth it than the duo for the shuffles (though those look damn cool too).
Still wouldn't mind a cool metal case though but not comfortable with the one ipodjon posted because of the annoying keyring extenstion and the fact it doesn't come with screen and click wheel protection for that price!

Then again.. a combo of the InvisibleShield and iWood would be kinda neat... shrug
Edit And then I saw the price of an iWood... $90.

i would probably get the iskin duo if they made a black-on-black. or if they could make the clear one actually clear haha
what colors are u guys getting for it / what color is ur nano?
johnjimjones
28-10-2005 04:38:44
carbon blast and mine's white,
i'd be all over a clear one but surprisingly they dont make one...
Automag389
28-10-2005 20:18:54
They make the arctic one which has a clear inner skin and a translucent-white outer skin. It probably would distort the black nano's color and make it look awkward, but white would look fine I guess. I'd just go with Carbon Blast, it's a damn cool color combo. If anyone can find a place (online or otherwise) that sells the iWood for maybe half of the retail price, please let me know. That case fascinates me for some reason... shock
Update I've decided to ditch the InvisibleShield and go with the Power Support Crystal Film. Reviews on iLounge say that the InvisibleShield leaves a "shimmer" that's described as coming too close to a crappy plasma TV, and reviews on the Martin Fields skin say that it's a residue magnet. Plus, the PSCF is a tad cheaper.

My iSkin Duo Case for the nano came in, looks great
at the edges of the screen the image is distorted a bit from the screen protector

I received my iKeychain this week as well.
I use it with a lanyard and can't believe how many people stop me to ask where I got it from. I was in bestbuy and half of the employees in the cell/mp3 dept asked where I bought it.
They offer a isheild (plastic) to go over the front so that the screen and clickwheel are protected. I'm just using the wrap that came with the nano underneath the case. Works perfectly.
