Which Ipod Nano protective case/skin

Vegeta · 13 Feb 2006 at 08:59

Hi I just had my hands on one of these 2gb versions, i'm going to upgrade to a 4gb soon but these things scratch soo darn easily - if you were to rub them with a tissue it would leave a bloody scratch on what a stupid design!

Anyways because I do actually like the mp3 player apart from the stupidly scratchable case, which protective skin should I get? Ideally I would like a clear one that protects the screen also - but allowing you to use the buttons with the screen on - is there any brands out there that do good ipod cases?

Should I trust the many cheap skins going on the auction site? I bought phone covers from there a while back and they ddint even fit lol.

hey,
i would recommend the exim protector skins from the auction site. i have one and its perfect as i have no scratches at all. i would buy the deluxe version tho,i got the normal one and it didnt come with a back cover

although they seem quite expensive at approx £10 it would be a good investment.

the martin fields ones look quite good, I may get one of those but still keep my ipod in the slip case it came with, either that or one of those 'Agent 18' hard cases.

I'm using an Agent 18 Protector Shield for the 5G Video at the moment, and I'm thoroughly pleased with it. I believe the same is available for the Nano which might be worth a look.

if you want to take a look at the exim one then go on the aucton site and type "exim ipod nano" into the search part.it should show up straight away!make sure its the deluxe version!

Ye i've ordered one, the Agent 18 was really tempting also as it looks really nice but I went for the exim as its cheap, might get a agent 18 one in the future who knows.

Does dust get into the case at all? or is it a really good fit?

just want to remind you to not drop the skin while applying...i made the mistake of doing so and it fell on my carpet and it has loads of dust which i cant get out!!!

my bad really.

I use an iSkin for my iRiver and although it doesn't look that good, it does the job perfectly.

The Radtech cases look good, I've seen someone mention on here that they have one for the 5g ipod and says it's good, does anyone have one for the nano? They actually look nice which can't be said for all of them.

They look as if the protect it all well, without the bulk, but would it fall out with both the top and bottom being open?
