Nice Case [Posted on 2008-05-12]
The case does what it is supposed to do. It does not add much weight or thickness to the ipod nano. It is easy to put on and take off. I like that you can take the belt clip off or leave it on. I felt like the cover over the click wheel was not going to stay, but so far so good.
Disappointing [Posted on 2008-05-18]
I had purchased this item from an Apple store, on the recommendation of one of the clerks there. It comes in the over-packaging that seems typical of Apple-related products. Once you liberate everything, there are five pieces: a hard, clear plastic front face, two hard, clear plastic rear faces (one for use with the belt clip, the other without), a circular rubbery protector for the click wheel, a belt clip, and a hard plastic disk that (apparently) can be used to plug the holes in the rear face plate that is meant for use with the belt clip. You have two choices: assemble with the smooth back (no belt clip) or use the back with the holes for the clip. Actually, even if you don't plan using the belt clip, you might as well assemble it that way, as it's very difficult to get the two halves apart once you snap them together. Also, the flexible dock port protector is only attached to the belt clip face. The assembly instructions are mostly about how to insert the click wheel protector, and they get that part wrong (insert the protector with the larger ridge facing outward, not inward). Assembly is actually straightforward once you sort out where all the pieces go: 1) insert the click wheel protector from the inside (ridge facing out), 2) snap on the back (with the belt clip holes), and 3) either attach the belt clip or the disk that fills the belt clip holes if you're not using the clip. At this point your iPod is well protected. However in use there are several drawbacks. The dock port protector gets in the way when you plug in the docking connector and pushes up on the connector. Connectors don't like sideways forces and over time this could lead to a failure of the connector. Another problem is they didn't leave enough clearance around the headphone jack. Normal-sized earbud cables seem to be OK, but I had also bought a Griffin SmartShare headphone splitter cable to use with my iPod. But there's not enough clearance around the jack to plug in the splitter cable, which has a larger-sized plug housing. This product's going back.
iSee 3G Nano case [Posted on 2008-05-23]
Excellent, slim profile case. Read other reviews about how to open it as it is not self evident at first. My third party earphones click in fully--something other cases didn't allow. Like that the back clip can be detached. Protection over click wheel works well. Protection over the charger access port stays attached so you don't lose it. It can be a little hard to reach the hold button, but easy if you have long fingernails. But this seems in part to be an issue with the 3G Nano's smaller button. But I have managed with short fingernails--so it takes me an extra second to search it out. Worth it for the rest of the features this case provides.
I love it [Posted on 2008-05-30]
I have my Nano 3G attached to my car stereo and wanted something to protect it from get moving about in the glove box. This is perfect. The opening in the bottom means it plugs conveniently to the stereo. I like it so much that I've also purchased the 2G version.
Contour Design iPod Nano Case [Posted on 2008-06-05]
I purchased this case shortly after buying my Nano. It is a very good case. It protects the Nano from scratches and it even protected it when I accidentally dropped my new Nano from about a 3 ft. drop. Overall, good product. The only issue I have with it is that the scroll wheel protector makes it harder to navigate through the menus or control volume.
