IPod nano silicone case review- pics

So you need a nice case to protect that beautiful nano you bought, but many are on backorder and there aren't many available yet. I did a little searching and came upon a gem of a case for a great price.

I found this case on the ebay store called the gadgetmart, as the case was only 8.99 and shipping 5.99 I figured what the hell, I need a case.

I wish I would have taken some pics of the way the case was packaged, very nice and professional. Service was very good with the gadgetmart and I had the case in my paws in 4 days from California.

Anyways this one of the nicest molded and best fitting slicone cases I have ever seen. The silicone is smooth and quite thick , but not to thick to hide the see through effects of the color. The cutouts and wheel cover are exactly where they should be. You can tell when you remove the little cardboard insert(which looks just like a nano, with santana playing on it) and stretch it over your nano , this is good high grade silicone.

The case comes with 2 different lanyards, and there are 2 holes in the bottom of the case to thread it through. There is even a thin layer of silicone underneath the holes so the back of your nano is compleatly protected- see pic.

The only negative thing I can think of is there was no screen saver included. However I never peeled off the plastic that was on the nano when I bought it, so I just pulled it off up to below the screen and cut it so my clickwheel is exposed and my screen still protected. Blue was the only color available when I ordered mine, but Sarah from the gadgetmart told me more colors are available.

All in all very nice case, and great service!!

Well, I tend to believe (hope) that the broken lcds are a rare occurence. This is my 3rd nano, and the screens on all 3 have been fine, and I kept them in my pockets the whole time- wrapped in saran wrap to protect them from scratches lol.
Time will tell, I know I had 2 zen micros with broken headphone jacks- so knock on wood. Why 3 nanos you ask? The first one was a white 2 gig which is all best buy had. I liked it so much I got a 4 gig black, which I returned so I could get a white 4 gig .

Oh ya , thanks gshan, I forgot to list that. Everyone might not be as secure in their manhood as I am to order "pastel" clear blue, lol (If I knew she had other colors I would have gotten something tougher looking). I believe she has solid black, clear black, yellow, pink, blue, purple, green and clear white.

After using the case all day yesterday in my pockets, I can report that this silicone isn't a dust magnet like the older iskins. The surface is very smooth and not one bit tacky.

I feel so much better that this thing is in a case! I mean the plastic, lucite, polycarb whatever is soft as hell. I already have a little ding on the select button, which I have no idea how it got there

Yes it covers the wheel... but it is really , really thin over that part, and to me the wheel actually works better with the covering over it (mine was almost too sensitive). And since the select button is soft soft plastic , I'm kind of glad the wheel is covered I might order another clear one myself, the pastel blue looks kinda girly - would probably look good over the black though.

Ya flip us some pics! That is cheap shipping- 6 bucks from Hong Kong
