Waterproof nano 4/5G case

Thread Starter 
Any suggestions? I do a lot of podcast listening in the bath and, well, one of my Nanos has suffered a watery grave recently. I'm looking to reduce that. Integrated speakers of a level suitable for bath listening would be nice, but ideally battery-operated. Ease of removal for sync is pretty key since I'm going to be doing it at least once a day.


I know some people will chime in with water-resisistant MP3 players, but I'm not giving up playcounts / playback state.

These are all good solutions below, depends on how deep you want to go and how much you want to spend. Personally I waterproof my players with a high quality ziplock and duck tape around the cord exit for canoeing, never had a problem, even when it falls in the water and all the controlls are easy to use through the plastic.

Otterbox seems like the most plausible solution. I guess it depends on how hard it is to put in / take out. As I said, I'll be doing it at least once daily so it's got to be a repeatable, simple system.

Yes the OtterBox looks like a very nice housing, should do the trick and the price isn’t bad. I’m curious if you are going to get waterproof headphones as well? I’d certainly like some feed back on the pair you select and how they sound as I’m not really willing to take the plunge on them yet. The bone conduction headphones certainly look interesting and I’d love to give them a try …
