Congratulations on your new iPod nano! You’re going to enjoy it. There’s a couple accessories you’l want though, and the first is usually an iPod nano holder. Here’s some tips to help you get started.
Choosing an iPod nano holder can be more complicated than you might expect. There’s a huge variety of cases out there, for different purposes, and in different styles.
At the low-price range you’ll find silocone film coverings, faux leather flip cases, and all sorts of plastic belt clips. Beyond that you’ll see workout holders, fashion beauties, and wind/weather protectors.
How do you want to use your iPod nano?
Close your eyes and imaging for a minute. See yourself using your iPod. Are you working out? Listening while you commute to work? Will you need to protect it from the weather? Are you a klutz (like me) and worried about dropping your nano?
Now that you’ve thought about it, you probably realize you need a couple different holders. For example, I use a leather and snakeskin holder during my commutes and have a Belkin neoprene armband for my workouts.
While You Exercise:
When working out you need to protect it from drops, bumps, and bangs. You’ll want easy access to the iPod nano without it getting in the way. Most exercisers use an armband.
A hard workout usually means getting a sweat-resistant armband. (You don’t want the moisture to ruin your nano.) My neoprene armband also has a cord keeper. The downside of using armbands is trying to see the display if you need to adjust anything.
If you’d prefer to carry your iPod nano when working out you’ll want a slip-proof cover. I suggest a silicone cover thick enough to also provide a little shock absorption if (or is it when?) you drop it.
Commuting to Work
Some professions require a conservative, professional image. If a put-together appearance is critical you’ll want a leather iPod nano cover. You can get them in wallet-fold or flip-top styles. They’ll project the image you need. Consider a leather case that has a lining to protect your nano from scratches.
If a conservative image doesn’t matter, I’m jealous. Read the next paragraphs to decide what level of practicality or style is right for you.
Common-Sense Features:
Decide if you need a belt clip (or want to clip the nano to your purse or pocket). If you’ll be outside much you’ll want weather protection - perhaps waterproof.
If your iPod nano will be rattling around in a briefcase or purse, or if it’s likely to get bumped or dropped often, be careful. You’ll want to get a hard-sided case to protect your nano.
Going for style:
Most nano owners are more worried about practical stuff. Some of us like to look good with the nano as well. You can get designer cases, cases with Swarovski crystal accents, even cases made with high-energy prints. My website has a review of designer iPod nano holders to give you some ideas.
Ready to get your nano case now? Go forth and buy? If you’d like to look around a bit more stop by my website for some ideas. Regardless of where you buy, enjoy your new iPod 3g nano.
