How to Find Designer iPod nano Cases 
By: Lydia Vaughn
If you're like me, you carry your nano with you most of the day and want a hold that reflects you, your style. On the other hand, if you're only going to use your 3G nano in an armband at the gym, stop reading now.
The rest of us worry about getting our nano wet, or banged up, or just plain feeling overly geeky walking to school or work. There has to be a better way to carry it around, preferably with a little style.
Until recently I'd never thought of it as a fashion statement. Two weeks ago I saw my friend's leather flip case and had an 'aha' moment. Time to search for options.
Decent Starters:
For a quick and inexpensive dress-up, look for a fake (faux) leather flip case. They come in a lot of colors and will protect your nano from scratches.
The Kroo Manhattan case is a step up. Yes, it's still faux leather, but the red topstitching adds a nice accent to distinguish it from the crowd. I wanted real leather or I might have bought it.
Next step up: The Cloe Dao. The skull and crossbones version wasn't quite the image I wanted for my iPod nano- though maybe it'd be perfect for a young guy. The pinstripe colored one actually looked pretty cool for weekends-I may still go back and buy it. I was looking for something a little more reserved for work.
The Next Step Up:
The Sena Pullino case may not get you gasps of "style envy" but you'll never be embarassed by it either. This nano case is a clean design, made with European leather, and has a velvet lining to prevent scratching.
Pacific Designs and Marware have some good options in this price range too. They both target the multi-purpose case market and make a good product. Again, nothing to get noticed, but will do the job. (Actually, Marware does have a leather flipcase that's pretty nice if you want something along the "simple but not ostentatious" lines.)
Fashionista:
For an evening look try the Gilty Cotoure 3G nano case. The Swarovski Crystal accents pair with a silver- or gold-plating case. The crystals accents frame the screen and control wheel for an effect that's suprisingly tasteful. This case runs just slightly less than the cost of an 8GB nano. But then, you weren't concerned about that anyway were you?
My favorite for the work week is the Difusi case with snakeskin and napa leather. I also like the magnetic clasp. Also a plus: the price is around $40.
If you own the old style (2G) nano, you have some great choices by Coach, Dior, and Prada to review. I was hoping for a Coach case for my new 3G nano, but they don't seem to have one yet. I'll look again around Christmas.
I ended up with the difusi 3G nano holder and I love it. Maybe this Christmas I'll look again for a high-end brand that fits the 3G.
You have a lot of options for finding your own special 3G iPod nano designer case. Enjoy, and express your own style.
