Best Bets for Finding the Right iPod nano Holders for You

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.

There's a wider variety of nano cases then you might expect, in a variety of stiles. You might find choosing a case more complicated than you planned.

For less than 10 dollars you can get a silicone film covering, a faux leather flip case, and a few plastic belt clips. But that's just the starting point. You can get nano holders for your workouts, for fashion statements, to protect from wind and rain, and more.

Where will you use your 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?

Most people actually need a couple types of holders. I have an armband I wear while working out that I love, but use a different holder the rest of the day.

The Workout:

Exercisers look for how to keep the iPod nano out of the way while still having easy access. We need to protect the nano from the bumps and drops that inevitably happen when exercising.

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.

Maybe you'd rather carry your iPod nano when working out. If so, get a holder with a slip-proof exterior (silicone works wel). Make sure it's thick enough to cushion against bumps and drops.

The Work Day

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.

Is your job less staid and conservative? You can probably use any casual iPod nano cover. (lucky you) Think about whether you're more interested in practical features or in something stylish, and read from the next paragraphs.

Being Practical:

Decide if practicality is important to you. You may need a belt clip to help you keep track of the nano. You might also want protection against wind and rain if you're outside a lot.

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.

Fashion options:

If you want your iPod nano to show a little style, you have some good options. See the review of designer nano cases on my website for designers like Cloe Dao, Difusi, and Gilty Couture.

I hope you have a better idea now of what you need in an iPod nano case. If not, feel free to stop by my website for a few more ideas. Enjoy your new iPod 3g nano!
