Choosing iPod nano Holders: Quick Tips

By: Lydia Vaughn

Trying to decide which of the iPod nano holders are right for you? This article will help you figure out what holder (or holders) you really need.

Deciding on an iPod nano holder can be more challenging than you think. You'll find different cases for different purposes, and in different styles.

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?

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:

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.

If you do a solid workout, you'll want to get a sweat-resistant armband. (You don't want your nano getting wet.) I have a neoprene armband with a plastic film front cover and a cord keeper. Armbands do have a downside, as it can be hard to see the display if you want to change the playlist.

If you don't like armbands, make sure your holder has a slip-proof cover. I like a silicone iPod nano exterior, especially one that's thick enough to progect against bumps and drops.

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.

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 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.

Fashion options:

While a lot of iPod nano owners stop at practicality, some of us also look for fashion. We want our nanos to look a little less geeky, or to express a little style. Try for Cloe Dao's high-energy prints or Gilty Couture's metal cases with Swarovski accents. My website has a review of designer nano cases to show you some ideas.

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!
