Leather 2nd Generation iPod case
(4 out of 5) by Kathy A. Pippig on Jan 31, 2007 (San Joaquin Valley, CA USA)Very nice craftsmanship. The leather is durable, yet appealing to the touch and to the eye. It has a protective clear acrylic shield over the iPod's screen. The click wheel window is not covered with an acrylic shield. There is, however, additional leather protection in the flip cover which would protect the iPod from any accidental activation of the controls on the wheel. The only issue I have with the case is that you must remove the iPod to access the dock connector port.
Perfect for the Non-Exec Too
(4 out of 5) by Sires on Nov 28, 2007 (It's a Toss Up Right Now)I bought this after my experience with a silicon "skin". It matched the leather case I was then using on my Motorola RAZR V3xx Phone (AT&T) which really isn't a good rational reason for choosing a Nano case but worked in this instance.
It protects the Nano from further scratches and bangs and from accidentally being turned on and draining the battery but allows ease of access to the controls. I probably haven't had mine out of the case since I bought it. I don't bother with the ipod charging dock. I plug the cord directly into the iPod for charging.
The only thing that gave me some concern was the magnetic closer on the bottom of the flap which connects to a piece of metal sewn into the body of the case. I was concerned because I couldn't shake the thought that magnets and memory don't mix. However, it's been over a year and half and I have had no trouble.
I'm also laughing at the sexism of dividing the case into the Male Belt Clip and the delicate little wrist strap for Women. The wrist strap is not a good idea. Dangling an iPod around like that in public would be asking to have it snatched and a wrist strap is definitely no good when doing anything athletic.
