I am generally very pleased with this product. The case arrived very fast and fits my ipod very snugly. I have no problem opening it but closing it was a little tricky until I got the knack. All controls are accessible and the screen is also protected. As mentioned in someone else's comments, it doesn't add bulk at all. The only reason I have given it 4 instead of 5 stars is that I personally found the edges and corners to be rather sharp which made the product feel uncomfortable in the hand. However, this was quickly resolved by polishing off the sharp bits with a soft cloth and a little Brasso. I gave feed back on this to Easyi and they took my comments on board with a very prompt reply so I am impressed with their customer care service. I would not hesitate to buy from this company again. Actually, I would also recommend their lovely, incredibly soft, little Black Pouch to keep the whole thing in when not in use. This not only double protects the ipod (after all, the crystal case could also eventually scratch) but also has enough space to tuck in the earphones thus keeping everything together.

In the very simple packing (don't expect anything fancy) comes a hard plastic case a grey sock, a lanyard and 5 clear plastic stickers. No instructions. The stickers are unnecessary so don't use them as they will just mess up the back of your iPod. Gently prise open the plastic case, it splits into two, place the nano inside and clip it back together. I'f your going to use the lanyard loop it in before putting the iPod in.

The Case gives unprotected access to the headphone jack and USB connector, as well as the on slider switch, the click wheel and the camera and mic, but recesses them giving them considerable protection. The case does not obscure camera or mic and doesn't impede the click wheel, headphone jack or USB port. It will prevent you using using virtually any speaker set where you plug in the Nano directly. If your in a wet environment don't use this as I'd imagine water will just get trapped between the case and Nano, I'd suggest a tight fitting silicon skin for damp environs. One tiny gripe, the case slips out of the sock incredibly easily and a small tab of Velcro on the top would of enabled you to close the sock.

PROS - Great value for money, surprisingly well built sturdy
NEGATIVES - Doesn't seal click wheel, switch, or ports and no instructions on how to fit it

I wanted a case to show of the ipod I chose,the 5g crystal case is exactly right, it fits perfectly,easy to put on and take off,absolutly clear and excelent value.
The free sock is well made and a welcome adition I didn't think I would use but I am.

Nice clear case that stops my Nano getting scratched. Also comes with a sock cover for extra protection. Well worth the money.

This is my first iPod & I wanted to protect it from damage in my handbag. The clear case is excellent as it will not only protect the iPod from scratches, it will give extra protection if accidently dropped.The price was excellent & the free sock is an added bonus.
