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. 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. When you look for holders you'll find everything from plastic belt clips to workout armbands, to high-end fashion statements. The level of protection from weather and bumping ranges widely as well. Where will you use your nano? Take a minute to think through your day. When do you want your nano? Would you like background music in the house when you're starting your day? Maybe you want music for your workouts. Do you plan to listen to podcasts on the bus (train, plane)? How about when you'r driving? Will you be outside much? Are you (like me) likely to drop the nano and want it protected? 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. While You Exercise: When working out you need to protect it from drops, bumps, and bangs. You'll want easy access to the iPod nano without it getting in the way. Most exercisers use an armband. 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. 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. The Work Day In my consultant days, the details of my appearance mattered (perhaps too much). If you need a conservative, put-together image you should get a leather nano holder. Protect it from scratching by getting a holder with a lining. My favorite is made of nappa leather and has a velvet liner. 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 you travel, have a hectic life, or will be dropping the iPod nano to the bottom of your purse/briefcase/bag you should consider a hard case. You could also get a softer case with reinforced corners to protect the nano. Last but not least, style: 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. Ready to get your nano case now? Go forth and buy? If you'd like to look around a bit more stop by my website for some ideas. Regardless of where you buy, enjoy your new iPod 3g nano.
