iPod nano 5G case - Barely There
The Barely There iPod Nano cases are just perfect for people who want to enjoy the sleek design of the 5th Generation iPod Nano without exposing it to scratches and scrapes. Despite the fact that these cases reveal a lot of the iPod, they provide very good protection, because they cover the most exposed parts of the device: the back side and the edges.
Barely There iPod Nano cases features:
- Slim profile, covering only the back of the iPod
- Easy to snap on and to remove
- High quality, flexible plastic material shell with excellent impact resistance
- Aluminum-like finish in various colors
- Free access to all ports and commands on the iPod
- Suitable only for the 5th Generation iPod Nano

iPod Nano 5G Naked Case
With this iPod nano case you don’t need to sacrifice the beauty of your device in favor of protection. The Naked Case is one of the finest touch-through cases for iPod nano. “Touch-through” means that it covers the screen without interfering with the normal use of the iPod. This is possible thanks to the electrostatic membrane that protects the screen while enabling touch contact to work seamlessly. Should you be willing to buy this case for your iPod nano, please keep in mind that that it was not designed to be used together with a screen protector, so you won’t have to spend additional money for that.
iPod Nano 5G Naked Case Features
- Perfect screen protection, thanks to the electrostatic touch-through membrane
- The case is made from tough polycarbonate, resulting in excellent protection for the iPod
- Very thin profile, adding almost no bulk at all to the device
- Easy access to all ports and controls, thanks to precision cutouts in the case
- Easy to put on and to remove, thanks to the “click-snap” clasp
- Rounded edges, gentle to your pockets
This Naked Case fits only iPods from the 5th Generation. You can get yours for only $14.99 from Case-Mate.
Well I think I just found the coolest 5th generation iPod nano case, The Kickster from Quirky. This brilliant design is a case, stand and cord tidier in one.
The Kickster design was crowed-sourced from the Quirky community over a 24 hour period. As soon as Apple announced the fifth generation iPod Nano the people at Quirky went to work on a case to keep all iPod fans happy. An interestign thing about Quirky, if you didn;t know, is that all the cool things on their ebsite are designed by the Quirky community – anyone can register free and get involved. If you want to influence a design – suggest modifications or improvements, brainstorm product names, etc, then you can earn yourself a percentage of the profits of that product. Pretty neat system.
Here are some awesome bigger shots:
And a detail shot of the iPod cord/headphone wrapping and tidying functionality:
So the Kickster incorporates the following features:
- A Hard plastic exterior.
- Full body and depressed screen protection so your screen can avoid surfaces and scratches.
- Integrated shock-absorbent silicone pad and cord wrap.
- Integrated swivel kickstand, which allows you to position your nano vertically or horizontally. Also functions as a hand-steadying grip for shooting video.
- Cut-outs for access to ports, buttons, microphone, and camera; you don’t need to remove it from the case to plug it in.
- Two-piece design clip for easy loading andunloading.
You can grab your own Kickster at Quirky for only $14 bucks
I was chatting to some good friends of mine recently who run the number one site on iPad Accessories, and we got to talking about what accessories and cases were available for iPads that might also be available for the iPod Nano. I asked if they had any recommendations. Well they had some very cool suggestions, and my pick for today’s review is an iPod Skin manufacturer called Gelaskins.
Gelaskins make beautiful, protective art skins for the iPod and many other devices. Their range of prints is not your typical mish mash of pretty pics, but a collection of fine and modern artworks that you can use to adorn your iPod. Gelaskins iPod nano skins also serve as a protective layer against scratches and bumps, increasing the life span of your favorite gadget and keeping it looking like new far into the future. Another thing I really like about Gelasins is they come with a wallpaper image for your iPod Nano so that the skin appears seamless even on your screen! What this means is the protective “skin” covers the outside of your Nano – and the image you download is applied as a screen background. Very Cool!
Gelaskins have a huge range of beautiful iPod skins – so what are you waiting for! Check out their full iPod Nano skin range.

Sleek, slim and flexible, the Soft Gloss ipod nano case is one of those protective cases that does not hide the sleek elegance of Apple’s design behind a bulky shape, or cheap materials.
The Soft Gloss case is really stylish, and it’s designed to keep that ‘new’ look for a long time, because it’s made of silicone with a jelly touch finish which repels dust and lint. The silicone feels very much like plastic and it has some flexibility, just enough to be easy to fit on your iPod nano 5G.
The design on the back of the case features the Apple logo surrounded by dots of various sizes, disposed in circles around the well-known apple. The case provides open access to all ports on the iPod, both on top and on bottom. However, if you want to put the iPod into a dock, you’ll have to remove the case, because it doesn’t fit. Yet, it’s not such a big drawback, taking into consideration the other qualities of the case and the very reasonable price. Removing the case and putting it on takes only a few seconds, so it’s still fine, even if you want to use your iPod with your iHome docking station.
The Soft Gloss 5G iPod Nano case is available in only one color: smoke. It is compatible only with the 5th generation of iPod Nano players.
