Griffin iClear Molded Shell Case for iPod nano 4G (Clear)

 (8 customer reviews)

The plastic cover got scratched very easily and made it difficult to view videos with the shell on. Also, the bottom of the shell is so thick that i can't use some headphones or my car FM transmitter.

Love this thing. There's a million cases just like it all over the place, so I honestly don't see how one plastic case is that much different than another. It fits perfectly and provides no problem plugging in the charger or any sort of earbuds. My only (small) quibble comes with the fact that there is just the smallest bit of space between the player & the case, which I am not used to; My previous Griffin case fit my 2G nano like a glove and there was zero play to it. However, the only way this might ever be a problem is if you are addicted to the "Shake to Shuffle" feature on the new 4G nano; otherwise, it is simply a design quirk.

The concept of this product seems reasonable. The problem comes when trying to use it with an iPod dock. Because of the rigidity of the shell it is difficult (to nearly impossible) to get the iPod to fit on the base. I would recommend getting one of the new form fitting silicone covers. I picked up one of those and have loved it. It also has the added feature of not sliding, when laid down (like in a car).
