Incase CL56235 Slim Sleeve for iPod Nano 5G, Black

 (3 customer reviews)

I'll get this out of the way early: Don't Buy This Case.

We bought one of these for my son's iPod Nano 5g and immediately returned it. It took me several minutes to try and jam the iPod all the way up into the case, during which time I was afraid we were going to break the iPod with so much finger pressure. Once it was finally in, I refused to jam it in the last 1/16 of an inch to try and align the camera hole up so it wouldn't be covered up. Also, the back of the case is a thin, fabric type material that is stitched to the front of the case, making me question it's strength and longevity.

Once I managed to squeeze the iPod back out of the case, we returned it and ended up getting one of the transparent snap-on cases that InCase sells, at the same price. These are much easier to use and show off the body color of the iPod.

InCase is a good company, and I have an iPhone case made by them that I am very happy with, but they should rethink this design.

The case was a little difficult to get it into, but it was not impossible. With a little bit of time, you'll be able to get the case on the nano just fine. I actually think that a tight fit is better because I don't want my ipod slipping out of the bottom of the case. With the case on, it does a good job protecting the nano. There is a shield to cover the screen and the only openings are on the bottom, the click wheel, and the hold switch. The hold switch is a little hard to get in there with the case on, but for me the use of my fingernail does a good job. Other than that, it does a really nice job and looks nice on the ipod. Would recommend to anyone who wants good protection for their ipod and who has a decent size fingernail lol.

Simply put you need a hammer to get your nano into this case and the jaws of life to remove it. There is no way without damaging your nano to get this case to fit correct. I had to cut the case to get my nano out of it. Stay away.
