Pros: The first commercially available, environmentally-friendly recycled rubber case for an iPod, made both tough and sharp-looking through the use of truck tires as materials. PDA-style design protects the majority of the nano inside. Includes an iPod earbud manager on its front flap. Very reasonable pricing.

Cons: Open sides make the case far less than ideal if you’re going to pocket your iPod with keys or other sharp objects; flip front limits access unless you open the snap. No included or optional ability to wear the case as a necklace or on a belt.

A Note From the Editors of iLounge: Though all products and services reviewed by iLounge are "final," many companies now make changes to their offerings after publication of our reviews, which may or may not be reflected above. This iLounge article provides more information on this practice, known as revving.
