C6 Manufacturing Carbon Fiber Nano Case

Pros: A simple semi-enclosure consisting of two thin plates of carbon fiber composite material, screwed together around the iPod nano with eight Allen screws and four aluminum posts. A strong detachable aluminum belt clip is included.

Cons: The case leaves exposed a large amount of the iPod’s body, including its sides, top, bottom, and a portion of its back. It is not trivial to install and remove the iPod from the case, and the case is pricey given its simplicity.

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.
