Pros: PDA-style flip cases with a convenient magnetic latch. Easy to find at local stores. Cases fit well and feel well-made, constructed of a convincing faux-leather polyurethane material.

Cons: Small holes for Dock Connector (5G/nano) and headphone (nano only) ports make usage with non-Apple accessories difficult. Belt loop doesn’t rotate and is nonremovable. iPods’ top corners are exposed at all times.

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.
