For those independent companies and individuals looking to make cases for Apple’s latest iPods, the company has now posted dimensional drawings for the newly announced second-generation iPod nano and second-generation iPod shuffle. Apple says that the dimensional drawings “will provide you with all of the measurements you need to get started.” Technical information for hardware developers is available only from Apple via its “Made for iPod” program.
