$25 for this cheap case?
iLounge has a fetish for overprice accessories.

IMHO…
cases must
1) protect the iPod as much as possible (rubber/silicone)
2) not add extraneous weight to the iPod
3) fit, or at least be modifiable to fit, accessories (such as HomeDock or TransPod) - i.e. bottom connector opening must be large
4) have a removable belt clip

Looks like a deformed product…I think manufactures are desperate for coming out with something new and innovative style anymore. This is getting out of hand I think…Sorry!!!

I actually bought one of their nano cases last week and am pretty happy with them. The colors are vibrant, it fits like a glove without adding bulk and so far it seems like it’ll do a great job of protecting it.

I bought one and I like the touch and feel of this case. Click wheel cover is part of the case.
Pros- A very thin case, stylish, easy access to bottom connector.
Cons- No neck strap
