"the Grass and Cloud FunSkins for 5G iPods each represent a slightly better value than their equally-priced iPod nano versions simply by virtue of their greater size"
I think it's unreasonable to make the aforementioned assumption. The larger cases use slightly more Kraton, but the material itself is not valuable. Are all trucks a "better value" than all cars, by virtue of it's size? Can you please stop making this assumption in all of your reviews that compare a 5G case to an earlier Nano predecessor?

It's no secret that companies frequently price their full-size cases higher than their mini or nano counterparts, regardless of what it costs to make them.
The fact that this one does not merits at least the mere half-sentence mention it received.

Um, the cloud skin looks thicker to me though.
Does it offer more protection?
