Case-Mate Vroom Case for iPod nano 4G + iPod touch 2G

Based on the same concept as prior cases from Case-Mate, iFrogz, and BES, Case-Mate's latest Vroom Cases ($15) have been resized to fit the iPod nano 4G and iPod touch 2G. They're all black, and look like tire treads, particularly on their back surfaces; screen and control protectors are included to keep the iPods' glass safe inside. Though they're certainly niche cases due to their designs, their prices are exceptional given the very considerable coverage they provide; both leave only small parts of the iPods' bottoms exposed, and then only to provide compatibility with Universal Docks and headphone accessories. Both versions are highly recommended.
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.
