Customer Reviews
Excellent protection, snug fit, and well worth the money!
This Gear4 Leather Jacket was bought for my new 2nd Generation iPod Nano (aluminium). Although Gear4 states it will fit both the earlier nano model and the new 2nd gen models, this case looks and feels precision made for the 2nd gen model (I cannot comment on how 1st gen models fit into it).
The quality of the case is excellent...as is the leather, which is soft to the touch, but 'hard' enough to protect your nano.
When buying cases for iPod's, there is nothing worse than having a slightly irregualr fit, where the screen could be sligtly obscured at the edges or access to the headphone socket being half hidden. I am pleased to report that this case fits my nano perfectly. And I mean absolutely snug with a clear view of the screen and click wheel.
Also, there is clear access to the headphone socket and the hold switch too. The only thing that some may find slightly annoying is that you have to remove the nano from the jacket to charge it up/transfer music as the port at the bottom is obscured when in the case. However, for the mere few seconds it takes you to remove it from the case, only severe anal retentives will find this a problem :)
There is a handy removeable belt clip on the rear of the case, and a securely attached steel half ring to attach the free Gear4 neck lanyard to, that also comes free with the case.
The front flap secures by looping the tab underneath where it easily attaches via a magnetic press stud on the back. There is no pressure required to close the stud, with it being magnetic, it just 'draws' it into the hole and fastens very securely.
I am very pleased with my purcahse and I think this case; being made from good quality leather, with an excellent design and a snug and secure fit for your ipod nano (2nd gen), represents truly excellent value for money, especially after trying other, similar priced, but alas sub-standard cases and sleeves.
Excellent, just need a longer strap on the lanyard
Basically the first reviewer has got it right. A very nice fit, well made and quality leather which smells and feels good. The only downside I can find is that the lanyard strap is too short(the lanyard is included in the price rather than being free, though it amounts to the same thing I suppose), when using it, and trying to operate the controls, the ipod needs to be just a bit further from your chin. Luckily I already had a longer one and so used that one.
