$13 for a piece of plastic that probably costs about $.13 to produce is pretty ridiculous. It lacks a screen protector which would really only cost them about $.16 to produce. The case stretches at the screen opening as well, leaving a line of silver showing. I can't really toss this in my purse either, because the silicon is very flexible and could be slipped off the corners. The only reason it is tolerable, though, is due to the lack of cases available.

I don't like the feel of the entire item. But the worst part of the whole item is the part covering the wheel. It makes turning the wheel almost impossible. After about three weeks of daily use of it, I finally gave up on it and removed it. I'm now using my ipod without a cover, and although it scrolls very quickly, at least it moves! With this silicone case on, it took A LOT of pressure to get the thing to move, and often the pressure would turn the ipod off!

IT fits ok, and it comes with an average screen pretector (I purchased the Invisible Shield so I didnt use it). It provides good protection against normal usage such as scratches etc, but it will not protect it against hard hits such as dropping the ipod etc.

I think it could fit a little bit tighter and close the lower opening more to avoiddust to still get in.

It is still a good product that does not make your ipod nano 3G a lot bigger than its regualr size like other bigger cases such as the Iskins, which I also own but dont particularly am fond of as, again, it completely erases the benefit that comes with this ipod which is the small size.

I recommend it!

It's that wonderful material that is smooth but has grip. It was easy to slip in the third gen. ipod in. I expected the sleeve to have that clear screen protector that usually come with these things, but it didn't. So I had to spend more money to get the screen protectors for my pod. It attracts dust to it like how pet hair gets on you, on your food.. heck everything. Other than those nuisances, it's quite good.

This cover does exactly what it is supposed to do. No complaints, but this isn't the type of thing you need to rave about either.
