4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good protective case, October 1, 2009

The new action jacket by DLO is a pretty good way to protect the new ipod nano 5g. The case has a nice rubberized feel to it, which makes it easier to hold the nano. The case is not heavy at all, it wraps very snugly to the ipod and can be used with or without the armband strap. I decided to use the case without because I find it easier to navigate the menu when the ipod is not strapped to my arm. I just keep it in my pocket when jogging. If you do decide to use the strap, it is a chore to weave it through the backing of the case, and it is not really easy to take off if you want to take it off the strap. Also, this case DOES NOT HAVE A SCREEN PROTECTOR, so you must purchase it separately. Overall I am happy with it. But again, you must purchase a screen protector separately.

I had previously owned a DLO iPod Nano 3G cover and loved it. So I purchased this one on behalf of my thoughts of the previous model. This newer style needs some slight redesign. The bottom velcro flap is off center - as it should be. However it should be to the other side, so that the earphones can plug be easily accessible to the iPod. There is a thin plastic layer that covers the iPod so you must navigate through it instead of directly touching the iPod wheel. Its effective, I just prefer direct contact. I like the swivel clip. I am not sure what the other review refers to about having to attach the strap - you simply can wrap armband around your arm and then clip the jacket onto it. I will keep this item, as it fits my purpose but it's not exactly perfect.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as previous generations, June 23, 2010

I loved my DLO first generation iPod nano case. It fit well, and gave me access to the headphone jack.

I have recently upgraded to a fifth generation nano and was disappointed with what was offered for a case from other brands. I was thrilled to discover Dlo had a case and did not hesitate dropping $30 on it. Now I've had my case for four months and the plastic cover is permanently scratched up. The back clip dented my iPod nano. The back clip in general is bulky, unlike the first generation. And the velcro flap covers the headphone jack. I have to lift up the flap to insert headphones, which is annoying. Not worth $30 and I regret not returning it for a refund.
