If you're looking for the cheapest way to protect your ipod nano from scratches, this is the way to go. It comes with three "stickers" for placing on the screen, back, and wheel (I couldn't get my wheel one to stick.) It also comes with rubbery shell of your color choice. It's simple enough to put everything together, even though it doesn't come with any directions (that made me a little nervous at first.) One problem, though -- within seconds of putting the shell on the ipod, it had attracted a bunch of dust and cat hair -- and this dander stuck to the ipod shell with alarming vigor. Just as I'd get it clean, it'd get dusty again. Now I wish I'd bought a case made out of a different material, because if it got that way just being in my house, how's it going to fare outdoors? But for now, I do have some confidence that my ipod is protected from bumps & bruises, and it was cheap, so I'm happy about that.

Edited on 1/9/08: Since writing this review, the price of the item has doubled. Perhaps it is not the "cheapest" option anymore.

I wasn't sure when I ordered if this would be a headache or wonderful. Some of the reviews praised the product and the seller and others not so much. I got my Ipod cover and accessories quickly, which is good b/c I'm leaving the country in two days, and it was packaged efficiently. I tested out the arm band, which i was especially worried about b/c I like to work out and I always have trouble with head phones moving about messing up the sound or the Ipod shaking and skipping a bit, but it worked great. Some arm bands can be really expensive too, but for what you get it turned out perfect for my needs. It was easy for me to navigate the buttons via the case and it doesn't slip b/c it's silicone. All in all, I am very happy with the item and the seller.

When I read the reviews, I thought that this would come with a protector for the screen, the wheel and the back. However, mine only came with a screen protector and the cover. For the price you are paying, I guess that is good enough. It protects your iPod from scratches and the wheel is still very sensitive through the cover.

What I didn't like was that the cover came with 2 little hooks sticking out from the side. What is that for?

Reading the reviews, it seems as though everyone is receiving a different product. Some say their case came with 3 clear protective stickers, some say only one; some say the silicone case covers the click-wheel, others get a case with an opening for the wheel.
Personally, my case came with one clear sticker for the screen and the silicone covered the click wheel. This last feature was one i particularly wanted because that was the only exposed area on my last iPod, and thus got really scratched up from me throwing it in my purse and whatnot.
Well, it appears I'm going to have to cut the circle of silicon out until I can find a new case, because the clickwheel is not at all sensitive to touch through the case. Completely useless.

This case is great,and it's so cheap! It was exactly what I was looking for. I have found similar products on amazon for twenty times the cost of this one. I was expecting some cheapo case, but it's great! It shipped really fast, and I already bought a second one for my dad.

I love my 4th Gen Nano and needed an armband to go running with it. This product is a great buy. You get a silicone case, armband, screen protector and chargers for less than half the cost of other armbands that I hear fit too tightly. The armband here is adjustable and works flawlessly. The silicone case is perfectly suited for the nano- not intrusive and protects the important areas, (it's not waterproof, but really, where other than Florida does it rain spontaneously.) I highly recommend this product.

I would have to say this is exactly what I look for in an ipod case. Seriously I am buying a piece of technology that is slim and in my opinion beautiful (ipod nano). So when I get a case I dont need some bulky piece of rubber or some god awful clear plastic case that doesnt even let you use the spin wheel technology, goodness that is what the ipod is all about. Anyways this ice version is a nice thin but not too thin rubber slip on case, which also comes with a perfect fitting screen protector sticker and back protector, also a wheel one, which doesnt really stick. Anyways, that is what I bought a case for, protect against scratches, without losing the whole image of the sleek nano.

I ordered this product because it is described as specifically for 4th generation Nano. Apple has changed the technology and old chargers don't work with this version of the Nano. Unfortunately the chargers provided are the old kind so of course they didn't work either.

when i got this, the new ipod had just come out and encase hadn't come out with a holder for this...i had used encase on my 2nd generation nano and it was perfection...so i tried this skin...the screen cover that comes with it was heck to use, and left sticky garbage all over the place...and, surprise, the wheel on this generation nano is very hard if not impossible to use through any type of layer or cover (which is why the encase leaves the wheel uncovered where in my 2nd generation nano they had a plastic film over it that didn't prevent the wheel's use)...so, i had to use an exacto to cut the part of the skin covering the wheel out...

also, this thing doesn't have any way to put this on a belt, or your shorts (like, supriZZZZZZZZZe, the encase does)...so i got a clip that you can attach with removable sticky backing, but the silicone is so slippery it will not take any type of sticky substance to attach a belt clip, so i had to attach the clip to the back of my ipod inside the skin...luckily the removable sticky attachment for the clip really is removable (with some persistence) and didn't damage at all the ipod back...
but save yourself a headache now that encase has fitted a case to the new nano, and don't mess around with these half-a@@ solutions like this one...sure, encase is $29, but on my 2nd generation nano it kept the thing looking new for 3 years, and the encase is so sturdily built iT looks new still (no, i don't work for them!)...but this skin stuff is for the birds, who probably wouldn't like it anyway...
well, just my opinion, but if you are the kind of person who likes a great solution to a need, then forgo this one...if you like cheap and something that will sort of work, with some jiggering, than by all means, get this piece of...silicone

First off, I purchased this mainly for the case, screen protector, and armband. I have chargers galore, therefore the chargers i received were just freebies. The screen protector was applied without any air bubbles or any trouble. Ipod went into case with no problems. I've since used it to work out and run. I had a previous mp3 player with armband and mp3 player kept moving around my arm because the armband was too thin. This armband is thick and prevents movement. Also, the quality of the armband appears top notch, not some "made in china" crap. My only complaint about the case is the hole where the lock button is located. It's real small and a pain in the a$$ to switch the lock button while you are running. I might use a razor to cut the hole bigger. Overall, it's a product I highly recommend.
