I was skeptical when I ordered this case. I had used Rhinoskin products in the past with much success, so I took a leap of faith on this one. I am not disappointed.

Before I inserted my iPod Nano, I used Q-tips and alcohol to clean the inside of the clear plastic, and I made sure the face of my nano was clean. I carefully slid the nano inside the case.
I did not get any scratches on the ipod.

I was afraid the nano would fall out since there is nothing strapped along the bottom. However, the rubber pads inside hold the nano very snuggly. I even held the case by the clip and shook it, yet the nano did not even budge a millimeter.

I also like that the clip is removeable.

I use the Bose iPod speaker dock with this nano. The one negative is the case needs to either be taken off, or the adapter that fits over the docking opening needs to be removed. I chose to remove the adapter.

I have no regrets with this product thus far.

The Rhinoskin case works fine. The nano fits well in the case. No problems getting it in and out. My issue with the case is the weight. I'm just guessing b/c I don't have tech specs, but it feels like it makes the nano twice as heavy. One of things I was so excited about when I got my nano was that it was so light. This case takes the joy out of that. Don't get me wrong; it's still pretty light. But other all-plastic cases I've tried don't test the elastic on my shorts as much as this one does.

Horrible - the first time I slid my nano into the case it put several scratches on the front; defeats the purpose for even buying it. I would recommend getting an Agent 18 case.

I've bought this Rhinoskin hoping to protect my brand new Nano... but since this is a slide in design, it SCRATCHED my never been used Nano's menu button. COMMENTS: NEVER BUY THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SCRATCH YOUR iPOD NANO (assumming you would be sliding your nano in and out of the case for more than ones!)

I am not impressed with the rhinoskin. The case was designed very poorly. The most glaring defect is the inaccessibility of the hold button, which is used to prevent changes in volume and songs when exercising. To get at it, I've found it necessary to take the nano out of the case which defeats the purpose of having the case. In addition the clip is difficult to use because it's so stiff and heavy. The lanyard is not adjustable and is made out of a thin elastic. Though I haven't had problems with the case scratching my nano, it's not surprising that's an issue given the other problems. Save your money or buy something else.

This is the perfect case for someone who loves to run or workout. The clip tightly attaches to any piece of clothing, even though it's somewhat hard to put on and take off.

I really liked using the Rhinocase, because it did a good job of protecting my Ipod nano. With it's clear cover, and aluminium backing I really could use it affectively. You can still see what you are doing, except when it gets dropped a lot it is hard to see through the cover part.
