My husband and I each got one of these for our Nanos and we are very happy with them. I have the hot pink Nano and he has the silver Nano and we are happy with how they look and feel with the case on. My hot pink looks more like a soft pink with the case on and of course his silver looks more dull as opposed to shiny but we think they still look great! We love the feel of the Nano with the case on it; it's a thick gummy type material. I have read other reviews on other cases where people have complained because the case does not cover up the screen. If this is a concern to you then you may not want to get this case. This case does not cover the screen or the little circle part that you use to navigate your ipod. Of course, you could always just buy one of those thin, removable screen protectors for added protection if you were worried about it. We are not rough with our electronics so it's not even an issue for us.

I got this mainly to keep my iPod from slipping out of my pocket accidentally. It does that very well.
My only complaint is that it seems like the new 5th generation cover doesn't have enough of a lip around the opening. The older version seemed to have a an opening that would wrap around the bottom of the iPod which worked better. As a result the new new tends to slip off more. Visually the the difference is hardly noticeably but it doesn't function as well as the old one.

this fits perfectly on my 5th generation nano. it is pretty opaque, though. you can't really see your ipod color through it except for the slits on the back and the middle button on the front. if that doesn't matter to you, this is a great product!

I had no expectation that this Nano case would protect the Nano from breakage or from damage to the screen, but what I expected (and what I got) was some peace of mind that I could grip the Nano better. Until the case arrived, I was afraid that I would drop the case easily. If you like to slide your Nano into tight jean pockets, this might not be the product for you due to the friction between the silicone case and clothing. I carry the Nano in roomy zippered pockets or in a buttoned shirt pocket allowing easy access. You may have to carve the oval on the back a little bit larger with an X-acto blade (removing the Nano from the case first of course) if the opening obstructs the camera lens. For around $3 it's a good value

It collects moisture and has to be removed so the Nano can dry out; it doesn't quite fit and constantly needs to be adjusted, and the hole for the camera is not in the right place. Not my best Amazon purchase but I probably got my money's worth.

The case is inaccurately pictured on Amazon. The case in the pictures has two slits on the back for you to attach an armband to it. The case I recieved does not have these slits, making it impossible to attach my armband. I needed a case for my nano 5G to replace the one for my old 4G since they are slightly different shapes (the screen is longer, so the old case obscures part of the clickwheel and the screen). If you just want a protective case for your nano 5G, this one is fine - as long as you dont intend to use it with an armband. For me it was a waste of $3.

The Case is easy to slip on and soft. Does the job of protecting well except for the glass screen which has no cover. Otherwise it's great!

I'm enjoying the iPod nano(5th Generation) even more now that it's protected by this case.

The small size and smooth metal finish of the nano called for something to make it less likely to squirm away from fumbling fingers (or slide across a leather car seat).

This product answers the bell perfectly. Even with a perfect, snug fit over the iPod, it was easy to "install", and once sheathed, the nano still fits in its dock and all controls are still easily accessible. Although it doesn't cover the display, the slight thickness of the case is likely to offer enough stand-off space between the screen and surfaces that might scratch it to reduce those opportunities.

The price for this item has varied considerably in recent weeks. I purchased two of these for two cents each(that's correct: two pennies...). It's now priced around two dollars, and certainly worth that. Don't feel bad about the deep discount; the seller charged $2.98 for shipping --on each--, even though both cases arrived in the same envelope. In a nationwide brick and mortar store (with a blue and gold color scheme), I've seen similar products priced at from three to ten times as much (yep...$20!...for what appears to be an identical silicone sheath).

Another note about the seller I received this item from (CrazyOnDigital): I gave them a neutral review for missing their shipping window, which I though was perfectly reasonable. After this, they sent me email asking me to delete that feedback. I didn't do so, but find this rather strange behavior: they should expect --and accept-- such feedback if they don't meet their commitments.

This case came to me at a decent time. But The worse cut out every. I went to Family Dollar and I had found a case that is better than this, and it came with 5 in different colors. Cut outs were exact and worth the price. Please don't waste your money on this product.

This really protects the ipod. I bought this for my daughter's ipod and it does the job and looks nice on there.
