iPOD Nano 7th & 8th Generation Leather Flip case with Removable Clip (Version 2)

Although better than some (extremely bad) other cases, ultimately, this case was not worth the money.Good points:1) Belt clip uses thicker plastic than bad competitors that broke in weeks or days.2) Easy open flap with the magnetic closure/latch.3) Provides good protection for the iPod, if the flap happens to stay closed.Bad points:1) Belt clip is still thin, cheap plastic at the hinge and broke in less than 8 months.2) The side buttons are very hard to find and press by touch. I ended up cutting a notch that helped with this. (Top and face buttons are not accessible with the flap closed.)3) The fit is very loose and sloppy. The iPod can actually "rattle" in the case. This also makes it harder to operate each button.4) The flap comes open very easily. And, when it does, the iPod comes flying out to land on the hard floor. I actually had to resort to using a black rubber band to help keep the flap closed.5) The case wears easily at the button and connector points (See photos). This eventually prevented the lightning connector from plugging in until I cut off the little flap of case plastic that had developed.

Would've bought the Proporta over this one, but that case flips open the wrong way. This one has its own issues: the back metal button clip is too big for this tiny little case and the open left side top allows the iPod to move around. (I tried to find a real leather flip case like I bought a few years ago for my older iPod Touch, with no success. This was as close as it comes.)However, this case is plastic fake leather, so I fixed those issues and now have a sleek little protective case that feels good in my hand or in the pocket and can be placed on any surface so it lies flat and without that back metal button causing it to mar the surface. I simply let out 3 left side stitches with a seam ripper (an exacto knife or even a razor blade would also work), pulled out the back metal button, then stitched back that small seam with a couple of threads looped at the left top to better seal that section and keep the iPod seated properly.

I deliver packages and when I had my ipod in my pocket it would always skip. This has held up well for a bit over a month and snaps in and out of the belt holder. Exactly what I needed!

The good: I mainly bought this for the belt clip. I've bought other cases with belt clips for my Nano before and invariably the cheap plastic clips would break anywhere from after a few days to after a few months. The clip on this case is very sturdy and the way it attaches to the case offers some give to prevent breakage when bending your hips. The leather case fits the iPod snuggly and the magnetic front flap protects the touchscreen, something other cases don't address.The bad: The bulkiness of the leather case makes it difficult to access the side and top buttons on the iPod. The same issue for hitting icons on the touchscreen when the icons are close to the edges.

Good case. The buttons are kind of a pain to push but I don't worry at all about my ipod getting scratched up. The removable clip on the back is nice too.

I had to order a different holder, I can't use this on a regular basis. I like the quality of the material but the area of the bottom button has overlap and it makes it hard to push the button. The side opening makes the iPod slide out of place every time I slide from screen to screen which is annoying. I will use it when I am walking or riding my bike and won't be messing with my music selection and know it will be secure.

works just as I wanted. Had one for a ipod classic and this looks as good fits well.

Not a great fit. Waiting on the case to stretch out with time and use. So far, no luck. It kind of fits, but was hoping for a Good fit. This particular item was not stitched well. It does protect my nano.
