Digital camera reviews of Belkin Leather Folio Case for iPod nano 3G (Black)
Digital camera Review: Excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars
Before purchasing this item, I read other reviews and product descriptions. Both were very accurate as to the quality and function of this product . Not only does it provide protection for my Ipod, fully enclosed with a clear plastic cover over the display, it also looks great! The magnet in the flap is a nice detail. My Ipod Nano slips easily inside and has access for both the dock connector and headphones. A must buy.Digital camera Review: Fits pretty well
Summary: 4 Stars
(This refers to the product itself, not a seller.)
I bought the pink version of this product and am pleased so far with the look and feel. My 3rd Gen nano fits in there fairly well, but does poke out the left side a little, causing the nano's wheel to be ever-so-slightly obstructed. It is still operable, however. I know that leather is hard and takes a little bit to wear in, so I've been squeezing it in order to make it softer.
The magnetic closure works well and keeps the little folio closed. The elastic pieces at top and bottom, which keep the nano in, also cover the bottom port, keeping it dust free. Those who wish to charge their ipod without taking out of its sleeve will be disappointed. Access to the headphone port and hold slider are unimpaired.
I'm a wearer of small purses so I was looking for something quite slim. This fits the bill pretty well. It has no belt clip so look elsewhere if that's what you need.
Overall I'm pleased and would recommend this to all. I only gave it a 4-star rating because I'd like the ipod to fit in the perfectly right off the bat. (Ocd I guess, what can I say ;)
Digital camera Review: Fitting
Summary: 4 Stars
Having just returned an iMainGo "personal" speaker that, in effect, upconverted my iPod Nano 3G into a clunky boom box, I'm happy to report that this Belkin case is tailor-made for the little tyke. The word "Folio" is hardly an apt description for a diminutive, square-ish item that is barely any wider or taller than the Nano itself. The leather is good quality and smells it. A caveat: you can't charge the Nano while it's in the case (some easy, minor adjustments by the manufacturer to the elastic strap would have made the dock connector accessible) nor is its audio output easily accessible to certain cables (esp. with a right-angle mini-plug) while encased.
If purchased at its retail price (or anything north of 10 bucks), the Belkin Case will no doubt disappoint, though to see a large box arrive from Amazon with contents smaller than a single playing card may provide some compensating humor.
Note: Although Amazon currently lists this Belkin Nano 3G case as "black," it's actually black&brown. In fact, I see no difference between it and the Belkin case listed as "black&chocolate" at a lower price. Maybe Amazon has in mind the skin color of the consumer. Whichever is lower priced, I'll be that color.
Digital camera Review: Good iPod Case - Stylish & Functional
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this case for my iPod about 3 weeks ago and have found it to be well made, very functional and stylish as well. The case fits the iPod very well and provides good protection without adding a lot of bulk. I've been very happy with the case and would recommend it to others.Digital camera Review: Good protection but can't use accessories
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this case with the iPod nano 3G. I found it to be very nice protection for the iPod but If you plan on using the iPod plugged into a car adapter or charger while keeping it in the case forget about it. The design of the case prohibits the use of those accessories. The plug is completely covered and unaccessible.
