Digital camera reviews of DSI NANO 3Gen Crystal Case

Digital camera Review: Can't beat it
Summary: 5 Stars

You have to buy this product if you are looking for a sleek case for the Ipod 3g. This is awesome, and you can't beat the price. You would have to pay sooo much more in the stores. If you're looking for a simple protective case for your Ipod, then do not hesitate to purchase this.

Digital camera Review: Crystal Case
Summary: 4 Stars

I've found this case really great. I had another case (or 2) before this one and either they were difficult to use or they made the ipod really bulky. Maybe this one sacrifices some protection for the ipod in order to make the body slightly smaller, but for me this is a good tradeoff. The screen is protected too which is nice since with another one of the cases that I've had there wasn't anything preventing scratches to the screen. In general I really like this case. The one problem is when I'm going to the gym and I want to transfer the ipod to one of those cases that wraps around your upper arm. The crystal case is a little hard to open and I worry that one day it's going to break. If you don't plan on removing your ipod very often this shouldn't be a problem.

Digital camera Review: Does the job...Great deal for the price.
Summary: 4 Stars

So far, I'm relatively pleased with this item. It fits the nano very well, and looks good to boot. It looks like it could scratch fairly easily, though, only time will tell.

Contrary to other reviews on this item, mine DOES have screen protection. The plastic that protects the screen is a bit recessed compared to the rest of the case. Perhaps that makes it hard to see. There is also access to the headphone jack via a small hinged door on the bottom of the case.

The only problem I've encountered is that with the door flipped open, the Nano will not fit on my Ipod dock.

Overall, a great deal for the price.

Digital camera Review: Does what it needs to.
Summary: 4 Stars

Fairly-good design, nice and clear so it shows my color, and it's pretty durable, but I wouldn't drop it from tall heights. Does what it needs to do though, especially since I've already dropped it twice and the case didn't break in two or unlatch the iPod.

Digital camera Review: Eh....
Summary: 4 Stars

I also agree that when opening this case you need to be VERY careful! Once my iPod is inside though, I'm pretty happy with it. The case does cover the screen, and is tough enough to prevent the scratches I was getting. My blue iPod even looks kind of pretty in the crystal clear case, which is a plus! The click wheel is accessible, as is the hold switch, docking connection, and earbud jack. I'm not sure what the description means when it says that it comes with an armband slot for convenience. Mine does not seem to have any such thing. I will need to take the case off in order to fit it into my armband, but it does not bulk up the iPod too much. I can still fit it into my front jeans pocket. Overall, this product is exactly what I needed to protect my iPod from minor scratches during everyday use.

Update: Only 3 months after purchase, and the clips used to keep the case closed have broken. It seems as though the shipped product is inconsistent, because mine does indeed have plastic covering the screen, and there is plenty of space for the headphone jack. However, the case prevents use of my armband, and after repeated removal of the case from my iPod, the clasps are broken and the case no longer remains closed. *sigh* back to the drawing board...
