I just got an iPod nano, it's very pretty and shiny and I'm scared of scratching it (I hear they're prone to it). Can anyone recommend a shop in Sydney (pref. city) or online shop that sells good quality, cheap form-fitting cases which will protect the iPod, including the screen?

I'm not keen on paying $50 for those weird looking iPod sock things in the Apple Store online.

This would be helpful for me too! What colour is yours? I've got the black one, and even without a case or anything, mine still has no scratches after a couple of months!

i just bought genuine apple nano (like condom material, but thicker) skins for my nano. Fit perefectly, unlike crappy fake ones. Cost a lot but they protect the nano and they look good. I have a spare one (BRAND new) that i was gunna sell on eBay, but if ur interested, PM me. :)

Mine is black too, and knowing me i'll probably scratch it soon >_< i'd rather prevent it from being scratched

I got one of the apple skins ($10 from a friend) and they are a really good fit and protect the nano really well. The only problem is that they DON'T cover the screen, so I may buy a case that covers the whole thing sometime in the future...

Got it for my birthday so I can't really do anything about it.

Ok so Unimac at UNSW has cheapy silicone covers, no screen protection, $20. They also have some slip on thing which protects the screen, $40... screen protecting film is $10 for 6 sheets.

JB Hifi also has the cheapy covers, and they have wallety things as well which are cute, but dont know how much protection they offer. $40

There's always the iPod socks, but I'm not keen on them.

Does anyone know of a good cover for the normal iPods? I don't like the one that comes with it because I can't see the screen:(.

My iPod Nano still has the flm on it too, and the screen isn't scratched so it must be working!

I'm going to wait until after Christmas to buy a cover for it, because I might be getting one for Christmas. :D

These are great, I would recommend these if you're willing to fork out the cash.

Well, unfortunately for Apple, the screen holds much of the problem for them.
