Reviews for Griffin Courier Clip for iPod nano (6th Gen.)

I looked at lots of different cases and decided to buy this one. It is sturdy, easy to use and protects the nano very well. The glass of the nano is still exposed but it is recessed and surrounded with rubber, so it seems to be well protected. Button operation is no problem. It would be nice to charge it without taking it out of the case, but you'd have to sacrifice sturdiness. With a little practice it goes in & out of the protective rubber with ease. I never like paying $25 for an accessory but at least you get a well made substantial product. I have paid $25 for much cheaper cases.

It is hard to find a great case for your brand new iPod Nano. This one is not cheap. However, it is a very nice case for this iPod. Spend the money and buy this case before you drop the little nano! It is so little you need this case to protect it from "fat finger" type accidents. Remember, your only have to drop it on a hard surface ONCE and you are going to be very unhappy-to say the least. Don't buy some cheap case for this little jewel that is truly the best sounding iPod I have EVER owned-and I have owned one of every model that Apple has made. This Nano sounds fantastic-take care of it and get you one of these. You will thank me the first time it slips out of your hand (s).

This case is excellent. It's actually much more rugged than I thought it would be. Once your Nano is inside, it feels rock solid. If you don't sync your Nano often, then this could be perfect for you. The case makes the Nano virtually splash proof.

However, my stereo input on my car uses the 30pin connector for iPod, which I use every day. So, taking it in and out of the case is no good for me. If you are careful you can remove a little silicone and make room for the 30 pin connector, which I did. Of course by making the opening for the connector, mine is not quite as splash proof.

I al ways found the clip built onto the Nano a pain to work, but this carabiner makes things easy. If this case came with an opening for the dock connector, and maybe a fold out plug that fit in snug when not using the connector it would be 5 five stars.

If you don't use the dock connector often, highly recommended.

If you use the dock connector often, still recommended, but you might want to make an opening in the case.

I really researched the different ipod holders/protectors and I am so glad I found this one. I am very particular about quality and this courier clip is well made and well worth the money. I read other reviews about this protector and one thing I have to dispute is the fact that it is hard to get the nano out, I find just the opposite, it is really easy to get the nano out. I feel like my iPod nano is well protected even if I would drop it. I also purchased the anti glare film and I glad that I did. Together these two products will help make my iPod nano last a long time and be scratch free.

I don't dispute any part of the other reviews - this is an ingenious little case that does a good job of protecting the Nano. Unfortunately the spring that keeps the clip shut has completely busted after less than 5 months of moderate use. (Clipping it on and off a bookbag - nothing extreme.) To be honest, I like the case so much that I'm considering replacing it. But if you think the price is already on the high side, just beware that you might be shelling out for a Nano case again soon.

This one thing is rather good, but it could be rather perfect. Every time when you want to charge your iPod or synchronize it, you have to take it out of this case. In this moment its metal carabiner becomes loosen. So it would be really great if the manufacturer will make a special hole for the direct wire connection (the same hole like for headphones) and a special cap to protect the iPod connector when it is not used. So when you want to connect your device all you have to do is just to eject that cap and connect your iPod. If it will be done, this one case will be rather perfect. In this way it will worth it's 24.95$. And in this way I'll give it 5 stars.

Bought this case as it wasn't quite your normal iPod case. Must say I'm quite pleased with this case as you can take your nano with you wherever you go without the fear of losing it. I clip the case to the sternum strap on my backpack and it's pretty lightweight and easy to reach. This case works great while traveling or just out and about. Highly recommend.

This is a very handy and cool case for the iPod 6th generation. It was about time someone made this kind of case :P

Well this is probably a bad idea but if you really wanted to have the USB port open you could always use a knife to cut it open. I think it's great the way it is though. They should make a little rubber door that you could open and close if you wanted.
