iPod Nano Cases dot net Review:
Want to take your Apple iPod Nano with you in the swimming pool? No problem. Want to take your Apple iPod Nano with you in the water while sailing, kayaking, swimming, or in the shower? Again, absolutely no problem. The EGO 25906033 Waterproof Case comes with built-in speakers which are also enclosed tightly and securely in the clear acrylic-like case (as seen in the above picture).
With the proper use of the Ego Sound Case, you can take your iPod in up to 3.3 feet of water. However, please do take into consideration that although the case is waterproof, it can only handle the water pressure of up depths of 3.3 feet of calm water. Surfing/bodyboarding (anything that deals with waves or rougher water), white-water rafting, and the like is NOT recommended as it can result in damage to your electronic device.
Don’t have waterproof ear/headphones? Once again, no problem. No ear/headphones required to use your iPod with this case because the built in speakers allow you to crank up your tunes for everyone to hear.
The speaker sound quality is pretty good (although don’t expect it to be comparable to Bose, or even Altec Lansing), and the speakers are somewhat louder than you’d expect coming from such a small thing. If you’re not an audiophile, you will probably be quite pleased with the sound.
As you can see in the picture, the EGO is one of the larger enclosures for iPods, but this is to be expected as it contains speakers. This one isn’t made to strap to your arm or anything like that. We like to think of it as a Sonic portable speaker system that you can take with you in the water.
As far as price goes, we believe it to be a fair deal. Not very cheap, but not very expensive. As most of us here are avid beach-goers, the EGO is quite appealing and fits perfectly to our lifestyle.

Belkin F8Z060 Sports Sleeve: Wear Your iPod on Your Sleeve, not Your Heart

iPod Nano Cases dot net Review:
The Belkin F87060 Sports Sleeve for iPod Nano is the perfect no frills, no nonsense armband for the athlete, the casual pedestrian, or just someone who wants a secure no-hands hold on their iPod Nano.
The silicone case is a perfect snug fit for either the 1st or 2nd generation iPod Nano. Included with the silicone case is a velcro armband and a clear screen protector.
iPod Nano Cases dot net has tested this with a 2nd generation iPod Nano 4GB version. We’ve worn it while running, playing in the sand at the beach, working in the house and yard, and taking a casual stroll around the block. The Belkin Sports Sleeve and armband stays in place where you’ve originally strapped it to your arm. It’s fairly comfortable, lightweight, and not at all bulky.
The Belkin Sports Sleeve is available in colors white and black (as seen above).
The white version ($9.99) is somewhat translucent…very nice, but we should warn you it stains a bit easily. When iPod Nano Cases dot net took it to a bonfire at the beach, the case was somewhat stained from the smoke from the fire. But, no worries if you don’t plan on taking it there or anywhere in the mud and dirt.
The black version ($8.75) is also nice, less susceptible to staining, and a little over a buck cheaper than the white version at Amazon.
