Marware Sportgrip Extreme for the iPod Nano 4G

This written review has now become my first post in a blog, that I hopefully will remember to update whenever I finish a video review on Apple accessories. Thank you for visiting, and please feel free to visit from time to time.

Ok, now the pleasantries are out of the way, let me introduce to you a really nice silicone case for the iPod nano 4th gen.

The Marware Sportgrip Extreme for the iPod Nano 4G -- $19.99



Marware's sportgrip line has served ipods, past and present. This includes the original iPhone as well. Asides from a price increase, the quality remains the same.

This particular case only includes Marware's signature "Care Package." One that includes a really nice screen wipe (I really like it), a click wheel and a screen protector.

Slim in profile though it does add slight bulk, this particular model is available in only 3 color combos. Sadly there aren't more color combos. Pink/white, Black/red, and White/grey.

Is it a lint catcher? Yes. Though, all you need to do is run your hand across the linty section and --- voila. Lint is gone. It isn't as stretchy as other silicone cases out there, it has some serious substance. Easy in and out of the pocket, its as simple as that.

The easiest way to install this case is through the window, just to let you know by the way.

One glaring problem. I don't understand why they decided to incorporate a slot, near where the usb connector is on the bottom of the case. Why not use what worked in the past, a simple rectangular punch-out would've sufficed. Reason?? Some of use can be rough with out cases, and that slot is waiting to be ripped open by bumbling hands trying to charge their nano at night.


So..

Could it be the perfect case? Yes. I realize that silicone cases aren't for everybody, but listen. It provides really nice drop protection, that will leave your case brand new and fresh looking. Not unlike those polycarbonate cases that'll instantly suffer scars once it kisses pavement. As for the front of the nano, just make sure that you don't drop your nano face down on a really pointy rock, and you'll be set.
