The Knomo iPod Nano case is available in four leather colors (Bloody Mary Red, Limo Black, James Dark Brown and Bourbon light brown). The case is made from a rugged smooth leather.

The flip covers provides the protection for the front of the Nano when closed. The inside of the case is covered in a soft lining that will not scratch your iPod.

The things that I liked about this case were the build quality and overall look of the case. It did have a couple of things that I thought should be changed. When the Nano is in the case the docking port is covered by part of the case. With the front flap closed there is not an opening on the top for the hold switch, this can be accessed easily by opening the flap.

The click wheel is covered with a thin layer of silicone that still allows for normal use of the control wheel.

The thing I like the best about this case is it’s unique design. Capdase style’d the case with raised and lowered sections for design and added protection in key areas. Part of the sides of the case are also ribbed for easier handling.

Episode 22 we review the 5G Video iPod Case from iSkin in this video segment. The iSkin EVO3 iPod Video case is available in six colors (Blush Pink, Arctic Clear, Sonic Blue, Eclipse Black, Blaze Red and Atomic Green). A clear hard plastic screen protector called the VISOR protects the front of the iPod. The Visor floats just above the iPod’s front in between two layers of the silicone case.  The EVO3 also features the Revo2 belt clip which has been redesigned to be stronger than previous versions. The belt clip is rotable and will lock into several different spots. The revo2 clip can be removed from the case that allows a flat back for users that do not need a belt clip. The click wheel is covered by a thin layer of silicone that protects the wheel from scratches, moisture and dust. The wheel is still fully usable with the covering. The hold switch is also covered by silicone, but is designed to allow the switch to still function. iSkin has also included their docking port connection cover on the EVO3 case like previous versions. This is a flip open piece of the case that keeps the docking port on the bottom of the iPod clean and is easily opened for cable connections.

All in all the EVO3 case is my favorite skin case to be released for the iPod Video. The evogrip texture on the case prodivdes a unique look and feels great in your hand. They visor screen protection is superior to other cases. I would not hesitate to spend the extra money and get the iSkin EVo3.
