iskins are really expensive for what is just a case, but they do look good.

It looks good, but what concerns me is that it's going to make the Nano quite a bit thicker. For me, this is what's so nice about it. Plus, I don't see the point of covering the Nano with a shell, even if it is in the same colour.
I think I'm going to get the Belkin Remix Acrylic when it's available in the UK.

iSkin has been on top case-wise for some time now, this installment is no exception. I am really impressed with it. It actually isnt that much thicker than the naked Nano, and it actually succeeds in making the nano look BETTER with the case on.

Does anyone know much about these: http://www.shadescases.com/products/iPod/shades_nano3G/
I'm, once again, just a bit worried about my shure headphones not being able to plug into the audio port down the bottom. Can anyone enlighten me?

Hmm, still not sure. I think it's a shame to cover up the iPod itself, so I've decided to go for an invisibleSHIELD, again. :)

Are the invisible shields really hard to apply? I'm just a bit worried about screwing up the application and the liquid getting into the ipod itself.

I haven't applied an invisibleSHIELD yet, but I did apply a GuardFilm (http://www.guardfilm.com) on my last iPod and it wasn't difficult. :)

Knock five bucks off that price.
In a week or two we should have the majority of the new cases out in time for the Holiday season. My bet is several makers will have similar looking cases and feature sets. iSkin's looks nice but they seem to be jacking up the price compared to everyone else. And that's not even including shipping fees.

I know. I calculated on iSkin's website that, with shipping to Australia, it'll end up costing me 40USD, and that's before the credit card surcharge I'll have to pay for foreign currency payments.
I'm just going to order a Marware sportgrip or Belkin silicone sleeve off eBay, which will cost me around 20AUD all up (shipping and credit card surcharge). I've placed a bid on the sportgrip, but I'm wondering if I should've bought the Belkin instead. Anyone got opinions?

I like the styling, but its just too pricey. It'll end up costing me like 1/4 of the cost of my 8GB nano.....
The Marware or Belkin silicone cases should do me nicely. I just can't decide between the two
