Let's talk about how to choose the right iPod nano holders for you. Did you just get a new iPod nano? Congratulations! I love my iPod nano -- I bet you will too. If you're like most of us, one of the first questions you ask (after how to download music) is how to choose a holder for your iPod nano.

There's a wider variety of nano cases then you might expect, in a variety of stiles. You might find choosing a case more complicated than you planned.

For less than 10 dollars you can get a silicone film covering, a faux leather flip case, and a few plastic belt clips. But that's just the starting point. You can get nano holders for your workouts, for fashion statements, to protect from wind and rain, and more.

Where will you use your nano?

Stop and think for a minute. How will you use the nano in your day? Will you listen during your commute? During a workout? While working around the house? Are you likely to drop your iPod nano or bump into it?

Before they're done, most people end up with a couple different nano holders. I have an armband for working out, but use a leather flip-top holder on the way to work weekdays.

For Working Out:

When working out you need to protect it from drops, bumps, and bangs. You'll want easy access to the iPod nano without it getting in the way. Most exercisers use an armband.

I prefer a sweat-resistant armband, to protect it from moisture. My Belkin neoprene armband has a clear film over the display and a clip-on cord keeper. The only problem is I can't easily see what I'm doing when I change playlists.

If you'd prefer to carry your iPod nano when working out you'll want a slip-proof cover. I suggest a silicone cover thick enough to also provide a little shock absorption if (or is it when?) you drop it.

At Work (or While Commuting)

Some professions require a conservative, professional image. If a put-together appearance is critical you'll want a leather iPod nano cover. You can get them in wallet-fold or flip-top styles. They'll project the image you need. Consider a leather case that has a lining to protect your nano from scratches.

If you're lucky enough not to be in a conservative job you get a lot more leeway in your choices. You just need to decide if you're more interested in being practical or stylish and go from there. The next paragraphs will help.

Practical Features:

If you'll be outside much you might consider waterproof cases. Also think about whether you need a belt clip or perhaps a snap to help you keep track of the case.

If your iPod nano will be rattling around in a briefcase or purse, or if it's likely to get bumped or dropped often, be careful. You'll want to get a hard-sided case to protect your nano.

Going for style:

Most nano owners are more worried about practical stuff. Some of us like to look good with the nano as well. You can get designer cases, cases with Swarovski crystal accents, even cases made with high-energy prints. My website has a review of designer iPod nano holders to give you some ideas.

Ready to get your nano case now? Go forth and buy? If you'd like to look around a bit more stop by my website for some ideas. Regardless of where you buy, enjoy your new iPod 3g nano.
