The 12 Days of iPod Christmas: part one

On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
a three-pack of iSkins for my iPod nano (2nd generation)

More info: iSkin
Available from: iWorld
Price: £19.99

The second-gen iPod nano isn't nearly as scratch-prone as its predecessor, but you still might want to keep it in a case -- to protect the screen, to make it easier to carry or to customise it. Annoyingly, the second-gen nano is not only a different shape, but also slightly taller, so most of the cases for the original version won't fit.

Of the second-gen cases, our favourite so far is the new iSkin, which combines a thin layer of coloured silicon with a clear plastic face plate and a removable belt clip. The silicon layer protects the ClickWheel and makes your nano easier to grip, while the face plate protects the screen. It also makes it harder to accidentally brush the ClickWheel, by recessing it slightly. Your £19.99 gets you three silicon skins -- one frosted and two coloured -- plus a face plate and a rotating belt clip.
