There probably were many discussions about them, but here I go again.
I was deciding between these cases for my nano:

-Agent 18 nano Shield

-CoutourCase iSee nano

-stm nano Cocoon

-Power Support Crystal Jacket for nano

-iSkin Duo

-Tunewear PRIE Ambassador or TuneTag Edge


Which one(s) do you guys recommend?
I've read many reviews, but for some of them, I can't find any.
I'm confused to whether to go for the softer silicone style or hard shells.
Somehow, I feel more comfortable with a softer case, but logically hard shells should be better I guess?

And, also some of the cases listed above doesn't have protective wheel covers.
Where can I get a good one for a cheap price? (under $10)

I have a Agent 18 case for my 5G and love it.

For the nano, I use a ToughSkin rubber case with the screen insert, and under it is a vinyl iPod skin from decalgirl.com.

To see what the Prie case does to an unprotected iPod, look at this here: http://www.mrgaskell.com/wordpress/?p=33

I'd probably go with the Agent 18 case myself.

Go with the Power Support *with* their Crystal Film and 3-D wheel cover

Hands down the best minimalist case that protects and also shows off your iPod's beauty.

To dislike Sinatra is a sign of highly questionable taste. To dislike the Beatles is a serious character flaw.

Wow. That is scary. Thanks for caution! You would think a fairly expensive case like the PRIE would work...

I'm happy so far with the pricey Apple nano Tubes. The fit is - as you would expect - perfect. I had the DLO nano Shell (hard case) first and returned it... It was scratched and looked like sh!t out of the (still sealed) box. I also had DLO's JamJacket. That also went back. It was "powdery" and also looked like crap.

Memo to self: No more DLO products.

Paying a bit more for the Apple stuff is what I've already done when I bought my Macs and my iPods. Might as well commit.

DigitalEl: do the nano tubes have a lanyard with them? or is that something that comes separate?
some people are like slinkys: they don't do much, but are fun to push down stairs.
