Advantages: small, comfortable, easy to use, looks good, prevents scratches.
Disadvantages: If you don't do much exercise it may not be worth it

...You can pick this up now for around £7, I got mine free with the IPod when I bought it but to be honest mine has a clip on the back of the IPod so this protective sleeve is hardly ever used. The band itself is made of rubber, it feels comfotable to wear and is very lightweight, the rubber band adds little to no weigh to the actual IPod itself. Because it's made of rubber it also ensures that the IPod is protected against it being dropped, dinged or scratched as much as possible. Of course the screen part is always visable so if anythings going to get broken whilst using it, its the screen, which is probably the worse part to get damaged. The IPod slips safely and securely into the rubber sleeve, which holds it tightly. The band keeps your iPod screen and controls visible and they are still very easy to use when the IPod...

Advantages: really protects iPod, connections accessible
Disadvantages: heavy, clickwheel less sensitive, screen scratches easily

...When I got my new iPod classic a few months ago, I decided I definitely needed a case to protect my new baby from scratches and getting broken rattling around in my bag. I opted for this smart case from Belkin, in a pretty light/bright green colour. I bought it on Amazon Marketplace and at the time it was some ridiculous price like 1p plus p&p from Germany of around £7. So overall pretty cheap as far as iPod accessories go. It is now for sale directly from Amazon for £13.99 or on Amazon Marketplace from £10. Aside from the green I chose, the case comes in black, silver, clear, blue, pink and probably more which weren't available where I bought mine. For the coloured versions, the front is coloured brushed aluminium with the back clear acrylic. The version I bought was made specifically for the new iPod classic 80 and 160GB models. I...

Advantages: Nice tight fit. Cable Capsule very useful for runners. Washable.
Disadvantages: Key holder is useless

...Currently not available in the UK, I bought mine from ebay which arrived today posted from the US. Belkin states that it is designed for the iPod Classic 80Gb and 160 Gb. However, my iPod is from the 4th generation (the first one capable of showing photos) and it manages to fit. The fabric behind the plastic screen is elastic which holds the iPod tight. There is a cable capsule which particularly useful for runners keeping the excess cable away. This is also detachable. There is also a slight pocket which allows you to store a key. I imagine that this was done for gym users to store their locker key. Don't expect to be able to store your house keys in there (unless you only have one key to your house). The strap is fully adjustable using a metal hook and loop system. Basically, a metal hook slides into one of those loops you can see... Read review

Advantages: Excellent, near CD sound quality. Much better than MP3
Disadvantages: The unit needs recharging regularly.

...the track details. If you don't have web access, then entering in the CD details is a very labourious job! The main gripe is the need to recharge the battery relatively frequently. It is meant to last six hours of playing time, yet rarely last more than four (and even less than this if you shuffle between tracks from different albums alot). The battery pack is unremovable, so you can't put ordinary batteries in it. I've got round this by buying a Belkin power pack, which attaches to the back of the iPod (using suction pads), so that you can run the iPod off ordinarry AAA batteries - a must if you are travelling and plan to listen for more than 4-6 hours. Also it should be noted that you need to back-up your library on your computer. Mine crashed, and I had to re-install Windows, but because I didn't have a back-up of the library (even though...

Advantages: Allows you to listen to your mp3 player in your car
Disadvantages: Very Poor Quality Of Sound!

...worked fine in my friend's car. I have a Y-Reg Volkswagen Polo, which has a side-load cassette mechanism... so don't buy this if you have a Volkswagen! I used to have a Sony cassette adapter, which worked perfectly, but sadly it broke, giving the reason why I bought this one. The durability of the Belkin one looks even worse. It is very delicate, any slight touch to the wire or the portable device causes bad sound quality. If you want my advice... if you have a modern head unit in your car, it will probably have aux inputs at the back. So buy an aux to 3.5mm jack cable, and connect it to your head unit. This surely would produce better sound quality. Anyway, the Belkin case holder which fits my iPod to my dashboard that came with the cassette adapter is great. Pity I just can't listen to it :( Overall, it's a pretty useful device if your... Read review

Advantages: Cute, stylish, excellent quality music
Disadvantages: Scratches easily

...The Ipod Nano 4GB (the aluminium version) is a cracking product from Apple. Using the Nano is very easy with Windows Vista, and itunes is fast. It is a case of dragging and dropping the songs you want and itunes converts them for you. As for the IPOD its light weight and styish. Using the scroll wheel can be a bit of an issue (especially on a cold morning), but you get used to it. Music quality is very good, bass is also passed though the earphones vrey well. You can also store photos on this version of the ipod, though it can use alot of the battery power. The biggest disadvantage is that the product gets scratched very easily, I would certainly recommend a belkin nano case (not just the skin as its a silicon shrink wrap).... Read review

Advantages: protects ipod,easy to use,easy access to ipod
Disadvantages: has to be removed for access when charging

...When I bought My new Ipod video I was dismayed how easily it scratched,(silly of Apple they must have known this)after trying various products,like the silicon skin,rubber cover etc,all uselees I found this little beauty.The Belkin flip case. I got it when I was in Melbourne,as it did not appear here for a couple of months after the Ipod video hit the market.at around $25Aus.(around £10)what a great find it turned out to be. It fits My ipod,snugly,nice soft leather,with vends at the side to keep air circulating,keeping Ipod cool.dry, A clip for my belt(I don't really use it as I tend to keep Ipod in my pocket)when I am out and about,it flips over nicely,has a see through plastic cover to protect the face of the ipod and easy access to the clicker. Only downside is has to be removed to charge,sync.but that is no big deal,just Me being... Read review

Advantages: Protects your nano!!
Disadvantages: None so far as I can see, after four months of owning one!!

...I had a black nano, but I replaced it when the new style was released, I now have a pink nano. I owned many cases from first nano and believed that I would be able to use them with my new one. I found that my new nano was too big to fit into my old cases. I was very annoyed as I had a lovely range of cases. After much time searching on the internet I found the Belkin case for sale on the John Lewis website. It is one of the only smart looking cases which fit the new nano. The case has a padded exterior for extra protection. It protects my nano so well, I dropped it many times and it has not been damaged. Also it comes with a screen protector strip; this has been highly useful as nano screens are very prone to scratch easily. The case looks amazing; it's very soft leather and looks so smart. It has an opening to plug in earphones... Read review

Advantages: Clean, Tough, Looks very well built
Disadvantages: Expensive, have to remove to charge, slightly gets in the way of the hold button

...When I purchased my Ipod nano, I have heard plenty about how easily they are damaged so I made sure along side its purchase I ordered a case. I chose this on because it was a Belkin case which I like that brand. It also was white to match the Ipod and it also looked quite appealing to me for my tastes. Unfortunately the case was quite expensive coming in at about 15 pounds from the apple website but at least I was pleased to se it came with a "free/something to make it seem like your money was well spent" screen protector. The protector itself is a little film of plastic that is non-adhesive so it does not stick to your screen for easy removal. The case is made of nice looking quality leather. It is stitched so it's not just cheaply glued together. The inside is very soft and smooth so it is not to scratch the delicate mirror... Read review

Advantages: Does its job and very reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Could be a little longer

...have a thing about Belkin there lol) and bought this audio cable. All I needed was a simple cable with a male connector on each end, and that's all I got. It has no bells or whistles, it just does its job. Its 1.5 metres long so its long enough for what I need but they could have made it a little longer just to give you the option of being able to have more room between the 2 connecting objects. It cost a very reasonable £3.00 so I wasn't complaining at all. This cable will connect anything that has a standard audio jack. So if you have a set of speakers and want to connect them to anything (ipod, CD player, Computer etc.) these will do the job. The male connectors are gold plated, this is because gold is just about the best conductor of electricity out there. This means that you will be getting the best possible single going down...
