After the criticism of how easily the iPod nano scratched, Apple started including a simple sleeve case. An interesting new feature, or is it a bug, of this case is that the touch sensitive dial on the nano still works through the case. So you can still easily change the volume without taking the iPod out of the case.

If you cut a small hole in the bottom of the case to sneak the headphone cable through, you can then control the ipod through the case and see the screen.
