Well when testing the Otterbox [ waterproof, dustproof, dirtproof, sandproof, and drop-proof ] for iPod Nano I was scared that I was going to break my Nano. The Otterbox did a great job protecting my Nano. Good thing it did or I would have a broken iPod Nano. If you are a swimmer or someone who wants to take their music with them while doing an activity that would damage your iPod the Otterbox is a great solution. For the price of $39.95 it is a little under half the price of the iPod Nano 2GB (1st Gen.). So it all depends on what you are going to use it for.
If you are going to be doing a lot of rugged activity or swimming etc the Otterbox is perfect for you. Overall I am very impressed with the Otterbox for iPod Nano and we at ThinkComputers give it a 10 out of 10 score!
