Unlike the 3rd gen. iPod Touch, which retained the same shape and size as the previous version the 5th gen. iPod Nano’s design changed from it’s older sibling.  The addition of the video camera as well as the larger screen means older cases won’t fit the new device.

Tunewear has announced the release of new cases for the iPod Nano 5th gen.  They are shipping now so if you’re looking for a way to protect your sparkling new Nano click on……

ICEWEAR – $19.95 – this case uses the company’s rib technology for a strong grip when carrying or making videos.
