A Japanese iPod accessory manufacturer has revealed new metal protective cases for nano models of the portable music player.
Shimura's Metal Jacket for the third-generation iPod nano is a hinged case featuring a front flap to protect the device's controls and screen from general wear and tear.
According to iLounge, the case also lets users access the controls of the device which are not on the front of it, including the dock connector and the hold switch, without a minimum of fuss.
The new case is available in silver, red and black and is expected to retail in Japan for around 8900 yen (£39).
Shimura's new casing has been released around a week after iSkin launched a new skin designed specifically for the touch model of the iPod.
Made from silicon, the skin has been created to allow users a better grip of the player, while also protecting the device's screen with a transparent cover.
