iPod Nano zCover review

Well I've seen it, and I wanted a review. Couldn't find one (didn't search today but couldn't find one in the past) so I decided to write one up today.

Anyway.
It comes in a little transparent case. It's useless but it's a nice touch. Perhaps keep my Nano splash proof.

What it comes with:
Standard cover with the hole at the bottom for a lanyard or dock.
Lanyard cover, which is closed at the bottom except for a hole for the headphones.
(it provides the best protection and has it's own built in lanyard.
Plastic screen protector
Rope/lanyard.


What made me buy this is the fact that it comes with two covers AND a hard screen protector which is usefull.

Now the advantages are that it protects the screen and the body.
However the problems with it is that the plastic that protects the screen COULD slide around and perhaps scratch the ipod? i dont know, I'm guessing since it hasn't happened.

The top part is supposed to have a soft silicon that allows you to move the hold switch easily. But it's not easy at all without having a nail or actually shifting the cover itself a bit.

The rubber feels nice and is just the right thickness. Sadly the wheel area is just as thick as the body and sometimes the ipod doesn't recognize when you are scrolling. Pressing a bit hard solves that though.
The ridges on the side make gripping it easy!

I highly recommend it.

I've give it 4 out of 5.
but compared to the others, it's ace.


(note: according to Dazzla, the Official Apple Covers dont fit with a dock. I dont have a dock so I dont know if this one has the same problem)

Enjoy the piccies.

Mine zcovers are on order, should be here any day now. I've opted for the black one as I have the black nano. Thanks for the piccies as you can't really get a feel for it on the zcover web site.

One tip I would get anyone think for getting one is to get the martine fields film protector and buy the zcover. This then means you don't have to add the plasic screen.

i have both a film and the hard plastic because I dont want peices of fluff and dust go underneath the rubber.
