Smartwrap earphones plus#

This case is a durable silicone-grip style case which completely covers the iPod except for the screen, ports, and 'hold' switch. The silicone grips were the best form-factor, but I couldnt find one that offered good accessibility to the controls and ports while continuing to provide wearability via a lanyard or clip.įinally, I stumbled onto the 'Loop Nano' on the site of the designer/manufacturer Sumajin. The adhesive skins were neat, but they lacked the lanyard and clips. The hard-plastic cases were very utilitarian and had multiple wearing options, but they were too - umm - plasticky. I looked at the so-called hard-plastic cases, adhesive skins, and silicone 'grips', but each lacked something. This took away one of the major reasons why I wanted it in the first place so, I began to research other products. The resulting form-factor of adding this case was nearly double the thickness of the original iPod Nano.

However, after a while the bulk of the leather case began to be bothersome. I used it for a little over two weeks, and the case functioned as-advertised.

Upon receiving it, the case seemed perfect. So instead I searched and found one on an eBay Store for a lower price. The case was identical to the ones I had tried at the local stores, it was very durable, provided excellent protection, included a simple lanyard, and had a nice magnetic snap to close the case. I had seen several at Fry's, Best Buy, and the like, but most were pricey at around $30. My first attempt, was to buy a black-leather case with a built-in screen-protector. There are numerous screen-protectors on the market like those used for PDA's, cellphones, and camera LCD's, however, in this case, I wanted something to protect the whole iPod. This is mostly a problem on and around the screen, which inevitably lead me to researching some kind of a screen protector. My preference was Apple's Lanyard Headphones, but for $39 they were overpriced, and the sound quality of the headphones wasnt acceptable.Īlso, after a short period of use I noticed that the clear polyurethane coating on top of the iPod Nano has a tendency to accumulate scratches.

My preference has always been some sort of lanyard neck-band because I really didnt feel comfortable with something worn on the wrist or arm - plus I already had a pager and phone on my belt, so I couldnt fathom adding yet another belt clip. First, I wanted to be able to wear the iPod during exercise or while on-the-go.

(The company also sells replacement foam earbud covers in red, blue, orange, green, and yellow.After receiving my new iPod Nano (4gb/white) for xmas, I rapidly felt a need to accessorize. 9″ in size and is available in white, clear, black, orange, blue, green, purple, red, and pink to match any headphone cable. Made of silicone rubber, the Smartwrap is 2.8″ x. We’ve been using our review units at the gym and have discovered that it’s much easier to work out when your headphone cables aren’t getting caught on weights or wrapped around cardio equipment! The Smartwrap doesn’t add much weight to your headphone cable, and when you’re done listening, you can wrap the rest of your headphone cable around the Smartwrap for storage. You simply run your headphone cable through the notch at one end, wrap it around the body of the Smartwrap until you’ve eliminated unnecessary slack, and then run it through the second notch at the other end - your cable is only as long as it needs to be. Sumajin’s Smartwrap is a headphone cable organizer that can help you avoid wrestling with such wires. The problem with headphones is that they have cables.
