The OtterBox for the second-generation iPod Nano will protect the player from pretty much anything you can throw at it: dirt, water, razor blades. Indeed, you can even throw the player itself with impunity.

That sneaky Apple: moving the headphone jack on the second-generation Nano fractionally closer to the right edge of the player. You probably didn't notice this slight difference from the first-gen player, but you can be certain accessories makers like OtterBox did. In turn, the company has tweaked its ruggedized case for the Nano to accompany the change. Now, 2G Nano owners can enjoy the same all-encompassing protection for their players. This kind of assurance will set you back $39.95--not too bad for this ultimate (if bulky) protection.


The OtterBox really knows how to make a splash

Despite its cutesy animal name, the OtterBox is quite capable of protecting your Nano from anything you can throw at it. As a matter of fact, you can even throw the player itself while it's ensconced in this hard-core case. The OtterBox consists of a hard plastic clear casing, a removable belt clip, and a rather lovely playthrough membrane that allows you to easily control the player. The standard headphone jack will take any headphones, but if you want to use the OtterBox in the water, you'll need H2O Audio's waterproof headphones (sold separately). If you know you want to rock out in the water, consider going for the "package deal," which costs $87.85 and includes the OtterBox, the H2O Audio Headphones, and an armband.
