Editorial Reviews:

The HipCase for the iPod nano is a folio-style case that gives you complete body protection, a padded flip-up cover with hidden inner pocket, a leather-covered belt clip, and total iPod access--all in one sleek leather package.

Small, Sleek, and Sophisticated
Constructed of fine-quality leather and featuring a soft fabric-lined interior, the HipCase surrounds your iPod nano with sophisticated protection. Flip open the padded cover to reveal a clear, play-through window for added screen and click wheel protection. Even when closed, you have total access to the earbud jack.

The The HipCase's sturdy, leather-covered belt clip ensures that your iPod nano will always be within easy reach. And with its clean lines and stylish construction, the HipCase is the perfect accessory--from a suit and tie to jeans and a T-shirt. Clipped securely to your belt or your backpack, the HipCase protects your iPod nano in style.

Summary: Perfect for my needs
Comment: I searched for longer than expected to find a case for my iPod with a belt clip. This product does the job great. The ipod slides in easily and you can access the switch, headphone jack and the connection port with ease. Contrary to other reviews, it is easy to remove if needed, but there is no reason to as you can plug in the connector. The plastic over the wheel seems to work fine (as well as an armband case that I have anyway) but it would be easy to remove if needed. Plus you have the leather flap cover with a magnetic closure to protect it. With the flap cover, I don't have to click that little switch every time to pause or change volume - Nice!.
I wanted a case with a belt clip as I use it in the Gym and working around the house and yard. I find it great for podcasting as you can easily access it and change programs without having to disconnect headphone wires. Looks like a miniature leather billfold. Very Happy!

Summary: Altamente recomendado
Comment: Yo compre este estuche para tenerlo en la cartera y un armband para usarlo cuando salgo a correr. Al final solo uso este estuche, no necesito cambiarlo segun la ocasion como tenia pensado inicialmente.
Lo tengo hace 10 meses y sigue como nuevo. El cuero es excelente.
El protector de plastico no molesta al momento de usar los botones del ipod.
Lo unico que cabe destacar es que para cargar hay que sacar del estuche, cosa que para mi no es un problema.

Summary: Nice case for the price
Comment: I agree with most of the other reviews on here. The case is really quite nice, well made quality leather and fits the ipod snugly. Makes a beautiful, classy appearance to the eye. Only complaint is the fact that you have to remove the ipod from the case (which is not an easy task) every time you want to connect it to your computer. I haven't been as daring as everyone else in trying to 'doctor' up the case (by slicing through the leather) and don't think I will try it. I will use it as is.

Summary: Fatal flaw
Comment: I have the DLO HipCase Folio for the iPod Nano and although it has some good features, it has a fatal flaw in that the back ripped apart after only a couple months of use. Fortunately the clip held, but this shouldn't happen.

I emailed DLO about this problem and received no repsonse.

It is also very difficult to adjust the volume with the click wheel. Half the time I end up changing the selection I am playing.

Summary: Great case with alterations
Comment: This case is everything I wanted, but with two alterations. Love the leather feel and the magnetic flap. It's great to wrap the earphones around. The belt clip works just the way I wanted it to work, since I clip in to the bib of my work overalls. But there was no opening to plug the big connector to the bottom of the nano and the clear plastic cover over the selector wheel was too much. Nothing an exacto knife couldn't fix, if you get my drift. Love it, now. Perfect for me.
