OKAY this nano is useless without a belt clip!

i was walking around, this thing is so small and light it moves around in my pocket, and pulls on the headphone wires that in turn pull on my ear. I have to carry this thing around in my hand until then...

at least its light, and really trendy, so i dont look like a douche holding it in my hand...

i have the same problem with the headphones. quite annoying. the Belkin case that has a belt clip would be damn sweet if the Nano was flipped upside-down.

what belkin case? i wasnt aware that there were belt clip accessories available for the nano yet

in any case, this is the one accessory i definitely need and will buy, no armbands, no other ####.

that belkin one looks great as just a belt clip case.

i dont like them, they cover the whole case, i just need a simple, glue-on, or something clip that i can put on the back, this is so sleek and small, i dont need a huge case adding to its dimensions and weight, just something to anchor it to my pocket...

i'm gonna go to best buy and see if they have cellphone belt clips that i can use...

I'm hoping for something like Xtreme Mac's superclip for Shuffle. Simple, effective. Maybe they'll make one for the Nano soon.

I e-mailed the company, but all they said was to join the mailing list to be notified of upcoming products. Personally, I preordered the Speck Skin Tight Deluxe, but I'd love to be able to use a skin with a belt clip like the SuperClip, but with all this scratch talk, I might be glad that it's a fully protective case with the clip.

i need something that goes INSIDE my pocket, but anchors it to the pocket, kind of clip, not a belt clip. i dont want to be one of those losers who hang an ipod on their belt for the world to see.

Thanks for calling me a loser :) I only use the belt clip on the waist band of my gym shorts. I also don't like people with cell phones clipped to their belt. I actually saw a guy with a fully sized iPod, a cell phone, and a pager all clipped to his belt! That was ridiculous.

Anyway, you could do what I do when I use the belt clip with my Shuffle mowing the lawn - just put it in your pocket and clip it to the pocket, so you can't see, but it's attached to your pocket. Do you know what I mean?

sorry, sometimes my emotions get the best of me. my original samsung yepp was a great and nifty player, and samsung even through in a pocket clip that was just perfect and discrete, unlike apple.

what i really like about the nano is today was wearing my cordoroy (sp?) pants and one of the pockets and a mini change pocket inside it, and was the perfect size for the nano. Just this pant and my jeans have this pocket, but when they are in it, the nano doesnt feel like anythign at all. i couldnt feel my keys in the left pocket pulling me down, but the nano, i couldnt even feel it. It reminded me of that tampon commerical that goes "so comfortable, you cant even feel 'em" except this device doesnt collect menstual fluid. but i digress.

basically, what i realized is i want JUST a clip that will add only the most mininal amount of weight possible, so that I can have this "wearing a tampon" feeling in any pair of pants i choose to wear...

Dude, that is just wrong! How do I unlearn that? But wait, you're calling people with belt clips a loser, but you wear corduroy and carry a "mini change pocket"!?!? I'm just joking.

Like I said, I had the ExtremeMac SuperClip with a vinyl skin for my Shuffle and I thought it was perfect how it didn't add any bulk to it, but protected it (not that the Shuffle needs much protection) and the clip worked perfect.
