A-1 iKeychain cases

thts sux, they dont ship to canada.. and this is one of the only cases i was interested in :( :

At this time, KeychainPod.com ships merchandise only to locations within the United States and not to international locations. The risk of loss and title for all merchandise ordered on this Web site pass to you when the merchandise is delivered to the shipping carrier.

Whao, I like them too. I wonder if they're shipping now.

If you like it, wait a little while. There are going to be TONS of cases available shortly. China's good for that sort of thing... ;)

i had finally made up my mind on this case, started entering my info only to find they dont ship to canada!!!

and i was ready to dish out the cash! damnit im ####ed, haha



i know.. same here!!

I'm going to order one of these in the next few days. I'm waiting back for an email to see if they have black/black.

For you Canada people, if you have Paypal accounts and want to take the risk, I'll order what you want and them ship them to you.

This is the classiest/best case I've seen so far and it would suck to not be able to order it.

Let me know.

I went ahead and ordered one of these. I was going to get all black, but then looked at them again and went with black-front/polished-back. That kind of mimics what the nano looks like.

And they said that they *are* acception orders from Canada (not sure about other countries). The website just isn't set up for it yet. You just need to call/email them about your order and they'll set it up by email.

Just be warned that they're really swamped in the customer service department. I still haven't gotten an email back from a couple of days ago about whether they had black/black. I had to call.

Talked to a really nice guy named Joe who was very helpful.

Good luck!

how much is shipping to canada?

Don't know. When I was computing ground shipping from me to Canada, it came to about $10. So maybe $15? Just a guess.

They charged me $10 S&H for parcel post.

nice!! ya post pics. i havent ordered mine yet.

..is your black front anodized? or easily do u think the polished part would scratch?

Whoops! Got busy at work. I'll try to take some tonight.

I like everything about the case except that the inside of the case seems to have scratched up the front of my nano in a few spots. Nothing major, but kind of a pain. It seems to be more like contact spots right at the bottom of the scroll wheel.

I'll try to get a picture.

How long did it take to ship? I ordered it on the 30th, and I haven't heard from them.

What color did you order? I know they were out of blue when I called.

I ordered on Wednesday afternoon, using parcel post. They called me at 10:00 that night (not kidding) to make sure the order was right because there was some confusion. She said she had upgraded it to priority mail (fine with me!) and it was going in the mail. I got it on Monday.

You might want to call them. I emailed them twice and never got replies, but had good conversations with Joe on the phone.

They're really nice, I just think they're getting slammed.

Forgot to answer this one. Yes, the front is black anodized. The back has some mild scuff marks, but not any real scratches. It's holding up as well as I would have expected...

Well, you're right <b>Opus</b>, that calling them is a lot better than emailing. The guy said that they just got a batch of the chrome backings in, and they'll be sending it out today. Sounds kinda shady to me, but as long as I get it, I don't care.

Also, general question, what's inside the case? Is there a lining? I'm thinking of putting on the Invisible Shield on the nano. Will it fit? Thanks.

There's nothing inside the case at all, just pure metal. The nano moves around just a bit, so I think there'd be plenty of room for a vinyl-type lining.

Yeah, they're kind of iffy on the professionalism bit. I called late Friday and also on Monday, and both times they had their calls transferred to some guy's cell phone. Kind of funny. :eek:

How long do these guys take to reply to e-mails? Also, I see two or three different e-mail addresses. Which one am I supposed to write to?

I got good responses when I called, but never got a peep when I went through email. It turned out that my case was missing a magnet, and the representative first tried to get me to ship it back without getting a replacement first. I talked her into sending me a replacement with a mailing envelope to return the defective one, as is usual for a lot of web stores. She apologized and said that they're still getting the return policy down pat and that I was the first to request an exchange.

BTW, the case is really attractive, but I have two small scratches on my nano because of it: 1 just below the screen and 1 just below the clickwheel. I've ordered displex to get the scratches out and I've got the invisibleshield to apply afterwards. In fact, if the invisibleshield works as well as they say, I just may go with that and throw $50 down the drain.

Well, after coming back to this post I realized I never posted any images. Oh well.

1) I really like my case. Except:

2) The inside of the case scratched the nano. =(

3) The case just paid for itself. I was moving some monitors around on my desk and accidentally sat one down on my nano. It's a huge, heavy 21 inch Dell. But, no problem! hehe.
