Hey all,

I have a 2nd gen Nano, and I've narrowed down my choices to the iSkin Duo (aluminum), and the Core Case aluminum.

iSkin Duo
I like the fact that this case covers almost everything. I also really like that it comes with a belt clip since I will be using this at the gym. The aesthetics are... okay. I have a black Nano, and I would have preferred if the silicone skin was tinted black (like the Special Edition). Furthermore, the iSkin logo, which is right on the front, is quite the eyesore.

Core Case Aluminum
I really like the way this case looks. What I don't like is that it leaves even more areas exposed. To be on the safe side, I'd probably pair this with something like the Invisible Shield. More of an issue for me is that there's no belt clip. Outside of pockets, how do you guys carry this thing around? I've considered an armband for when I go to the gym, but I worry that it will be a nuisance. I mean, the armband would be great for when I'm running, but not so much for when I'm doing power lifting exercises.

The funny thing is, I've heard so many great things about their customer service that I'd probably order it directly from them online. This is despite the fact that I can buy it from a local computer store (although I must admit that I had a less than positive experience with them in the past).

If anyone can please provide some insight, it'd be very much appreciated. Thanks!
