These cool cases fit both the 1st and 2nd generation Nano’s, and they are damn cool. There you go, all that needs to be said in one sentence. Yet, I’m way too talkative to only tell you that much. These cases are made by hollowing out one whole side of a cassette tape, while leaving the other side intact with ...
