When I read Larry’s recent review of the new 7th-gen iPod nano, I noticed he said he was very disappointed the new nano didn’t have a clip on the back.  While digging around on Amazon, I found a cute little case that protects the iPod and adds a clip to the back.  The MiniSuit JAZZ Slim

I’ve reviewed a lot of Bluetooth keyboard cases for iPads, and most of them have the keyboard permanently attached inside the case.  You’re stuck with carrying the extra weight of the keyboard, even when you know you won’t be using it, and you’re also stuck with always using the keyboard and the iPad within inches
