The Luxeline Snakeskin Case for the iPod Nano by Case-Mate is not for everyone. If you like snakeskin or reptiles, this might be the case for you. The case I got for review is called Glamour and is mostly a white snakeskin leather with gray scales in spots.
Looks aside, the case is one of the more protective cases I have tried for any iPod. The outside is snakeskin leather, and Case-Mate states that no two are exactly alike. The inside has a textured rubber-like surface that protects your Nano from scratching when inserting the iPod or removing it. It also keeps the iPod from sliding out of the case. The case itself is a hard case and is fairly thick for an iPod case. It definitely feels like it will do a good job protecting the iPod Nano.
I tested the case with a first generation Nano, and it fit perfectly. It was easy to put into the case, and just as easy to remove. Ports are easily accessed through the opening in the bottom of the case. The case is not compatible with the new iPod Nanos, but I have been told that the company is working on new cases for that line.

You MacBook Pro and PowerBook owners need to get a grip.
On your laptop, that is.
I’ve owned various and sundry incarnations of Apple laptops, starting with the PowerBook 100, and the only times I’ve had near-drop experiences has been while carrying them around. I’ve never had slippery fingers when taking the computer out of the carrying bag. But I’ve had several exciting experiences while toting my mobile Mac from room to room.
I’ve been using a review copy of Case-mate’s handle-it (why do both the company name and the product name use hyphens?) for a week, and love it.
handle-it is a convenient carrying handle that attaches to the hinge end of your MacBook Pro or PowerBook with four screws. Case-mate includes the proper screwdriver. Simply remove the four screws from the bottom case, hold the handle in place, and screw in the four screws from Case-mate. If this is too complicated for you, then you probably can’t run a can opener.

If you are looking to buy a new case for either your iPod nano or the full size iPod Video, you can’t go wrong with a Case-Mate. Both the nano and Video iPod versions are identical to each other in craftsmanship and esthetics; the only difference is size and $5.00 in price. So rather than talk about each separately, I’m combining them into one review.
