>As for the delicate shell, I'd probably purchase a sleeve to go along with it, especially if it's going to be jostled around in my wife's handbag. But at the store, I accidentally dropped a Nano like 18 inches (clumsy me), but it was still playing music. Personally, I think that's more durable than the old iPods, which have miniature hard drives in them. Yup. Actually, they easily survive falls from 8 feet or more. -Z

"Personally, I think that's more durable than the old iPods, which have miniature hard drives in them." It should be. Other than cracking the display or something like displacing the battery, it should be pretty immune to drops. From what I have read, the plastic is very easy to scratch, so a sleeve is probably a wise investment. I am guessing the plastic used and is shot clear and colored at the same time is relatively soft. Most of the harder plastics that I know of that can be injection molded aren't transparent.
