My Nano felt like a piece of China when I first got it and had no cover for it. I finally found a rubber skin that has a plastic window for the display. It now feels like I could throw it across the room and it wouldn't damage it. The tendancy to scratch was my only beef; w/ the rubber skin it's now perfect. Although I love my wife's Mini too. Either way. Win/Win.

I use my shuffle when i work out. Think about it, you have absolutely NO worries on whether something scratches it. because there is nothing on it. i wouldn't risk jumping around, running, etc with such a nice, fragile piece of engineering like the nano

For the Ipod Video, I think you can buy an accessory and then play the videos you have on your TV. Anyone know of the thing I'm talking about?

It's the $20 video cable. Of course, if you have a camcorder that has a 3.5mm to RCA cable for output to the TV, you can save yourself some money and use that cable instead. It is the same cable, but on the iPod version Apple changed up which cable goes to which output. You wind up having to connect the red cable to the yellow on the TV, yellow cable to red jack and white cable to red jack.

I thought it was call the Ipod Dock or whatever

I just ordered the 4GB white model. I didn't much care for any of the arm bands or covers Apple carried. I'll swing by BB after it arrives and see what I can find.
