Marware's Slyder is a transparent polycarbonate hardshell case for the second generation (2G) iPod nano -- with a twist. Or should I say "with a slide."

Transparent hardshell cases are appealing because they let you show off your colorful, sleek iPod while still keeping it protected from the occasional dings and scratches that befall us all. However, rather than providing a circular opening for the nano's Click Wheel, like most cases of its kind, the Slyder completely covers the Click Wheel when closed.

Constructed from resilient, transparent polycarbonate, the SeeThru is a hardshell case in two parts, joined together with a hinge at the case's top.
