The 5th has a larger screen and smaller control pad. I had read a few reviews from people claiming it didn't fit their iPods. I wanted something to insulate a little bit to keep that from happening too. NOT 5TH. I love this case.
And no, they're not the same. This case does both jobs well. I didn't want to scratch up my new iPod and also when I went running in the cold, something in my iPod would contract that would make the battery meter drop and the iPod would turn off. I converted from the zune, for which I had a similar case from Belkin. When I got home and it warmed back up, it would turn back on and have nearly full battery.
It's for 4TH GENERATION IPOD NANOS.
Absolutely useless and a waste of the $19 I spent. I thought Belkin was a good company, but this case is cut in a way that does not let me access the bottom of the trackwheel and so I cant turn my Ipod off. Do NOT buy this product.
So i open the acrylic case and put my new ipod nano in there and the circle to change songs and volume doesnt match up to the one on the belkin case.i mean shouldnt they test to see if the ipod fits correctly in it before the money grubbing workers send their product out.nope just ship it out as soon as they can wether the product is right or wrong.i highly tell you to not buy this product.i hate it but it does protect the ipod but it doesnt line up.
A very good design and very worth the price. It fits very snug so there is practically no movement. The only parts exposed are the hold switch and the data and headphone jack. Some reviews have said it is tough to switch to hold mode, but even though I would classify myself as having short fingernails and "pudgy" fingers, I have no trouble. I wanted something that was very sturdy and competley covered all aspects of my 16GB Nano. This does it. I notice no difference when using the click wheel, even though it is covered as well.
I only hope that Belkin continues to make this case for my new Nano 5th generation. It also has extended nubs at the bottom outer edges that help protect the Nano's bottom, while still allowing access to the sync and earbud ports. The case snaps together securely, and is easy to pop apart thanks to a tab at the top back section of the case. While a bit on the pricey side, this is a high-quality case that instills confidence that the iPod is completely protected. It fits snuggly, and protects all but the syncing port.
The one oddity I have encountered is a rainbow effect across the screen while wearing sunglasses, but I believe this effect would happen with any clear acrylic case. So far I have never had the case come apart unintentionally. I like the fact that the top is covered (unlike the Griffin iClear cases). In my opinion, this is the BEST acrylic case for the Nano. As others have mentioned, the hold button is a bit hard to operate since I have large fingers, but manageable using my pinky, and worth the minor inconvenience to have the top fully protected.
Rather than docking my Nano, I use the mini-plug port to plug it into my home and cars stereos, and have had no problems with any mini-plug I've used with this case.
