Apple iPod Nano accessories

Jasmine France, Senior Associate Editor July 25, 2008

So you've managed to get your hands on one of the world's most popular MP3 players, the Apple iPod Nano. This sleek and stylish device will keep you plenty entertained for sure, but you'll soon realize there's a lot more fun to be had if you move beyond the confines of what comes in the box. For one thing, those stock Apple Earbuds aren't the best-sounding--or most comfortable--headphones to be had. The first step is to upgrade, and our top headphones list is an excellent place to start. Next, consider protecting your investment or even dressing it up a bit. GelaSkins are a great way to add personal style, and Belkin's Remix Metal hard case can shield the iPod from damage while not detracting from the stylishness of the player.

Thanks to its solid-state flash memory and compact design, the Nano is a perfect workout companion. Keep it out of the way and clean of sweat with the Grantwood Technology Tuneband, and consider tracking your fitness with the excellent Nike + iPod Sport Kit. And if you're really missing good, old terrestrial radio, add an FM tuner to the player with the Apple iPod Radio Remote. Finally, you can share tunes on the go with the ultra compact Creative TravelSound i80, which is designed to fit your 3G Nano like a glove.
