iPod Another iPod nano 4G case released

TheIntruder said:
Fake? No.

The pictures of the case were taken at the IFA consumer electronics trade show in Berlin, which opened on the 29th.

Hama is a German manufacturer of CE accessories and they've let the cat out of the bag by including their case for the new Nano in their booth display. Intentional or not, information about future developments do come out of trade shows.

It's not the first time an entity that should reside behind the wall of NDA has come out on the other side.

Something is brewing at Apple. I have a close relationship with a few Apple stores and they are "changing" something at the store. Of course they won't say but there was a hint of "check the site tomorrow." I hope they are right. Because the iPhone is getting tiresome. Could the new nano be published on the site tomorrow? Oh the waiting........
 
umm...Photoshop anyone?!?!?!

is it me or are there no shadows behind the case like there are behind the iphone?

the thumb in the other one barely seems to be touching the case and in an awkward position to be holding a case with that shape.

...just saying!
 
He is totally right!
Don't you guys see that it's a poor fake?
In the first picture the iPhone has a shadow and the "4 gen Nano case" has nothing, it looks like it was glued on. On the last picture the guy is holding something smaller that has been replaced by the mockup of the nano, half the thumb is covered, who holds things "over" the thumb?

Bad fake guys, look closer!!! :D
 
seriously?

I'm not saying the nano won't be like the rumors claim, but there's nothing about these pics that prove anything.

You have a guy holding a piece of curved plastic in one photo, then a closeup of some packaging without showing what's in the package.

This proves nothing.

i do agree, the ipod design and click wheel seem outdated in my mind.

Well , after using my ipod Touch for almost a year in my car I finally got my " old " 60 GB video ipod to work again ( the trick with the folded calling card between the battery and the hard disk go it running again ) and it´s back where it belongs .

So ,in my opinion the click wheel is not outdated by any means .

Saludos
 
Gosh everyone has a lot of hate for it. I think based on the cases it will look alright. I would consider purchasing one. :)
 
Actually looking closer at the photos they are both photoshopped - I call fake on this one.
 
I can't say if I like the 'rumored' new nano shape or not. Guess I will have to wait and see the final product (if it is true!)

That being said, I think the cases are all mock-ups - aka fakes. Something doesn't look right. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but the photos don't cut it. An elaborate hoax? I don't know.

I am sure a new nano design is on the way but I do not think it will be as curved (especially the screen) or come with a new smaller dock connector.

Let's hope whatever comes blows us all away. Not that I need another iPod on top of hte many I have in addition to a Touch and the iPhone, but hey, Apple make - I buy!
 
ya'll said i was wrong, told me i was stupid, and had no idea about what i was talking about. weeeeellllll.

told ya so , told ya so, told told told told told ya so

wow.......you still call it fake after ALL the supporting evidence. you must really hate the new design
 
No way

I'm absolutely certain that this case is NOT for a 4th Generation nano.
Apple don't even let 99% of their employees know about new designs, there is no way they're going to let some poxy little case maker know.
Anyone who produces accessories gets to know only when the rest of the world gets to know.
Apple are being just as secretive as ever about this latest release.

This is exactly what happened last year. I can almost guaruntee you this is the 4th gen nano.
 
I don't see that as photoshopped at all, his hand is merely holding the case so that not to obstruct the product. So is this image photoshopped too?

What I see is an empty case probably w/ a cardboard insert of the wheel for display purposes.
What I don't get is why you'd want a case w/ access to the wheel but has blocked off the screen.
Odd...

i think you'll find that it's one of those metallic/mirror cases, and the screen will shine through that dark coating.

The case just looks too 'perfect' as if it has been added after the fact.

And I don't know how you would watch a video through that case even if it does allow some light to shine through.

I still call fake on this one (basically because the dock connector has me a little questioning)

it looks anything but perfect the case, look at the side of the black plastic, it looks as if some dodgy scissors have been used, and the hole for the click wheel, on the left, that has been cut out wonkily too.. :rolleyes:

:apple: serious :apple: fan :apple:

Because I have a 1st gen iPhone (rock solid) and a 3G iPhone (POS) and am tired of Apple putting our product after product and not fixing the problems with their current product line.

I bought the 1st iPhone because I was tired of MS Mobile because it was a horrible interface and was and still is riddled with problems.

I'm seeing the same pattern with the iPhone 3G.

Just because I'm a Windows Guy doesn't mean I can't have a Mac Phone.
Good choice first time really BAD choice with the 3G.

That's why I'm in a Mac Forum. Why are you here other than to give me **** for my Screen Name?

Edit.
I've also owned every iPod since 1st Gen.

Didn't mean any offence, just seemed that most of your posts I've read were very negative, which could end up offending some loyalists.
 
Funny how people bashed the fatty before it was released, and now that they're seemingly going back to something more like the previous model, people like the fatty better.

I liked the fatty all along, and I still think it's a better design than this new one - turning it sideways is odd for the controls and seems very ZUNE.
