What I like about Pacific Design’s iPod Nano Uptown Clutch Wallet, is that it's not just an iPod Nano case, and that it combines good visual and functional design. I am down with it; retailing for just $29.99 it seems less expensive than other iPod cases whose only purpose is to protect the precious MP3 player.

The "Nano case–wallet combo" features a built-in, dual-access iPod nano case; slots for up to four I.D. or credit cards; my favorite feature, the Ear-bud/cord mesh storage pouch; a billfold; and finally, a small bus pass or credit card pocket inside front flap.

The iPod Nano Uptown Clutch Wallet comes in two different styles. The first one offers a full brown or black leather exterior, with cross-hatched stitching over a quilted inset, while the second model is crafted from Italian-sourced faux leather, with perforated inset, in red, blue, and pink.

The Clutch wallet can be purchased at ebags.com and kolobags.com.
