Sleeves for nanos, too
Not only does the iPod nano now rock the Doom kasbah, but Apple has started shoving them in little white soft fabric sleeves, just like those included with the 5G iPods.When I called Steve Jobs about this earlier today, Steve said,* "Every time I shoved the little sucker in my jeans, it kept coming out with more and more scratches! And this was stone-washed, too! So I called up Ives and said, 'Ivy, baby. We gotta sleeve the little ones too!'"
*Note: This a total fabrication and lie. No such conversation ever occurred.

... So now us early worms just lost out on the cheapie but useful sleeves. Shucky darns! And I just (finally) bought a case for my wife's Nano (we kept the protective plastic facing on the Nano for a month)! Good intentions on Apple's part...

Are the 5gs less susceptible to scratching than the nano? I just ordered a white and I know it hides wear better than black, but I'm upgrading from a mini which is built like a tank...

I called Apple this evening on this, asking for a sleeve. I wrote about it, and my amazing outcome.

I just called apple about the nano sleeve and they told me that it doesn't exist. All that they offer for the nano is the tubes and the armband. Can anyone help me out here? should i call back?
