Linux has proven itself to be a versatile solution across a variety of hardware architectures to support workloads ranging from basic infrastructure services to enterprise-class database deployments. Today, Linux is commonly found operating in some capacity within most larger organizations, and over time, it has captured many of the same workloads that previously were deployed aboard RISC platforms running Unix operating systems.

With a player as sleek and svelte as the third-generation iPod nano, it's a shame to hide it away in a bulky case that obscures the iPod's natural beauty. But at the same time, you want to keep your little bundle of joy protected from the harsh outside world. This week's case roundup takes a look at three clear plastic hardshell cases for your third-generation iPod nano that'll keep the music playing without skipping a beat.
Agent 18 Shield for 3G Nano
Simple and to the point, the US$20 Agent 18 Shield for 3G nano is a two piece clear hardshell case that covers the iPod from head to toe in thick, resilient polycarbonate. The bottom is left open so you can use the hold switch, headphone jack, and dock-connector port, and there's an opening for the Click Wheel. While much of the case has a "lightly-frosted" appearance, the window for the screen is left clear, as is a small square of plastic over the Apple logo on the nano's backside.
The front and back halves of the case simply snap together, and it's easy enough to open the case--in some cases perhaps a little too easy. In a couple of my early tests, tossing the nano onto a carpeted floor caused the case to come apart and the nano to fall out, but after I took the case apart and put it back together again, it seemed to hold up better. Still, it's something to beware of if you're considering buying this case.
Marware Sidewinder for iPod nano
Marware's made a number of Sidewinder cases for different iPod models and, like those, the version for the 3G iPod nano features an extendable arm that works as a cable wrap for your earbuds. In other regards, though, the $25 Sidewinder for iPod nano is a fairly ordinary clear plastic hardshell. There's an opening at the bottom for the hold switch, dock-connector port, and headphone jack, and one on the front of the case for the Click Wheel. Getting the nano into the case is different from many hardshells. Rather than having two pieces that snap together with the iPod in between, the Sidewinder has a little cover that pops off the top rear of the case. Then you can just slide the nano in and reattach the cover. That construction means the nano is less likely to fall out of the case by accident.
