When it comes to electronic gizmos, size matters — and this is one realm in which bigger is rarely better. The new touch-screen iPod Nano, then, is 46% smaller and 42% lighter than its predecessor — heck, it's even tinier than a Cheez-It cracker! But, when you have something so precious and so petite, you have to be extra careful about safeguarding it. If you toss it inside your hobo bag, you might spend hours searching for it to no avail (our purses tend to be bottomless pits, after all!). If you tuck it inside your pant pocket, it might slip out and leave you in music-less tears. And do you really want to clip this tiny device to your shirt or jacket, practically taunting would-be pick-pockets, luring them to swipe it off your body and head for the hills?
Thankfully, HEX provided the missing piece to this tech puzzle, creating a watch band that integrates the iPod Nano into its design. Rather than some dowdy nylon strap on which to clip on your petite portable music player, each HEX Watch Band is designed so that you can pop the iPod Nano into the watch case and secure it in place (and, of course, you can pop the device out when necessary). Each watch is made of premium silicone and features honeycomb-like grooves all along the strap, integrated control buttons, and an audio port for headphones.
The HEX Original Watch Band is available in nine funky colors ranging from a periwinkle blue to a neon lime green and a tangerine orange. Fashion, function and a modest price tag? Believe it!
HEX Watch Band for iPod Nano, $29.95. Available at ShopHEX.com
