Griffin To Slap the Apple iPod Nano into a Wristwatch

Adjust text size:

Ever since Apple released their latest iPod nano iteration (6'th generation), I couldn't help but notice just how much this thing resembles an electronic watch (at least as far as the form factor is concerned), as well as the fact that, with the right accessories, it could actually be turned into one.

And, in fact, that's exactly the type of product we'll talk about as follows, namely the Griffin Slap, a special case for the iPod nano that goes around one's wrist and provides a comfortable wear at all times.

The Griffin Slap is, in fact, a memory-metal wristband coated with soft silky silicone material, this combination enabling not only a tight fit at all times, but also a higher level of comfort when worn for extensive periods of time.

Since it's been designed specifically for the 6'th generation nano, this thing also packs a generous frame of silicone that holds the iPod securely and shrugs off bumps and jolts, while in the same time keeping safe that all-important multi-touch display.

In fact, the Slap protects the dock connector and volume controls but leaves the headphone port open so users can plug in and listen any time.

And Speaking of time, they can also press the Sleep/Wake button through the frame to check the time or control iTunes, the watch face display of the iPod nano turning the Slap into a handy classic timepiece.

Last, but certainly not least, it's very important to point out that the Griffin Slap sells for just around 24.99 US dollars, which, to be perfectly honest, is quite an affordable price point, given the fact that we're dealing with a fun and attractive accessory, that will certainly make some heads turn when worn in public venues, together with Apple's 6'th generation iPod nano, of course.
