The Tunebase Direct costing $70 changes much of this problem. Not only does this accessory work with the iPhone, it also works with current generation iPod Nano and Touch models. This accessory is made, so that you can hear both your music and your phone through the car speakers, the Tunebase Direct mic picks up your voice.

The design of the Belkin Tunebase is well done. The iPhone and iPod mounting dock has been reconceived, now the user experience is simplified and the dock is more versatile. There is also a spare USB port that lets you recharge 2 iPods/iPhones at one time. You can hear the callers voice distinctly using the car speaker system.

There are a few problems with this system as well. This microphone is near your waist and the callers sound distant and there is interference. The audio is not completely clean either. The all in one design called for sonic sacrifices and they were made. This system cannot be highly recommended, however if you can make compromises to achieve iPhone car integration, you may want to check it out. Maybe wait for superior sequels to the Tunebase Direct if you so wish.

First, the fit. The case is a perfect fit for the iPod Nano. All the ports and switches have openings, making this accessory very convenient. If you are wearing it somewhere you do not need to worry about it looking bulky, just slip it on easily and be comfortable with it. The smoothness of the silicon makes it very comfortable. Yet, inspite of this smoothness, the sports sleeve will not slide on a smooth surface.

When you buy this iPod Nano accessory remember to look for the screen protector that comes packed with the sports sleeve. It is very handy. You can easily install it and it leaves no bubbles. If you do not put it on perfectly, it can be easily removed and refitted.

The one bad thing with this band is that after washing it a few times, it loses elasticity. If you are jogging and start sweating, it is difficult to tighten.

Other than that in quality, design and style it scores full marks.

Other than just a personal multimedia player, the iPod also has some accessories that you will want to purchase to make it even more powerful. One iPod accessory manufacturer is Belkin.
