Kickster Adds Stand, Handle and Case to iPod Nano

Kickster Adds Stand, Handle and Case to iPod Nano

Quirky continues to impress us with a long run of ‘community designed’ accessories, the latest being the Kickster — yet another iPod Nano case. Quirky’s take, though, is less case and more all-in-one accessory kit.

Quirky, if you don’t remember, takes design submissions from the public, hones them within 24 hours by opening them up to the community, and then takes orders. Buyers commit and get charged when enough orders have been made and the product hits the factory lines. Everyone who helped gets a cut.

The Kickster is a clear case for the new 5th-gen Nano, and although cheaper ($14.35) than most other cases, it packs a lot in. First, and most obvious, is the kick-stand, which twists and flips to stand the Nano in either portrait or landscape format. It also works as a steadying handle for shooting video, a kind of nano-steadycam, if you will.

Next to the stand are two cord-wrapping cleats, and inside is shock-absorbing silicone, and there are holes punched in the plastic case to let sound and video into the mic and camera.
