ClickCase for your iPod 5g or iPod nano

We searched for a nice leather case for the iPod. We were looking for a case that we would be proud to sell under the Small Dog Electronics brand.

I would get samples in about every other day. Some were just shoddy, others smelled awful and still others Hapy would look at, tug at them a little bit and they would fall apart in his hands.

I told one of my far-east suppliers that I was looking for a high-quality leather case and they said “Oh! You want the high quality case” Soon, I had a case that met all of my criteria in my hands.

It was top quality cowhide, the stitching was solid and the details were great. There were two other criteria that I had in mind as I chose the iPod cases. One was the closure. I wanted a simple magnetic closure so that it was very easy to open the case to get at your iPod controls. The small sewn-in magnet let to the name ClickCase as the case can be opened or closed with a flick of your wrist.

The other criteria that was important was how the belt clip was attached. I know that some people like using the belt clip and others do not. I didn’t want a big protuberance on the back of the case for the clip but wanted to add that versatility. The cases we chose have a sewn-in nut to accept the belt clip. Be sure to tighten the screw if you want to use this clip.

The last finishing touch was to get a paw-print embossed on each case. They are all finished and are beautiful and totally functional iPod cases to protect your 5g or iPod nano. Available in Black, Natural or Crimson, too!

  • Guide to External Storage

    I’m in love with my hard drives. They really are miraculous devices, storing billions of bytes and copying that data to and from drive to drive at amazing speeds. I realize that the world of external storage is pretty vast, with lots of names and terms and numbers, and thought it would be good to do a quickly summarize the differences between external drives.

    The first distinction I make between external drives is their physical size. The case around the actual drive may vary in size but there are only two sizes of hard drives–2.5-inch laptop drives and 3.5-inch desktop drives. Desktop drives require more power than can be supplied via USB or FireWire, and so they are considered “desktop” hard drives because you need to plug them into power separately.

    Laptop drives often can run off USB power supplied by a USB port, so they are considered more portable. Just like comparing laptops and desktops, you will generally get more performance and space out of a desktop drive than you would from a laptop drive.

    If you ever work with large amounts of video or want to play media off of an external drive, then a faster RPM (revolutions per minute) is worth buying. If you are just trying to keep your files backed up, then a lower RPM drive will work fine. The two specifications of drive speeds on the consumer market right now are 5400 and 7200 RPM.

    The third thing to check is the connection type of the external drive. Most drives use only USB, but some drives offer FireWire 400, 800, and/or eSATA. For general backup, USB is perfect because it’s fast, reliable, and can be plugged into almost any computer made in the last 5-10 years.

    FireWire is a connection also known as IEEE 1394. As anyone who works with video knows, FireWire is often required to download video from a camcorder or videocamera. Drives that have FireWire are generally more professionally geared because FireWire is a lower latency connection that makes transferring lots of small files faster than USB.

    eSATA is a very fast data connection but does not supply power. eSata is the fastest type of connection commonly seen in external drives, but Apple does not build this port into its computers at this time.
