I have an Ipod Nano. Old style- tall and thin. How can I tell what Generation it is?

Question

I am trying to get a new case for the now pase' Ipod Nano. It is a Black 2Gig, holds 500 songs. There are cases available from various sources on Amazon at closeout prices. I want to be sure that what I order fits the pod. They are labeled as 1G and 2G but that is the file size, not the Generation version.

Answer 1

Does it have a shiny metal backing, and squared sides? That is first gen.

Second generation has rounded sides, and is a dull metal all the way around.

Answer 2

Need more information! Your Nano could be two different things--the very first style that only came in white and black, or the newer old style that was tall and thin also but came in many colors. If you have the kind that only came in black and white, you have a first generation Nano. Tall and thin, but with many colors, second generation. The short little ones are third generation.

Answer 3

It's either 5G or 4G!
