There are countless products on the market designed specifically to fix your iPod Nano securely to your wrist. The Nanolet by Curve Creative boasts the very same function, but manages to pull it off with less material, less weight and a much more streamlined appearance.
The start-up industrial design studio aimed to shed bulk compared to competing iPod wristbands, providing as thin an accessory as possible that would showcase the iconic compact mp3 player. The square touchscreen face exudes the slick look of a hi-tech timepiece which simply requires a reliable case and the means to make it into a handy bracelet. Fastener-free, the open loop of the Nanolet by Curve Creative maintains its 3D-printed shape but broadens flexibly to accommodate putting it on and taking it off.
