You know we won't rest until we see every gadget either
diamond-encrusted,
gold-plated, or both. Do you hear us? Never!
This iPod nano case sports 580 diamonds set in
white gold, and luckily the $12,495 price tag includes a 4GB nano in the bargain.

At least the face won't get scratched now...
that'll take care of the scratching, i hope!
Well yeah, it does have a 10 on the Moh Hardness Scale.. unlike the normal iPod nano that I think has a -20 :P
Glad I got my 6GB Mini a couple days after the nano came out, that thing doesn't have a scratch on it and it's never been in a case.
It will scratch everything else instead of being scratched by everything.
what? no sapphire crystal for the screen? RIPOFF!
Finally! An iPod nano that scratches something else for a change.
Definitely don't pull that thing out in the subway...
At least the face won't get scratched now...
The Nano is *not* that thick. Fake....
Engadget gets owned again.
Seriously, this bling bling i-pod shit is becoming so damn lame.
Seriously, this bling bling i-pod shit is becoming so damn lame.
goddamn is there really a market for these things? who the hell buys them?
sorry Stoneman, but i dont remember diamonds being paper-thin.
F'ing yeah! Now I just need to save up 12.5 grand.. And it's gonna be all mine!!!
What is with your facsination with diamond encrested gadgets, engadget?
Vectorbug, diamond encrusted gadgets are just so.... umm.. 'newsworthy'?
It is Engadget's duty to show has blinged-out tech gadgets and Hello Kitty stuff or no one else will!
I can imagine it now...
Buy our case and get a free iPod nano.
Whoa? How much does the case cost?
$12,495
Just dont drop it. For the price of 1 diamond encrusted ipod nano you could get almost 50 4gig nanos, either way the thing plays music. ill keep the 12,245 and spend it on a life time of ipods
Hey, at least it won't get scratched now.
can we have 1 more scratch joke please.
yo...if i had 12grand 2 burn on a nano...i wudnt b in univ...i wudnt even need an mp3 player...i'd b drivin cars that wud b worth more than ppl have ever made in their lives. and my friends would b rollin in $400,000 cars. this is garbage...whoever has this much money 2 burn on a nano wont get it...they have better things 2 do with 12grand.
Yo. I think you need to spend some more time in "univ."
Seeing that your spelling and grammar could use just a little bit of work. Good luck with that.
Okay. Here's another scratch joke:
Q: What gets scratched easier than an iPod Nano?
A: 2 iPod Nanos!!
:P
Why use a black ipod nano? why not a white one??
Man i Have a hard enough time taking my w800i and ipod out of the streets, who has that much time and money for a diamond encrusted 12 grand ipod nano?
#9:
You realize that it's a case... right?
Yo! Whussup DjDunz in da PLACE! Dis naNo wud b pHat man. Wud get nuff respeK an ting wiv all dem hos cruZin out da yard. ChEk meh me sayin'. all dem honeyZ wud b crawlin ova ma hood. Iz gettin 1 now. Yuz all b jealouz ov da Dunz man. If u lucky I may buyz u 1 if uz a hot bitchz.
Nanoz 4 lyfe. yo!
Let's see, I could spend 12,500 on a new diamond encrusted iPod nano, or I could do something like this:
New iPod Nano: $250
New Honda Interceptor: $10500.
And I'd still have over $1000 to spend on the insurance policy for the Honda.
Thing is, no one with any style or sense would buy this thing (it's a case the Nano sits in, not diamonds attached to it). The Nano on its own has more style and class than this tacky bit of jewellery - no matter how much it costs (money isn't everything!).
The only people that would buy this are those that think gold shell suits and 'bling' are fashionable. Style is all about looking good without having to shine it up, less is more etc.
Anyone buying this should be laughed at and pitied, not adorned over.
Addtion: the fact they've put a black Nano in there for the product shot instead of a white one shows they haven't a clue.
This is just what I've been looking for! Thanks for this story. Engadget is da bomb!

i am disturbed that ipod nanos exist in the first place. in my days you were lucky if you could afford a phonograph! try carrying one of those around you lazy bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but what disturbs me more is that i don't understand the language our youth are speaking, e.g., DjDATZ (23) and Dobber (#28)!
DjDATZ, child what "univ" do you go to [i hope i am not an alumni there]?
