 OK, well, it IS another iPod case. But it's one that I will keep using. First, I like the protection the sturdy leather gives to the delicate nano. I also like the form factor of the Pacific Design iPod nanoGo Wallet; it makes the nano easy to find in my bag, without adding much bulk or weight.
I really like that you can wrap your earbud wires (and tuck the phones behind a snap in the back); keeps them neat and untangled. And I like that it opens up on the side, so you can slip change, cards, or bills inside; there is also a plastic slot on the back for, say, an ID card, or any card you might want to have at hand quickly. I like the clip (there's also a wrist strap in the package). And I like the design. At left is Carbon Black; it also comes in Precious Pink (Ick! I don't like that name much). There you have it: I like the nanoGo more than most any case I've tried. I found it for $23.95 at Amazon; looks like it's more elsewhere.

One of my heroes, a man by the name of Alton Brown, says frequently that nothing he owns should be single use; everything (at least in his kitchen) pulls double duty! I like this with my technology-I don't like applications and products that only do ONE thing, unless I really need something that does one thing and does it very very well. This, on the other hand, looks good enough for me to buy one of the new Minis-er, I mean Nanos. Keeping it right next to my wallet would mean I'd never lose it, and I'd be more likely to listen to it while just walking around town. At the same time, it'll take some effort not to shove it in my back pocket like I do with my wallet now and wind up sitting on it. :( Poor nano.
