BelchCo.com has begun taking pre-orders for carbon fiber cases designed to protect Apple's second-generation iPod nano. The company also announced that it will release cases for the first-generation iPod nano, as well as 30GB and 60GB fifth-generation video iPods. Constructed from high quality carbon fiber, BelchCo.com's protective covers allow the iPod to slide in on the right side, and the left side features a unique style of carbon fiber that acts as a hinge. Protective tabs adorn the top and bottom to keep the iPod secure inside while maintaining full access to controls and ports. Case interiors are coated to hold the iPod firmly in place. The cases are scheduled to ship January 15th, and are priced at $50.
