After many rumors about the new design of upcoming iPod Nano, Engadget Spanish has unearthed some solid proof!

They have discovered some new iPod cases from Hama which are meant for the upcoming Nano at it's stand at IFA. Though they were unable to get any technical information about the upcoming Nano, they were able to gather details about the price and release date of cases.

The shape of the cases gives us quite some idea about the design which seems to quite similar to one proposed by Kevin Rose, the co-founder of Digg. It's going to have an ugly long structure with a curved front (yuck ).

There are some colored cases which points towards the upcoming colors and some cases with red click wheel make us think about U2 version!

Here is some information about the cases (in spanish):

Las fundas que hemos podido ver son las siguientes:

• Mod Nº 23559: La típica funda de silicona que protege el producto de pequeños golpes y ralladuras. Está disponible desde ya mismo y tiene un precio de 10 euros. Se la podrá conseguir en azul, blanco, rosa y negro (la click wheel mostrada en esta carcasa era roja, ¿Edición U2?
• Mod Nº 23519: Una funda de plástico cromado, que oculta la pantalla cuando ésta esté apagada. Una vez en funcionamiento se vería sin problemas a través del espejo. Incorpora un clip para colgar. En el stand no tienen información de este modelo (miraron en el ordenador), así que de momento ni fecha de lanzamiento ni precio.
• Mod Nº 23519: Un modelo de cuero para los que prefieran más seriedad y robustez. Dentro de 7 semanas saldrá al mercado a un precio de 17 euros.

who all really likes the shape and overall design of this supposed new ipod?? i feel this is a step back.. people aren't gonna buy a nano to watch wide screen videos.. they buy them for their small compact size..

for whatever reason that particular case makes me feel as though it was inspired by alien technology..
