Besides just being an awesome case to protect your nano, the X-Case also performs as a stabilizer and an ash pan for your nano using the X grooves which are built in. It also has room for storing a Carbon Felt pad which is useful for a variety of purposes including as a wind guard (using the L-Pins and Carbon Felt liner sold separately). Simply clear the area of combustibles, open up the X-Case & Nano, break up a few sticks and you’re ready to boil water for coffee or cook up a freshly caught trout dinner!
