The iSkin Shuffle Duo’s form-fitting, contoured design leaves all control buttons accessible, as well as the operation status and battery lights visible. Utilizing the two layers of high-grade silicone that combine to create the ultimate barrier against dust, dirt and even moisture, the 0.5mm inner layer is designed to protect the control click wheel and rear battery test button, while the 1.5mm outer layer provides the brawn to protect all other vital areas. The iSkin features an integrated headphone port cover and includes a neck strap. Easily snaps the neck strap into the iSkin Shuffle Duo and unlike the original neck strap that came with the iPod shuffle, there is no need to switch USB caps.
Customer Review: Good product - Poor Company
Buyers please beware if you think you may have questions about this item, or may happen to need any assitance if there is something wrong with your order. Please also note that what it tells you in the descritpion may not be what you are likely to receive.

I ordered this product, but mine said in the description that it came with headphones that matched the skin as well as a lanyard. What I received was the Adrenaline skin alone. Do not get me wrong, it is a decent product by itself. I have, however made several or more inquiries to the company as to why my order was not the same as specified and have not gotten any feedback whatsoever and it has been several weeks. Very, very poor, in the realms of being NON-EXISTENT customer service. Please shop with caution.

Customer Review: Apple’s Greatest Creation
When I got my ipod 20 gig for Christmas, I was overjoyed. I could finally listen to any of my music library, at the flick of my finger, and I wouldn’t have to lug my CDs around with me. Last, and best, was that I didn’t need to have that bulky portable CD player that had absolutely NO skip protection. Not only is the ipod convenient and useful, it is also a cool thing to show off at school or just when you’re out. Everybody turns their heads when they see somebody with an ipod. But, as with everything, there are a few minor glitches. Here they are:

The “chrome” back finish scratches EXTREMELY easily. I read that in other reviews and quickly found that out. So, I would suggest buying a case for it. The screen scratches too, but not as easily. You can buy screen protectors for it.

Sometimes, when I leave my ‘pod off for like a day or something, I try to turn it on, but it doesn’t. I check for the hold button, but it isn’t on. I then try to hold the pause button down for like five seconds. A non-backlit screen comes up with the apple logo on it. Further holding it down and the ipod comes on.

That’s about it for the glitches. Not much, eh??? I truly love this product. It goes with me everywhere. I know you will like yours, too!!! Signed — A girl Buy It Now at Amazon!

Customer Review: Good deal, but get a nano
I got my iPod last March (ten months ago) and have been pretty happy with it. The music quality is good, iTunes is quite easy to use,transferring songs to the iPod (USB 2.0) is fast, and so is ripping from CDs or converting from wma format. The clickwheel is really easy to use– once you get used to it. (It took me about two weeks). The headphones are really nice, fit perfectly into my ear. The skip protection is really good. Browsing songs is easy, and although the games aren’t that great, who buys these things for the games? Nice display– the reason I got this over the shuffle. The volume range is good, whether you like to deafen yourself, or conserve your eardrums (like me).
Unfortunately, the music is hard drive based, so the songs sometimes just…stop. When this happens, I have to reset the iPod (toggle the hold switch on and off, then hold MENU and select (center button) simultaneously for six seconds) and sometimes the song that froze can’t be played again until I reset the thing a few more times. The iPod also takes a long time to warm up, depending on how long since it was last on (anywhere from 2-15 seconds). And here is my second biggest gripe (after the stopping): the battery life. I’ve kept my backlight off the whole time, and I’ve never gotten more than twelve hours of battery life, versus the advertised 18. Also, loading songs from iTunes store takes a long time, which is to be expected, but still…
My advice is to get a 2GB nano over a 4GB mini, unless you’re really budgeting and NEED that 4 Gigs. However, I do think that this product was worth my money.
Customer Review: Be sure to get the extended warranty
**Note: this is a review of the 1st gen Ipod mini bought from the Apple store**

I recieved one of the 1st Ipod minis as a birthday gift from my girlfriend. At first I thought it was great. The user interface for this MP3 player is remarkable and intuitive. More than enough songs fit on it and it looks cool. Unfortunately, it broke as soon as the warranty period was up (one year). Considering how much it cost and then to only work for one year at that price I don’t feel like it’s worth the money. Now my entire music collection is in proprietary Apple formats. I’m trapped in iTunes with no way out and I have all of these useless ipod accessories I can’t use. I just read where the new ipod nano has a screen so fragile it breaks when you put it in your pocket. Take it from me, the Ipod is a trendy piece of crapware. Avoid it at all costs or at least get the extended warranty. Buy It Now at Amazon!
