Can I return my ipod if...

I bought my ipod from the apple website, and occasionally I have problems where the play button does not respond. I was wondering if it could be exchanged at an apple store, but if it could, I was a bit worried because I don't know exactly how to replicate it and I am afraid they would not allow me to exchange it, thinking I was just trying to get a new ipod or something. I suppose its not necessarily a bad enough problem (yet, I think it may be getting worse), but I really feel like it is when I am trying to turn my ipod on/off or pause it.

Hm...Well I went to an Apple store in STL, and I bought my iPod at an Best Buy and asked if I had problems with it could I turn it here at the store since I had it in my pocket..and they said thats O.K. to do. They accept it. So i'm assuming it's O.K.

I think I am going to see if the problem gets worse, and then I will have more of a case. Even if it doesnt, I may try to return it (allthough even now I feel a little guilty about the idea of returning it with just that one semi-minor flaw).

Don't feel guilty if you return something because it's not working correctly. You paid money for something that should work and you shouldn't be expected to happily accept a faulty product. I returned my ipod last week because I was tired of the many bugs it had and was tired off resetting it four or five times a day. Unfortunately, the store was out of them so I wasn't able to get a new one. I got lucky though a few days later when Dell had that fabulous sale and I'm now waiting on my new 30 GB which I got for less than I originally paid for my 15. :)

Yeah, don't worry, just return it! I knew that dell deal was good...I bought my 15 gb one for the 10 gb price!

How fast is dell shipping their ipods? I am going to germany for three weeks on the 31'st, and I think I will probably be able to try going to the apple store this thursday. I currently have a 10gb, and it might be nice to go up to a 15gb if the price is right and the timing works.

edit: Well, the dell deal is over (I think), but that was not much of incentive anyway as I could not get the time to do that fast enough (I have exams this week and would not be able to make it to the apple store in time, and my mom would never let me buy a new one before returning the old one).

The buttons can be finicky, but if you feel the need to replace it you should be able to take it into your local Apple store and exchange it there, providing you have the proper documentation (recipt etc...).
