you know, im sort of questioning my Nano purchase

Eh, I bought mine to take skiing with since it was flash-based, and i'm still going to take it skiing :D I'll buy a case for it and hope that helps, but I don't think the LCD will break even under a fair bit of pressure if it was under a case.

yeah you should've thought about your investment more wisely. tsk tsk tsk people wasting their money like that.

kind of hard to think about stuff like that when i have nothing to relate it to.

if i wanted to make a wise investment, i'd throw the money into a mutual fund, and not spend it on an mp3 player.

i've only been snowboarding once. i can't remember what the impacts were like from falling, except when i caught a heel edge and knocked my head. do you crash pretty hard, or is it softened by the snow?

I ordered 2GB nano, like 3 days after nano came out.
while it was shipping it to me, i second thought about the purchase,
thinking that I might be needing more space, so I decided to return
the 2GB to local Apple store and ordered 4GB. I think I will be happy
with my 4GB.

d-bear, when I crash it's usually pretty hard, but since it's under a jacket/hoody/a case it shouldn't be too bad for the nano.

y0ungkwang, thanks for the advice - i'll definately look in to the otterbox.

Otterbox's are sold at Amazon.com

Have you seen one of these before, it's the world's smallest mp3 player:

i know it's a relatively small decision, but i rarely spend that kind of money on myself, outside of bicycles.

i saw that player just the other day (on CNET, not in person). i'd have to get a stronger prescription to read it, i think. or i might eat it, thinking it was a crispy crouton.

i must say, im feeling a little down on the nano purchase as well. i mean, it was really nice for the first couple of days, then it was like, why is this thing so small?

it has served me well running, but my 1.5gb rio forge was doing fine for that as well.

i dont really want to return my nano, but i do want a new color 20gb ipod as well. my current 20gb is beat like no other.

it was $263 total, but it feels so delicate i dont want to use it, while the bigger ones i always felt comfortable handling.

lately ive been thinking "neat toy, should have gotten a used one"

but now that i have it, i guess thats that.

yeah, that's passed through my mind a few times. never stopped me from using it around campus, but i will never take it out on a bike.

whats taht one case thats like aluminum armor stuff? if they made that for the nano, that would be sweet

ipod2genman - Don't buy that crap. My sister asked me what I wanted for my bday and since I couldnt convince her that I was fine without anything I asked her to pick me up an ipod armor since she's in vancouver, and they had it in stock there but not in calgary where I am. She got it and I used it whenever I went skiing...this thing is the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen. I drop it and it opens up, yeah, IT OPENS UP! lol absolute crap in my opinion.

i never said anything about scratches. i don't think anyone else has, either. i'm more worried about taking a dive, and putting heavy, non-uniform loads on the Nano.

Do u do Kamakaze trail runs? Otherwise dunworryaboutit! U'd be worried about ANY DAP, none are indestructible.
