Hi,

I just bought a new iPod mini, and I must say I am very pleased with it.

However, I am a little too "protective" with it, so to say.

Any time I put it in my pocket I think to myself, what if I drop it?

I don't like thinking about these things while trying to enjoy music.

So my question for you all is, can you tell me any experiences you have had, with dropping your iPod? How well does it hold up?

How durable are they?

I hear there is a miniture hard drive, an actual harddrive in these things, I mean that doesn't sound very durable to me, considering there is a harddrive in there?

Anyone have any pictures of the inside of an iPod?

How strong are these puppies?

How far has someone pushed the limits in term of trying to damage an iPod?

To me it sounds like the Shuffle is more durable, since there is no harddrive.

I would drop my iPod a few times to see how well it holds up, but I don't want to risk my 200 dollar purchase if you know what I mean.

Thanks to anyone
