With an ultrathin design, a larger, 4-inch Retina display, a 5-megapixel iSight camera, Bluetooth 4.0, iTunes and the App Store, Siri, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and more—it's the most fun iPod touch ever.

This is an awesome iPod, WAY better than the 4th generation. If you have the 4th gen. and are on the fence about spending the money, DON'T be, it's more than worth it. The 4 inch retina screen is awesome, big enough to easily see for Facetime or movies, regular web surfing and reading books for most people. The camera is great, it takes such good pictures between this and my cellphone, I hardly use my digital camera anymore. The external speaker isn't great, but you can hear it in most places. The new earpods are another HUGE improvement with this over my old iPods. If you usually upgrade your headphones, (which I do) make sure you listen to them before you do because you might not have to with this one (I didn't). I love that it comes in so many colors. I can watch two full length movies without having to recharge it, and with regular use it will still have about 1/4 of the battery left at the end of the day. It does have a different cord than the previous model iPods so if you have a dock for an older iPod, you will need a lightning connector to use it with this one. I have no idea why Apple did this, it really ticked me off actually. This iPod will easily fit into most coat, jacket, pants, or sweatshirt pockets, but it is VERY light and thin so it could easily be sat on or forgotten about so I wouldn't keep it there. Being so thin it could easily slip out of your hand so be careful. This is why (even though it's so pretty you might not want to cover it up) I STRONGLY suggest getting a case and screen protector to protect it. Apple products are VERY fragile and I have seen drops from a couple feet onto carpet shatter screens. They do hold their value well to and the better shape it's in, the more you get for it if you ever go to sell it. My 32 gig 4th gen was in almost perfect condition. I sold it on craigslist with, 2 speck cases, the (unopened) headphones and USB cord for $200.00. It is pricey no doubt about it, but it's the Mercedes Benz of iPods and I do love it.

iPad mini features a beautiful 7.9" display, iSight® and FaceTime camera, the A5 chip, ultrafast wireless and up to 10 hours of battery life1. And over 275,000 apps2 on the App Store made for iPad work with iPad mini. So it's an iPad in every way, shape and slightly smaller form.

iPad Mini
on November 27, 2012
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
This was an early Christmas/Birthday present to myself this year and so far I am very happy with it. I have an iPad 3 that I absolutely love, but the mini is way lighter, more portable and fits in most purses where if I want to take the full size iPad, i have to take almost everything out. It does everything the full size iPad does, just in a compact form. My neice who just turned four loves the mini. If I come over to my sisters and don't have it with me, it will be all I hear about the whole time lol :) She has apps that teach her numbers and letters and she plays games so she learns a lot with it which is a great thing. I like the screen size and that you can carry it in one hand. It is perfect for reading, surfing the internet or playing games. For movies, especially HD I prefer the full size iPad with the retina screen. The mini doesn't have a retina screen, but the screen isn't bad to look at at all. My Aunt and Grandma have the iPad 2 and it does look better than the screen on that, but not quite as good as the iPad 3. I would advise anyone who is thinking about getting one to check it out in a store and see it for yourself before you buy if you possibly can. It is fast on the internet , all my apps run smooth and perfect, and the battery life is awesome. It's every bit as good as the battery on the iPad 3 maybe a little bit better. Like all Apple products, it is very expensive and fragile so protecting it with a case is a very smart idea. Overall in my opinion it is worth it and I would recommend it to anyone

Protect your Apple iPad mini, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3 or other tablet up to 10" with this Belkin Verve 2.0 folio case that features polyurethane material to guard against damage. The stand's multiple viewing angles allow easy hands-free viewing.

I really like this case. It fits the iPad mini perfectly and holds it very securely. Which for me is why I spend the money on a case for my electronics. The inside is very soft as is the rubber on the corners so it won't scratch or damage your iPad at all. You have easy access to the camera, all the controls and it has a magnet closure so if I put the mini in my purse I don't have to worry about it coming open. It does add some thickness but if you want a case to protect and hold your iPad the way this one does, this is something you have to deal with. It feels very well made and of good quality, although I haven't had it long enough to really speak about longevity. It is pricey, but great protection for your investment and I would recommend it to anyone.

Protect the HD screen of your 2nd-, 3rd- or 4th-Generation Apple iPad with this screen protector that features advanced clarity and a glass-like surface to accentuate the sharp, vibrant high-definition images.
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
I have the Zagg Invisible shield HD on my iPad 3 and my 4th Generation iPod touch and could not recommend it any more highly. It keeps your screen totally protected and free from scratches, dirt, oil, and fingerprints all without you knowing it's there. It's a must have especially if you have kids using your iPad. It looks and feels like glass and is very easy to clean. If it's installed correctly, it's crystal clear and will not take away from the amazing Retina display or affect the touchscreen on your apple device at all. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: IF it's installed correctly, and these things are a PAIN to install. I watched the guy at Best Buy put mine on my iPod and he had a very hard time with it. If you've never installed one before and aren't lucky enough to know someone who has and actually knows what they're doing, I HIGHLY recommend having Best Buy install it for you. For $14.99 you're guaranteed a perfect installation. Best Buy puts on a new shield re-does it at no additional charge to you until they get it right. It's not worth it to risk your $39.99 trying to install it yourself. I'm willing to bet most of the people who gave this product a negative review never got it on correctly. They've got all of mine on the first try though and I've never had a problem. It comes with a lifetime guarantee from Zagg so they replace it for free if anything happens. I will continue to purchase this screen protector for all my devices as long as it's available.
What's great about it: You don't even know it's there
What's not so great: The price and paying to have it installed

Protect your HTC Rezound mobile phone's display with this ZAGG InvisibleSHIELD FFHTCREZS screen shield that features scratch-resistant, military-grade material to guard against damage and improves grip without adding bulk.
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
I've had tbe Zagg invisible shield on my last two phones and they are amazing. If installed properly, they will be the the last screen protector you will have to put on your phone. They are pricey, but after having to replace my cheap screen protectors that I was using every couple months, this pays for itself. It comes with a lifetime warranty, and totally protects the screen from scratches, dirt, oil and fingerprints without distorting it or effecting the sensitivity of the touch screen at all. It does add a little bit of texture to the screen though. I honestly do not see a way possible that this thing could accidentally be scratched. You would have to take a very sharp object to it which would have to be done intentionally. I have read and heard that they are horrible to install, so unless you've done it before and know what you're doing, I would strongly recommend paying the $8.00 and having Best Buy do it. I did and they got it perfect the first time. However It is guaranteed and if they mess up, you get a new screen protector and they re-do it for free, as opposed to attempting it yourself and risking being out $20,00
What's great about it: Protects screen without distorting it at all, virtually unscratchable, lifetime warranty
What's not so great: The price and having to pay $8.00 to have it installed

Enjoy your music with comfort with these headphones that feature a fold-flat design for easy portability.
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
How Often Used:Daily
I can't say enough good about these headphones. Perfectly balanced sound quality. From mids, highs, lows, bass to treble. Everything blends together perfectly without to much of anything and the result is you enjoy your music and hear it exactly like it was intended to be heard. I use them with my iPod touch and nano and they're great for any type of music. They sound the best when I'm watching movies on my laptop though. I fell asleep watching Pearl Harbor the other night and they woke me up real quick when the bombing started lol. I almost hit the celing they were so loud and the sound was so great. It's important to remember that what they're picking up the sound from plays a huge part in the sound quality of any headphones. They don't advertise to be noise isolating or cancelling but they do a fairly good job at it. With the volume halfway up on my iPod I can't hear much of what's going on (at normal volume) around me. I don't turn the volume up any louder than that but I'm sure they would totally shut the world out without turning the volume up near all the way if you wanted them to. I'm a smaller woman with a fairly small head so I can't use them during any fast moving physical activity because they're not tight enough and they'll move around. For someone with a larger head I'm sure this wouldn't be an issue though, and it definitely wasn't a deal breaker for me. You might want to try them on in a store if possible though. They are super comfortable and you can wear them indefinitely with no pain or discomfort at all. I've worn them for hours at a time and fallen asleep with them on several times. They fold down easily to about the size of a CD for travel and come with a soft carrying case. However, I think for $150.00 Bose should give you a hard case to protect them. The way they look is a plus for me to. They're a cute (girly, but they do come in black for the guys) off white/eggshell color. The size is perfect for me also because I didn't want big, heavy cans on my head. I've only had them for about three weeks so I can't speak to much about durability, but I'm not to concerned about it because I know Bose is a quality company that stands behind their products. They are pricey but you definitely do get what you pay for with these and I highly reccomend them.
What's great about it: Amazing sound quality, comfort, style, and fit
What's not so great: No hard case, they are pricey, I have a small head so I can't use them during any fast moving physical activity

Good, but not worth anywhere near what they cost

How Often Used:3-5 times a week
These headphones were a major disappointment. They are very comfortable and once you put them in your ears, provided you have the right size ear piece on, unless you take them out, they will not move. However, for $100.00 and being Bose, I expected WAY better sound quality. They don't sound bad, but my $30.00 Sony earbuds sound every bit as good as these. In fact, I had to turn the volume on my iPod touch up louder for the same sound with these than with my Sonys. I tried them on my Sony Vio laptop, my iPod Touch and nano and played with the equalizers and all different kinds of music to no avail. Needless to say, they were returned the next day. Unless all you care about is comfort, save your $$$$$. There is way better sound quality out there if you're willing to pay $100.00. I returned these for the Klipsch Image S4s that are $20.00 less than these and sound way better.
What's great about it: They will not move, are very comfortable, have good sound quality
What's not so great: The price, for 100 and from the bose name, I expected way more

Attach your Apple iPod nano securely to your wrist with this watch band that features a locking attachment and easy access to all buttons and connectors.
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
This is a pretty cool watchband. I got it about a month ago and so far it's done what it's supposed to do. It's pretty cute to look at (I think). It feels just like you're wearing a watch. Its easy to get the iPod on and off, keeps the iPod fastened securely, gives you easy access to all the controls and I really like that you don't have to remove the iPod to charge it like you do with some other watch strap cases. My iPod hasn't come off this case since I got it. However, you do have to sacrafice protection of the iPod for this feature, so it's an individual choice. Some people might say it's a little bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. I would recommend it to anyone.
What's great about it: Comfortable ,holds iPod securely, easy access to controls, good quality, feels like it will last, nice to look at
What's not so great: Nothing I've found so far

AMAZING GPS Mount
on December 28, 2009
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
I got this mount to go with my Nuvi 255W. The windshield mount that it came with fell off twice in the month I've had it so I knew I needed something else. I got this AMAZING mount with a best buy giftcard online christmas day and it was half off. I used store pick up and got it the day after Christmas and I could not be more satisfied. It sits like it's super-glued to the dash, but the great thing is all you have to do is set it there. You don't have to use anything to attach it and there's nothing you have to leave in your car that would make your car a target to a thief. It also makes moving from one vehicle to another a breeze, so much better than messing with the suction cup. I love that it's so easy to remove the whole thing when I'm at home. When I'm out and have to leave my car unattended, the arm unlocks and slides off the base so I can stick the mount underneath my seat and the GPS in the console next to my seat. It takes all of 10 seconds to have everything completely out of sight. Which is important because who wants to broadcast to a thief that you have a GPS in your car?? The only bad thing that I could begin to say about it is it's kind of ugly, but when it works this good, that's EASILY forgotten about. I would buy it again for full price in a second.
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Appearence, but it works so good you'll forget that it's ugly

Theese are fine if you don't plan on moving at all while you have them in your ears. If I move a muscle, they fall out. I got the green Gumyphones, they sound as good as these, are just as comfortable, never fall out of my ears and were half the price.

The screen cover was "installed" by a Best Buy employee. When I purchased the item I was asked if I wanted an employee to install it for me. Little did I know that I was being charged for the installation as well. The installation of the screen cover was so bad I had to remove it. There were so many bubbles in it I had a hard time reading the screen. I removed it because I was afraid it would damage the screen itself. Not only did I lose money on the screen cover, but I lost money on the installation.

You should have taken it back
July 13, 2012
Best Buy guarantees the installation that you paid for so you should have left it on and returned it to the store. They would have replaced the screen protector and re-done the installation at no extra charge. Now that you've taken it off and they can't see that it was improperly installed, I doubt there is anything they can do, but Best Buy does have very good customer service so it wouldn't hurt to try as long as the store isn't to far away.

By TroyC_BBYSTAFF
from Mishawaka, IN
I have owned every generation of iPod Touch. This one is by far the best one ever. They made it thinner, with a lager screen, higher resolution, and amazingly... Better battery life. I've noticed that I can charge it only once every other day and it works all day. The thing I love about this iPod Touch is the over all form factor. It is so LIGHT! I almost cannot tell it is in my pocket. My only advice is that you shouldn't cover this thing with a case, with the new colors and the sleek feel, it's a shame to add bulk and weight. Just get a Zagg, and Geek Squad Protection if your worried about breaking it.

Great review, but get a case!
October 30, 2012
I have a 4th generation iPod touch and I'm going to be upgrading to this model shortly. Your review was very informative, but I have to disagree with you on not protecting something this fragile and expensive with a case. I have seen drops from as little as a couple feet shatter the screens on numerous friends and relatives iPods and iPhones. You can get a good protective case for half of what Best Buy wants for one year of Geek Squad protection to. I do totally agree with the Zagg screen protectors though I love them and will never use anything else. It's everyones own iPod so their decision to make, but I definitely say GET A CASE.

This thing is so frustrating. I bought it for my wife for Valentine's Day and she cant use very much because the battery stays dead. She has charged it completely numerous times. turned off the wi-fi and blue tooth, set the screen brigthtness, etc. Why does apple put these features on the ipod if you can't use them for any length of time.

It sounds like you got a lemon. The iPod is under warranty for a year from the date of purchase so return it to Best Buy and if it's been to long for them to do anything they'll refer you to an Apple store that can replace it for you.

4 out of 5Used since iphone 3g
By Miggles
Ive used zagg screen protectors since the iphone 3g. Mainly I felt like writing this review because I disagree with a previous review giving it 1 star. This is by no means a simple screen protector to apply and I messed up my first one as well. best buy offers to apply it for you for $8 and if they misplace it theyll place another one free. I myself pass on that offer since I figured out how to apply them after the first attempt. The screen protector itself is worth it, and if you need to remove it for a phone repair, you can register the product on zaggs website and get a new one free by mailing in the old one. Dont listen to the 1 star review, he/she is just angry about a failed attempt.

I couldn't agree more!
May 13, 2013
I am a huge fan of this screen protector as well and will not use anything else as long as it's available. I have it on my Galaxy S3, iPad3, 5th Gen iPod touch, had it on my 4th Gen iPod and will have it on my Galaxy S4 as soon as it comes out for Verizon. It is pricey no doubt, but as long as it's installed correctly, you can hardly tell it's there. I had a guy at Verizon try to tell me I didn't have a screen protector on my phone and when I told him I did, he basically accused me of lying because he couldn't see it. . IF (and this is a big IF) it's installed correctly, that's how good it is. It's crystal clear and doesn't take away from your screen at all. It doesn't come up or get scratched and is very easy to wipe clean. I have yet to hear one bad review where the person gets it on correctly and doesn't like the actual product. I have seen how much of a pain they are to install and I would rather not have the hassel or risk my money so I just pay Best Buy to do it. If they mess up, you get another one for free. That did happen to me once to. Better their $25.00 than yours, especially if you've never done it before and don't know someone who has.

Compatible with an ipod shuffle?
I would like a speaker/alarm clock that is compatible with an ipod shuffle. The ipod shuffle doesn't have bluetooth & the specs of this product say the USB port is for charging. Can you also use the USB port to connect to a music device instead of the bluetooth?
Yes I have an older ipod nano that doesn't have bluetooth that I do this with. You attach the shuffle to the back of the clock with an auxiliary cable through the headphone jack on the iPod. One comes with the clock, however it is very short. You can listen to your iPod shuffle, wake up or fall asleep to music.
