I bought this case not long after I got my iPod when I realized video playback only displays one way on the screen. It wasn't very comfortable having to hold the iPod for the length of a movie (of in my case an episode of Dexter). When looking at kickstand cases, all of the ones I saw looked kind of flimsy and cheap which made me wary. I ended up buying this one mainly because it was the cheapest at the time at $15.00. When I got it, it was about what I expected; thin, cheap feeling plastic and a similar kickstand.
Regardless, it served the purpose I bought it for so I wasn't too unhappy with the money I spent. It snaps onto the iPod pretty easily and keeps a pretty secure hold on the device- I've not had it come off accidentally once since I've had it. My only problem with it now that I've had it for a while is that the stand clip, which is on the side of the case and is just an indent in the plastic (which again speaks to the relative cheapness of the make) has worn down enough that the stand will slip out and come up if I am not paying attention. I'm worried that it will unlatch without my knowledge and I'll accidentally break it off.
That being said, what really impressed me, however, was the company I bought it from. Not long after I got it, I received an email asking me to rate the product. I think I gave 3 stars at the time because of the cheap feel. A week later I got a phone call from a representative of the company asking me what had caused me to rate it three stars and what they could do to fix it. She even offered to send me another type of case. I declined as I wasn't angry with the product and it was still working for the purpose I bought it for. Not wanting to give a bad rep to the company for a product, I had the lady walk me through the steps to remove my review.
So all in all, the storefront I bought it from (eBigValue) is an excellent one and I would buy from them again if they have something I need simply for the fact they cared enough to call and make right whatever problems I had. The product itself, is, like you would imagine from the pictures kind of cheap but for the money it costs now ($10.00 at the time of this writing) you can't really do much better, especially now that the new iPod's are out. You'll get about six months out of it like I did and at 10 bucks you can just buy a new one if need be without feeling like you lost a huge amount of money.
So I suppose I recommend it if you need a cheap case, but there are better quality (and subsequently more expensive) ones out there if you are looking for something more long term. I give it four stars.

I tried to mount it horizontally and it was to weak to hold up a fairly lightweight mic. Was very unimpressed.

You'll note that this product ships directly from Adorama. What you might not know is that Amazon's online price is $40 less than Adorama's online price. The only place I've found a cheaper CStand was at MarkerTek - but watch out. MarkerTek charged my card TWICE for the same item as a "matter of policy." They gave me some double-talk about how it was their bank's policy to charge twice, then remove the first charge later. Amazon, on the other hand, will NOT charge your card twice ... and discounts Adorama by a respectable amount.

iPod Mini Tune Tattoo Skin Kit - Chrome Drip on Fire - By TuneTattooz Review

iPod Mini Tune Tattoo Skin Kit - Chrome Drip on Fire - By TuneTattooz
Average Reviews:

This is essentially the same product as the black sticker with melting metal, so the review will be the same...fyi.First of all, I was impressed with the quality of the graphics. Although I don't yet have an iTrip (so i haven't used the upper skin), the main body's skin is a fairly nice fit.
The skin does not fully cover the iPod mini. Once you have centered the front and wrapped it around, the back has about a sixteenth of an inch left bare where the two edges don't meet. Not a big deal, since you'll likely use it to begin peeling the skin off if/when you decide to move on to another skin. Plus, compared to a lot of other skins I've seen online, a straight edge like the one on this skin is much more attractive on an iPod than the curvy edges of many online stores where you can upload your own graphics or use their templates (I personally don't care for a wavy odd-shaped expanse of uncovered backing when the rest of my iPod looks nicely done up in it's new skin).
Another note on the dimensions - if you center the front of the skin around the viewscreen, you'll be left with a sliver of bare iPod at the top and about a 32nd of an inch or so of bare iPod at the bottom. This skin doesn't fully cover the iPod (not counting the back of the device as mentioned above). So the image provided by the company is a bit misleading. I'll try to remember to upload some pics later to show these gaps.
The package comes with both iTrip and main body skins on one sheet, with a plastic tab (nice touch) to gently press out any air bubbles that might be introduced when you apply the skin. It also comes with a clear viewscreen cover to protect your screen from scratches. Again, a nice addition. But as with the skins, the clear cover doesn't go to the edges. You'll be left with about a 32nd of an inch all the way around. Like it or not, it *does* enable you to easily get a bit of the edge to easily pull it off for replacement as needed.
As you can see in the picture from the company, the scroll wheel is completely covered with the skin. It is not serrated or a separate sticker or anything. However, the viewscreen's area *IS* a separate piece. It easily pushes out from the main body's sticker when you remove it from the sticker's backing. It comes right out easily, with no sticking or uncut edges or serrations or anything that would leave an unclean edge for you.
Back to the scroll wheel: it is completely responsive to my touch. There is a bit of an airgap since the actual scroll wheel is a bit inset to begin with, but it hasn't caused any problems and I've had mine on for weeks of regular use now.
One thing I've noticed about the wear and tear, though, is that the left and right edges of the main body's skin surrounding the viewscreen do not stick very well. I think I may have pulled the sticker a bit tight when I first put it on, I'm not sure. Maybe the adhesive just doesn't hold on an odd angle like that, where the skin starts wrapping around the curved edges of the iPod toward the back. I don't know...
I'm thouroughly enjoying mine, hopefully you enjoy yours as well. I definitely recommend it.

Disney Mix Stick - Silver/Chrome MP3 Review

Disney Mix Stick - Silver/Chrome MP3

I bought this for my 4 yr. old daughter in the Forever a Princess Mix Stick along w/ a Jam Stand 4 months ago. She loves music, but I didn't want to continue to invest in CD's due to the cost and probility that she would be scratching & missplacing them all of the time - as she had been. I wanted something she could just play in her room with ease. So I bought the M. Stick & J.S. Stand, downloaded about 130 of her favorite princess & current movie songs, nursery ryme & learning songs, some fun 80's favorites like Ghost Busters & Thriller (which she loves), & even some crazy ones like The Chicken Dance and this set ended up being the biggest HIT to many! She doesn't even know there are ear buds. I didn't want her blasing the music in her still developing ears or losing the Mix Stick or anything else, so I set it up for her and honestly I don't even think she knows the Mix Stick and Jam Stand are two pieces and come apart from each other. (Also, we don't even use the Mix Clips b/c that would be one more thing I'd have to buy and keep track of). The Mix Stick is simple and the buttons are made easy: on/off/pause/volume up/down & forward/rewind - there's nothing to read so it keeps it very easy for her. Also, the Jam Stand works great - it's the perfect size (very small so it doesn't take up a lot of space). It pumps out the music, but even at it's loudest not blasting through the house like a jam box would. The flashing lights are the perfect little accent when she turns down the lights. I really debated on a princess jam box w/ the songs already in it - again b/c I was trying to keep it simple, but the songs were very limited and sounded bad. Buying CDs were going to be costly and work for me keeping everything clean & together. So, this surpassed my expectations for a 4 year old. In fact, my 5 yr. old said he didn't need one b/c he has his little Buzz Lightyear radio but after he saw all of the cool songs his sister has at the touch of a mouse ear, he decided to ask Santa for one too - so Santa is bringing him this black Jam Stand & a Chrome Mix Stick. Every adult that see's this unit in her room says they have to get one b/c it completely simplifies everything allowing their young child to play & access their music completely on their own. Basically, I spent one evening working on all of the downloads and haven't had to do anything since - it's perfect!
