I feel it is fairly safe, the quality of the product should be accurate to the description. You're paying what you think the item is worth. Some people have the ability to repair these devices so partially damaged items may be for sale. Just be thorough and take your time to read all the information about the product and you should be ok. :)

Do your research and make sure the seller with a good track record (customer reviews) and their description indicates the condition of the product.

Depends on where you're buying it, if it is a friend I think theres no problem. If it is from a seller here at Amazon the best thing you can do is check his reputation.

I have not had problems with my ipod nano or my nexus 4. It is important to note I rarely use them on anything other than my nano. I use them daily for that purpose and have logged hundreds of miles with zero issues. I would buy another of these in a heartbeat.

Yes ... but , if your car has a USB port then I would suggest getting a flash/thumb drive and using them in place of an iPod Classic. Much less money for a flash/thumb drive and it will withstand extreme temperatures that will affect the hard drive based iPod Classic. I have a few 64 GB flash drives used for my car that cost $40 each , one iPod Classic is now around $480 (if new) and $200 for a used one. This is what you get with a new iPod Classic http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/C/apple-30-pin-to-usb-cable

Hey dude.. I could advise you on this as it happened with me.Yes.. it is safe as long as you pay for it through amazon (ie.. no wire transfers/online transfer or other means). The worst that can happen is that you wont get the item delivered by delivery date and then your money will be refunded back which will take about 10 days.This is exactly what happened with me when I ordered an iPhone 4 32GB unlocked at $460 from mattress n more discount furniture source.

To the OP:Apple routinely unveils new products and upgrades in early September every year. Buying an iPod in August when there was a very real potential of an upgrade coming out in Sept (the old ipods hadn't been updated in 2 years) was a bad move, obviously. oh well- obviously that ipod is worth $350 to you so it's not like you lose anything from it- you just missed out on a better deal. You'll know better next time.

The nano's are more reliable than the Classic versions. My old 60GB failed 3 times over the course of 4yrs while my 2nd gen Nano has never failed and I've had it for 3yrs. I have this 120GB Classic now though and it's been going strong for 6 months.

Yes, I leave my ipod inside the radio for months, it keeps it protected and the only time I take it out is to update it with new music from mp3rocket.com and so far, it has not caused any problems that I am aware of. I have the Ipod classic.

I've had it since I got my ipod and it's pretty much in pristine condition, so yes.

Thanks for the help. Just purchased the Nano Plus. At $65, can't go wrong. Can't wait for it to arrive.

No. Please make sure to buy a new one if you are looking for a new one. Do not buy a used one and think it is new.

Because you are using it for movies, you must get the 8gb model, the 4gb will fill up too fast. The 4 gb model is ok for a moderate sized music collection, most of those 30 or more gb players are usually mostly empty for most people, but not for movies. Since a 3g shuffle was just introduced, I would strongly recommend waiting for an update for the nano, im betting a 16 gb model is coming, frankly I'm surprised the current nanos don't come in a 16gb model, I think they are just trying to sell more ipod touches, which i cannot recommend unless you have a huge pile of cash to get rid of.

in my opinion i would not use this product for a ipod nano. check other ihome products. there are many other products they have in my opinion that are more suitable for the ipod nano.

I bought it and it worked perfectly, no problems whatsoever. Also has a 1 year warranty through native instruments based on the serial number that's on the device. Never regretted buying this little beauty.

I would not recommend the warranty at all. I had to use it just once and if the item is dropped or has any kind of water damage, it is not covered that is if you can even get past all the run around to get to that point. My question was, how else can an iPod be damaged. What?

I dunno, assuming you buy from the right dealer and therefore get the right product and not one of the knockoff flimsy ones, it should survive impact from a high drop. These people obviously don't grasp that they aren't all receiving the same thing because I suspect they are ordering from different sellers for the cheapest rate. I'm clumsy as can be and the rubber outer lining keeps it from slipping out of my hands like the slick and slippery ipod without the case. I've still dropped it a few times and it didn't so much as nick it. Also I suggest getting them screen protectors if you haven't already. I got this case and screen protectors immediately after getting my ipod and it's still in mint condition because of that fact. Don't let other people's ignorance deter you. Buy from the right seller, the Amazon promoted one, and you should get the right thing. If you get it and it doesn't look like the right product or it seems flimsy AFTER putting it on the RIGHT WAY. (Reading through other customers experiences with THAT is embarrassing.) Then if it isn't satisfying-- send it back. Good luck! I love this case and I've had it for 5 months.

Yes it is. I am very happy with my iPod Nano. Sounds good and works great. I bought two of them and recorded my CD collection to iTunes and uploaded to the iPod. Worked great with no problems. I bought the iPod after I spent hours trying to get a Sensa Clip+ to same thing and have never been able to get it to work.

I believe you should be able to detect new from used. Scrutinize the item carefully and trust your gut feeling. I don't believe they will pass off used as new. Reputation matters and I doubt if they will risk that.
