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 registered my waterproof iPod Shuffle with Apple immediately after receiving the unit from the "waterproofing" vendor, without any issue. Apple's iPod Shuffle warranty is for one year. I would imagine that you could pay for a longer warranty, but frankly, my first Apple iClip worked for roughly 5 years.... And I was tough on it. Regards, Tom

Yes, the unit is a very secure enviroment for your iPod. You can do any activity, short of kick boxing, without fear of the iPod being disloged

The display works fine. My issue was that it is in fact not waterproof it failed on second use. I have not bought a replacement yet but i have talked to some people who purchase a water proofed nano, and someone who bought a finnis. Both like them. The lady who bought the Finnis has had hers for 3 years and regularly swims with it at the YMCA. I am more inclined to buy the nano, because it uses waterproof headphones that can be replaced, whereas the Finnis uses bone conduction technology that is integrated into the device. I am not sure it will work correctly because you will still hear the sound of the water splashing by your head as you swim. The display works fine.

I believe the answer is yes. This is based on pre-purchase research and not actual results as I have not gotten to using it yet.I found the seller to be responsive,cooperative and very helpful since I made the purchase. On that alone, I would recommend this as a safe purchase. Hope this helps!!

We have had no issues with any iPods, brand new Classics, older Nanos ... they work just fine. Make sure that the connections is secure since I have had issues with the connecting cable and am having it replaced nect week.

You might want to try the shuffle if you don't have a lot of music (it's 1 gigabyte, 240 songs for $79) or the nano (4 gigabytes, 1000 songs for $149, 8 gigabytes, 2000 songs for $199) if you don't want to pay 300 or 400 dollars for the iPod touch.

It all depends on the features you are looking for. I just needed a mp3 player to play music in my car and when I'm traveling. So I was not interested in a 'smart' mp3 player, which are more expensive. The Ipod Nano is more expensive than the Sony walkman, but the Sony walkman had the basic features I was looking for.

I have a nano they suck, mine has broken three times and every time i send it in it takes forever to come back if you must get one be careful dont drop them at all or the screen will split then it is imposible to see what your playing.

It worked with my iPhone 4. So if your nano is compatible, it should work. If you have an iPhone 5, you can buy a blue tooth piece and you should be able to stream your music. You can get one for $20. It works great!!!

I don't think so, I brought mine about 2-3 years ago. But I will say that it last. I dropped this thing Sooo much, I'm surprised my iPod still works! It even caught on mini spills.The case works. My case finally broke sometime this year, I can still use it, but slides off to easily now. I intend to buy another. I hope this was helpful.

Hello Lindsay, Don't feel bad about not knowing anything about these electronic devices, if you don't you use them you would have no reason to know anything about them. Let me start by addressing the question at hand of playing games. The version that you have selected, the nano, does not have any games available for it. This version of an ipod would not work for what you need. That being said, the version that you would need will need to have these things in its description or even title, "TOUCH." This means it'd be for a version of ipod that you operate by touching the screen the same as you would with a smart phone. Also, you would need one that is any of the following Generations. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 7th. The best way to look at these is like cars. Each year the newest model will come out and it just improves on the previous years model. For an Ipod, what that generally means is more storage space on the device and they tend to get smaller and sleeker. These devices do not come with the games. To actually get games on the device, you will need to download from the itunes store online. Remember you do not want a Nano, and it has to be a "touch" version of the generations that we mentioned. We hope this helps and please feel free to ask any other questions!

I am so glad to read this! I bought my son a nano last year, and have returned it three times. It needs returned again, but I'm positive it's out of warranty now. The issue is that it randomly stops playing some songs - his library went from 250+ songs that would play to less than 50. This has happened so frequesntly that we're thoroughly disgusted. The 40G iPod video we have has no such problems!

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

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.
