Built for the 5th Gen. iPod. The picture is inaccurate, even though there may have been a version made for 4th Gen.This case only has a gap enough to plug in a Lightning connector. 30-pin will not fit.It is also built tighter inside to form fit the thinner, squarer 5th Generation iPod.

The c only means different packaging - nicer looking, aimed at the ipod gen. I got the e2's and got 9 PAIRS of sleeves and buds (3 clear, 3 black, 3 foam) x Small, Medium, Large.

Hi Anna!This case was made only for the classic 30GB model. We have cases available for later models of the iPod, though none at the moment for the 5th generation. Apologies for that.If there's anything else, just let me know.

Ok, so I took the time to talk to Sony (2 hours on the phone) and Apple (1 hour on the phone) about this. Sony tell me that the iPod classic has the same specifications for the connection port as the iPod 5th gen Video. So, they believe that the problem is in the iPod classic's firmware. They did say that they were going to get their engineer's to look at connecting a classic up to see why it is not working. So, the Apple story. Apple looked at this and said that the classic's video out was slightly different than the 5th gen. But, after looking at it a little more closely, and looking at some of the products that Apple sell for similar functionality (video out to TV/Receiver), they then started to feel that there may be an issue with the hardware/firmware. They also indicated that they had received reports of the classic working with similar products, and then failing to work after a recent firmware upgrade. Apple also indicated that they would contact their engineers regarding the connection to the Sony Digital Media port, and give reasons as to why it is not working, and whether there is some way to make it work. I should hear back within the next few days (given that tomorrow is friday, it may be early next week). Hopefully this matter will be resolved by a firmware update. What was really dissapointing was I plugged in my friends 5th gen, and it worked a charm. So it can work...

Ipod touch 5th generation, 16 gb you can find out by just going to Google and search the model number.

The colors are different, I think.If you google pics of each generation, it might help.The size and shapes may differ as well.The older gen was more square than the 4th and 5th

I have 8GB on my curent (Gen 4) iPod. I have been wanting to upgrade to a video iPod for a while, but decided to wait hoping a new one would come out (similar to the iPhone). I am a little concerned about only having 16GB, but even more concerned about its shape. Is this iPod expected to fit into current iPod accessories? I have an iDock for my AV receiver, and I'd be bummed if this didn't fit. It came with several adaptors, but I don't think it has any that are for an iPod that thin.

Why does it say that it works for ALL generation iPods if a reviewer says her iPod 5generation video doesn't fit??? So irritated!! Already ordered it. Guess I'll send it back. Does anyone know if it really does not work with an iPod video 5g?

I buy electronics used all the time. If they are unacceptable, then you just call Amazon. I bought an iPod Suffle used and it's fine. Back when I sold my old IPod, it was perfectly fine, but they had just came out with the video iPods and I got one as a graduation gift. Really no need for two regular iPods, so I sold my old one because the video one was cooler. I got the iPod Shuffle because it's lighter and easier to clip to my shirt when I exercise. My advise? Be VERY aware of exactly what the description says. If it says it's scratched, but works well, then you don't get to be ticked off when it's scratched when it arrives. They TOLD you it was scratched. Also, pay close attention to the seller's rating. Do not buy from anyone who has less than a 94% customer rating. If you do, then look to see why people gave them a low rating. Often, it's just that the item took too long to ship, which in the scheme of things isn't a big deal when saving a ton of money. Just make sure it doesn't say "Item broken, tried to return it but the guy wouldn't respond" kind of comments. You are protected to a certain extent under Amazon.com when you buy from individual sellers.

I think that the iPod touch 5th generation because it has a longer screen and nice cameras. It has a 4 inch display and comes with the new lightning to USB cable. It's just a better product than the 4th generation, plus the 4th has been discontinued

No. This iPod has a new charger called a lightning charger. It is not as wide as the old iPod chargers. The 5th generation iPod is not compatible with any former generation iPod chargers or ports.

I bought the iPod classic for Christmas last year (2012). I purchased it directly from Apple in late November/early December 2012. I am not sure which generation was out then, but it fits the one I bought (Bought it as a gift). i can say that for the money (I think I paid less than $20 for the kit) it was well worth it -as it was way more than the person will ever use (there are several different styles of protectors/carrying cases). Hope this helps!

That depends on how many apps/music/videos/pictures that your kids load. I think if my son had a 16G instead of 8G on his older 4th generation ipod we probably wouldn't have chosen to upgrade. He had LOTS of apps, and his 8G got too slow. If a camera is important to your kids, you will pay a lot more for a 5th gen - the 4th gen have cameras on every memory configuration but the 5th gen only on the 32G, which is pricey.
