During the past few weeks I attempted to repair my old mp3 player. However the parts that I ordered did not include all of the parts necessary to repair the device. This led me to damaging the device beyond the point of repair. Instead of trying to get someone else to repair it I went ahead and decided that I wanted to purchase a new mp3 player.

I used our  to view the many choices available on many different websites. I wanted an mp3 player that allowed me to listen to music and watch videos if at all possible. In addition to that I wanted the most features that could possibly be placed into the device. Price was a factor that I did not even think of at first. Local stores carried many different brands of MP3 players and I had more than enough money in the bank to purchase one.

Going into the local stores I was rather disappointed. The large selection that they should have had was really quite slim. After being unable to find what I wanted at the store I went back home. I jumped onto the  we have at the house, which made shopping across the world convenient with the click of a mouse. Finally I found that many shoppers enjoyed the Apple iPod. While it was a bit more expensive it was not extremely expensive. Once I decided upon the iPod I got the 16 GB version. Within a few days it was sitting on my kitchen table being programmed for the first time!

I was browsing around eBay forums and it led me to these bright colored ipod protectors at ebay. It costs about $6.00 which is quite reasonable I might say.

I’m trying to recall a few friends of mine who has an ipod which doesn’t have a protector yet. I bet they’ll love to receive one of these for Christmas.

Recently, I saw a leather iPod protector. That one was really, really nice. It has this executive looking fine leather, with white stiches on the side. Very corporate looking ipod protector.
I can’t recall where I saw it but it was definitely much expensive than these. For kids and teenagers, I think they’ll like these colorful ipod protectors more than the leather ones.
