Ipod down - but still going
 
Am mighty impressed with my IPOD classic 80gb. I was riding home last night when it fell from my pocket at ~55mph. After 1.5 hrs of searching for it I finally found it by the side of the road looking very sorry for itself.

The cystal plastic protection case that I bought for it had come off and was completely knackered, the front of the Ipod itself was covered in rubber marks from tyres and the back had been somewhat compressed and scratched but the little gem still works perfectly.

I have now bent the back case so that it roughly fits and wiped off the rubber marks (the front looks brand new still) and all is well. Overall it is a tough little cookie and I am well impressed!

I always wondered how these sort of devices would fare in an off. My fear is being halfway along some remote and deserted lane somewhere and having a spill, breaking my phone in the process.

I keep meaning to stash a spare old phone under the seat but never get round to it.

I think I was more than a little lucky. The main problem was having to spend a few hours looking for it as I wasn't sure where it fell off!

Bend the case back where it was and take a video of the Ipod working.

Send video to Apple with a polite letter describing the circumstances and suggest that they might like to have it back to publicise how tough the Ipod is - in return for a replacment one for you? :)
