My iPod Mini 2nd Gen started to die slowly, due to battery problems. It was still under warranty by only a few weeks. I sent it off to Apple 2 weeks ago, and they replaced it with a brand new iPod Mini which is great news as they have been discontinued since the Nano.

The Mini is the most durable iPod they have made, and i adore it. It's now in a silicon case with a screen protector, and will stay perfect for another year.

I was almost going to buy a battery from eBay and do it myself, i'm so glad i didn't as i now have a brand new iPod.

Rich.

My best experience with my iPod mini is also the stupidest thing I've ever done to it:

Well, the worst that ever happened to my mini is when I was walking down a concrete staircase and tried to get something out of the same pocket that my mini was clipped to. So as my hand left the pocket, so did the mini, the earphones jack snapped out and it fell down in front of me and kept tumbling down several steps before stopping. The only protection it had was the belt clip. I picked it up, swearing out load, looked at it, and realised with a shock that it was still playing. I connected the earphones and it played happily on. With the skip protection on these small wonders I'm actually convinced it played continuously through it all. It's still working flawlessly to this day.

I put that one on the account for extreme luck, and started securing it extra with the earphones cord. Now I let the cord go into the clip, so that if it tries to "jump" out of my pocket again, hopefully, it will hang from the cord without ever reaching the ground. Luckily, I've never have had to test if the security measures will actually work, as I've become more careful as to put other things in the "iPod mini pocket".

My precious little green mini is still going strong. I might not get a good 9 hours battery life, as I did when it was in its prime, but still get more than I need for an average day's use...
