So I got a second gen touch for Christmas, and I LOVE it... Except for this small hardware defect I found a few days ago. Well, I don't know how big of a deal it is, so I thought I would check with you guys. There is a slight looseness, a wiggle, in my volume buttons on the side. If I place my finger on them and move it up and down, I can feel it shifting. It makes me nervous, especially since the unit is so new.

Am I overreacting? Is this just expected, acceptable error? Does anyone else notice this?

Thanks guys! Good to be part of the iPod community, reguardless.
 
yep, so is mine, it does make me nervous too.

i wish they had made it stationary like the power button
 
Well, I took it to the apple store yesterday, and the guy said it wasn't a big deal, but he would replace it if I really wanted. :D I said, sure, I'll go for the replacement, but when he got into the process he found out that they didn't have any replacement units on the store. :(

So now they are going to order a unit and call me when it gets in... But now I am having second thoughts. What if the replacent unit is some refurb with it's own problems? Have you guys had any experience with exchanging iPods at the apple store?
 
Judging by the number of complaints on this thread, I'd say very few other iPods have this problem. As for other problems, the refurbs should be of higher quality because they have been tested more thoroughly.
