iPod touch is the ipod touch too thin??

anyone else agree?? when i am holding it browsing the web or something it just doesn't feel right. sometimes it has slipped because of how thin it is and slipped into the gap in the couch. i just feel if it was a bit thicker it would nicely fit in the hand. however, i do love the thiness of it when comparing to other iPod's and when it is in my pocket.

i always hold it in landscape mode when im browsing the web, it feels right with typing.
 
ooooh no, i dont think its too thin!

I love its sleekness..... if that's a word!

And now with invisible shield (scratch protection) and a sock while in transit (idiot protection) i dont freak about dropping it at all.

God, its been about 6 weeks now, and i am soooo in love with this thing :D
 
I think it's perfect. A bit heavy, but I suspect that's due to the glass.

Steve Jobs probably hates the Touch for being too fat though. His obsession is to make it so thin that it's invisible from the side. Perhaps in the form of a plastic film, with a battery that lasts about 8 seconds. Totally useless of course, but who cares -- it would be THIN, right Steve?

I have this Logitech mouse that comes with two lithium batteries. One is being charged in the USB receiver while the other is in use. This would be a perfect solution for iPhone and the iPods. It would however require a battery door, but Johnny Ive is too smug and Steve is too greedy to grace the mobile Apple world with such a godsend...
 
ok, from an owner of an iPhone and iPt (iPhone came second) I LOVE THE iPhone, so much better in the hand, no sharp edges, very swish. Apple need to remove the sharp edge, make it more round like the iPhone then it will be good. TO ALL iPt owners, u so want an iPhone, i can tell.

Yet it would be very cool to see an iPod with only one side :D
 
Yes. Too small in my hands. I loaded it into this:

Love it.

Oh, its the Otterbox Defender, sorry
 
it felt really fragile in my hand but the second i put my PINK silicone case on it was much better. :D
 
No, it's not too thin. Especially not if you carry around with you (in a pocket, etc).

In use, it isn't too thin to grip (obviously, imo).

I agree. I did the same exact thing. The iPhone looks HUGE to me... hehe.
 
nah, I think it's fine, I just wish the text wouldnt default to that huge size whenever you turn it landscape.
nice and robust too!

and, it's a much nicer size than the iPhone, I mean, look at normal phones, only slightly bigger than iPod touch size.
 
Had a chance to handle one in Best Buy for the first time, and yea, it's quite slim, but it still feels sturdy, unlike other thin devices like the RAZR
 
Its nice, mine doesn't feel too thin, it feels sleek. I especially love holding it horizontally and placing my two thumbs on either side of the rim (where the home button is and the other side). Thats when it feels thin but I like it!:D
 
When I first picked up an iPhone, it was pretty dang thin. Now, when iPick up my touch, itSeems like it iSn't there, and iGet iRritated because iScratch my hands on the angled edge.

iPologies for the grammar.
 
I have the DLO jam jacket for it so it doesn't feel very thin. But without the jacket it does feel almost too thin. The only reason I want it a bit thicker is to allow a better battery.
 
I like the thinness, it makes it feel sleek and sexy. However, I also feel that if dropped, it would REALLY hurt it. So, I bought the black Incase protective cover (just a rubber back basically) and it makes it feel very solid.
