Ideal for using when you're on the go i.e the gym or when you don't have any pockets to put a heftier ipod in. So easy to use and looks smart too. I was concerned it might cause problems when using it on my laptop which i already have my larger ipod synced to but in actual fact it couldn't have been easier. I like the fact you can either choose what songs you have on your shuffle by simply clicking on them or you can choose for the ipod to pick up random songs to put on there. It's a really light device but still durable in the sense that when it's clipped on my trousers when i'm running in the gym i'm more than confident it don't come flying off at any moment. The only thing i'm not keen on is you can't lock it, you either have to leave it playing and hope you don't press random buttons or turn it off altogether. Also, it is a bit of a down point that you can't see what is playing as I have so many songs sometimes I hear a song I like but have no idea what it is. Although I did know this when I bought it so can't complain too much!
