looks great, plays most of my music. It had been dropped more than once and still looks good and has only a couple of small scratches. Well worth it and the speakers are great if a little quiet. I also like the changeable memory card.

The mains charger has been replaced once as the "pin" is very fragile and this is apparently a known problem. Also the cover on the USB cable "port" has been tricky to open at times and no longer fits in properly. Otherwise first class!!
