really i have dropped my my 30g about 20 times now and first time was on a solid sheet of ice out of a second story window and nothin, it worked fine. i have had it for like 3 years now and the only thing that is wrong with it is that part of the screen doesnt work.... the thing is a freak of nature i guess. but yeah there is nothing i would really buy for a new nano, the headphone could use some upgrading and even then the headphones they come with create some good sound they are just uncomfortable in the helmet, i would suggest a nicer set of earbuds the nicer kind with the flexible ear tips.
