I bought this because my ipod touch headphone jack stopped working while it was outside of warranty, apple wanted £75 to replace the ipod, or i was told, i could have a company repair it for around £45 so this remote saved me a bit of money. It is a bit fiddly at first, but once you are used to it, it becomes easy to use and more convenient than pulling the ipod out your pocket every time you want to choose a new playlist or skip a song.
Very good - does what it says. Only niggle: the display is impossible to read in ambient light.
