DD is having one for her birthday looking for some accessories, what would you recommend. Was thinking about some speakers maybe but nothing too expensive

My Dd's have a docking station. Think they were about £30 from Argos. They have rubber penguin cases on them too.

I was wondering if a Docking Station would be better than speakers but then again wouldnt want to be transporting this to and fro so speakers as well

A rubber case is a must

More charging cables than you would imagine possible.

yikes!

Do you think a docking station is needed, do yours have speakers as well?

I would stick with just the iPod and a good protective case initially, actually - it'll become obvious over time if more or different charging cables are needed, and I'd keep speakers/fancy headphones/docking stations in reserve for future birthday/Christmas presents. But then I'm stingy Grin

But yes, I second a case. I'm careful with my stuff and have totally smashed two iPod touch screens just by dropping the thing a few inches on to the floor at just the wrong angle.

my dd has a docking station with speakers in her room as she listens to music as she goes to sleep. It has a timer so it switches off itself after a set time. She tends to play games on it during the day rather than listen to music so doesnt really need extra speakers too.

DD doesnt have a cover for hers, should maybe get one for her

Definitely a protective case.

DS2 plays games on his rather than listening to music. DS1 does listen to music, but on a £30 Sansa Clip. He just uses earphones with it.

We have one of these - cheap and cheerful and while it doesn't look so neat, any more, it's a lot more robust.
