i'm gonna forego the extra switches.
it makes everything look too cheesy.
i think the design could be improved more, but as it stands, it looks good enough. not great, but to the point where i wouldn't be ashamed to be carrying it. plus the silver should match my mini ipod.
if you want bass, just use the ipod EQ. you'll have to mp3gain all your songs down a bit, but otherwise... no problems.
