iPod shuffle design flawed? Pic inside
Not sure if I'm the only one that this has happened to but, yesterday I was removing the shuffle from the shuffle dock and the bottom portion of the shuffle snapped off. Full pic here along with updates:

that piece is not glued on by Apple, and it's not long enough to get the structural support needed for it's position.
I was thinking this would happen when I first saw the shuffle disected.

just buy a new one.
I hope that doesn't happen to me...
Those prices you name there are a disgrace.. $500 for a 1-2 businessday replace?? how insane is that.. pff.
I like apple a lot but sometimes i can't follow those guys..
money maniacs!

After a week or so of putting up with it, I took it to be repaired at the local reseller. They ended up just replacing it with a new shuffle which so far hasn't had any similar symptoms.
I had a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 ... 45,000 miles and the power steering pump, the fog lights and the serpentine belt all crapped out on me. Of course it's 9K out of warranty and Dodge wants me to pay for it, but I complained enough and to enough people to where they recanted and did the repairs under "warranty."
I understand your situation ... as loyal as I am to Apple, they can try to give you the go-around when it comes to warranty repairs. Don't pay for this ... make Apple fix their mistake...
