Rapid Repair iPod, iPhone and Zune Service
I use used a 4th generation iPod. It was glorious with it’s 20 gigabyte hard drive, paper weight styling and ability to be dropped onto concrete with fear not for the device but for the ground it landed upon.
That is until I decided to introduce it to my venerable friend. You may know him well and by many names and origins, but I like simply like to call the old bastard, beer. Miraculously the only thing that didn’t work after that sad, but funny, but sad introduction was the screen. That’s when I cursed out loud a few times then decided to see if I could salvage the beast.
In my Google searches I came across Rapid Repair, an iPod service center. They claim that 85% of the iPods they fix are less than $90. Using a three step process: diagnostic order, sending in device, and repair. After 48 hours I was given a quote for $30. About $299.99 less than I expected (roughly the price for a new iPod).
Outstanding. Well, long story short the unit has worked beautifully, it’s sitting plugged into an iPod Dock in my bathroom dutifully carrying out it’s remaining days as the music source for my shower karaoke sessions. Punishment? I think not.
If you’re looking for an iPod, iPhone or Zune (really… do you have a Zune?) then look no further than Rapid Repair. They even offer some basic mods like colored screens.
[...] H20 Audio Waterproof iPod Cases, Pretty Cool! From GP "I don’t usually listen to music when I workout. It messes with my pace and it’s just dangerous when I’m cycling through the city. But surfing is a whole different story. I’ve sat on my board in between sets wishing I could listen to the reverb of Dick Dale or the acoustic tones of Brian Wilson. Enter H2O Audio’s line of waterproof iPod cases and headphones. I first heard about these when I added swimming to my regular workouts about two years ago. But, I didn’t think of surfing with one until now. Or really until the big-wave surfer, Laird Hamilton, started promoting H2O Audio’s surf series. Not only has Hamilton started endorsing them, with his help they will be developing the “next generation of surf/music products.†Currently, they offer a wide range of cases that fit both older and newer iPods. They even have a case that fits the $50 iPod shuffle. All the cases in the surf series are water proof to 10 feet and have a LatchTight™ Locking Closure and a SealTight™ Connector. Basically, this means that your iPod will stay dry if you’re surfing the Jersey shore or the infamous North Shore. Also, their cases allow you to easily use the iPod scroll wheel under water. So next time your shredding waves or just waiting for the next big one, you can chill to your favorite surf music What this means to you: You can take your iPod into the water without worrying about a bill from Rapid Repair. Cost: $40-$80 @ H20 Audio " __________________ TeamSpeed.com The Ultimate Luxury Lifestyle Portal [...]

And I'd take any one of them over RapidRepair. They're neither rapid, nor do they repair. After paying for overnight shipping, I received the wrong parts, and they made me feel like it was my fault. Over a week later, I'm still hastling with them and now it seems they want ME to pay even more to fix THEIR mistake.
