Is it just me or does the home button "feels cheap?"

[j5tar]

I personally think it feels pretty cheap and not as durable as other iPod buttons.

Oops, I mean to put the "home button."

[dellavoce]

Might be just you.

I don't think it's cheap, I would have thought they use some surface type button but then I thought this was better as it would not go off by accident.

[YankeezGirl]

I don't find it cheap at all I like it a lot.

I expected it to be a touch-button at first, much like the 3G iPods, but I've come to like the home button. It gives a nice tactile feel after using the touchscreen for a while with zero feedback.

It is nice, I like how the shape is all pretty sleek and concave downward toward the device. It adds a nice "touch" to it.

Mine does move around a bit after I started using it for a while, but it's not alarming by any means.

i don't like how when you look at it in the sun, it looks like a dark blue. It looks like that color when you get scotch tape wet, or when you spill a little water on the side of a picture you printed from a camera.

Simple reason for having the home and power buttons are actual physical switches is so that when ipod/iphone crashes there is a means to switch the device into different modes (like recovery mode)

You need that physical bios level interupt

But other than that .... yeah .... not massive fan of the button

Yeah, jeez, that STUPID sun and all the (life it sustains) COLORS IT DISTORTS! Look at it, setting in the west like it thinks maybe it's pretty. All yellow and orbiting and stuff. UGH. iPods > sun, you know.

If you're honestly THAT nitpicky, why did you bother leaving your house? 'Cause, ya know, it gets NO easier out there!

yeah mine i can kinda feel it moving a little tiny bit clockwise and counterclockwise. are they all like this?

dude, there's finally someone that agrees with me. the sun does distort the color too much.

Don't forget the iPod gnomes. Always coat your iPod with a thin layer of myrrh and sage oils before you leave the house.

It's a tiny bit loose, but that should never be a problem because the button is entirely recessed. It's not going to get snagged on your clothes and rip off.

Better a bit loose than hard to push down due to friction.
