iPods to school?

[AcM0720]

How many of you take your iPods to school for on the bus? I can't, not that i would want to.. We have a few bad kids that i know would steal it (if they even knew what it was lol)
I only take my cd player on the bus, it was a pretty good deal for thirty. Anyways, i just want to know if yall take your ipods to school and where you keep them during hours.
Thanks,
AcM

well if you do bring maybe you can get a case for it or something that doesn't advertise that it's an iPod...for example I have a body glove PDA case for mine...if you look at it you would never know it was an iPod...as compared to just my iskin...which pretty much screams iPOD! If I were to bring mine to school I would bring it everywhere I go, my backpack comes with me everyone so that works well for me, but I know not everyone wears a backpack.

I think that it was a mistake to tell people that i had one, they might have told the people at my school who take an intrest on pawning precious mp3 players off.. lol maybe ill start taking it to school, when i get a bit older...

I take it to school on public transit. I keep it in my backpack which NEVER leaves my sight! I also have other expensive stuff in my backpack, so I'm sure to always keep it with me. Also, I use regular old headphones and keep the unit in my bag or pocket and out of sight.

[AcM0720]

Do you have a lock on your backpack for all your expensive stuff? cause i might consider it if my pack was locked.

[cwalker0]

No, I just keep it on me at all times and never let it out of my sight. Are you in highschool? I know some schools don't let you have your bag in the class. If you have no way of keeping your bag with you, I wouldn't buther with a luggage lock. They're pretty easily broken into.

[AcM0720]

Im not in high school, im in Jr high.
I was thinking a combo lock, one without a key.

I shall be bringing mine to school next year. Since I wont have PE next year I wont have to worry about it being stolen while its in the locker. As long as its with me itll be safe.

I'm in the UK and take mine to school everyday, it's been fine. Im in 6th form (thats the year/grade before university) i take it on the walk to school, it keeps my occupied and my teachers are pretty relaxed about me using it in class if i'm just getting on with my work. There are some kids in the school who wouldn't say no to it if it (my ipod) was all alone but i just keep it in my pocket or in my rucksack and don't let it out of my sight. I've got it insured as well just to be sure but still don't want it stolen.

[AcM0720]

Yeah, im thinking about getting it insured.
I have a black gba sp with a black leather case and i leave it in my locker. I doubt that anyone would even know how to break into the PE locks anyway, lol

I used to take my old one to school. It was pretty safe. But i never took my mini.

[AcM0720]

maybe ill take it in the future. My school year is almost over anyway.

Taking a iPod to school can be a risky business![P]I myself have been in the situation of bringing a iPod to school. I wanted to not only listen to the music on the bus, but show it to all my mates that not able to see it out of school hours. In the end I was finally persuaded by my mother against the idea. For example a lot of people will want to have have one. They are soo small, that they are the perfect item to steal. I would advise you not to take it to school

Why have something so tiny and portable if you don't take it places with you??! Considering that 5 days a week are spent at school, I could never leave it at home. I just have it in my pocket all of the time.. except when I let my friends use it. I guess everyone knows I have one, because of the headphones. You see the white headphones at my school fairly often though.. quite a few other people have iPods too.

Sypher's got the idea....why have an extremely portable devide that you payed a lot for, and keep it at home? I'm in grade 10, and my ipod is almost always with me in my pocket. Whenever I have PE class, I just hide it in my locker, besides I don't show off my ipod, so only my close friends know I have one so far(just got it a week or so ago). I'm not scared to bring it to school because I can adequately defend myself if someone were to try and beat me up for it....I weightlift and I'd say I'm stronger then most people in my grade.
