Good, you’re using that word rather generally I think.

So when you talk of good, are you talking about audio quality, convenience or 
what?

I myself - as previously stated - wonder why it is that the iPod - given varied 
reviews and comments I’ve read on the subject - doesn’t have as good a quality 
audio output through its Headphones socket as does the iPhone - and even then 
that’s not the best - when the whole idea of the iPod really is to play music 
in the first place.  One can only assume therefore that Apple don’t really give 
a damn about the Audio Quality aspect of the iPod any more and probably want to 
kill it completely in the end anyway.

I’ve not heard the quality of audio from the internal Speaker of the iPod, I’ve 
not owned an iPod since the forth generation iPod touch, the speaker in that 
was very small but audio was reasonable from that so if the Internal speaker 
has improved then that’s a good thing but I never ever deemed it totally 
necessary for an internal speaker in a device for music playback in the first 
place so its not a deal breaker for me - who in there right mind would listen 
to music through the Internal speaker of an iPod for long periods anyway - 
<smile>.

On the other hand the speakers - yep two - in the iPad Mini 4 which I got for 
my Birthday last year are damn magnificent considering the size of the device, 
not stella stuff for music no but certainly great when you want to listen to 
radio broadcasts, watch audio documentaries, sit on the couch and work with 
your iPad all day, conduct voice/video calls and so on, I don’t want to 
overstate things but I reckon the audio from the iPad Mini would have to be 
about the best you’ll get from a tablet of that size.

As for cases for the iPad Mini, its been my experience that whoever an iPad 
exists then the case you desire is not too far away and probably the best place 
to look for cases is on eBay, I found the cases I wanted there in around 5 
minutes and they didn’t cost me an arm and a leg either.

You could of course go to the Apple Store and see what they’ve got.
