Hi Russ, The iPod Touch Fifth Gen is actually the same size as far as screen size ad it does have the Lightning connector which I think is more the issue. The only thing that is different is that the iPod Touch is thinner than the iPhone 5 and that the edges in the back are slightly rounded instead of being square like on the iPhone. But any dock that works for the iPhone 5 should work for the iPod Touch Fifth Gen.

I would assume the doc you made reference to is, made for the iphone 5? -----Original Message----- From: Rick Alfaro Sent: Saturday, October 26, 2013 8:55 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPad Mini for Listening, bluetooth speakers and the Turtleshell, was: Today's iPad event Rus, sorry, I don't get your point. Your 5th gen iPod has a lightning connector doesn't it? I don't get why you think the info I gave isn't aplicable.
