this is beautiful but not practical for me at all. I wanted to replace my ipod nano 3rd generation with a new model, alas I discover by receiving that they changed the connector and to connect the enclosure to my cradle, I have to buy more l 'Lightning to 30-pin adapter to 29.00. Also, I used as an alarm clock, and this feature has disappeared. In the end I preferred to keep my 3rd generation that works very well.
