ehh, no warranty over 6 months?

Check if your country has laws that make it longer - I know it's longer in Norway.

No, they said the damage is not from "normal usage"

ie: Putting your iPod in your pocket while headphone jack is still plugged in voids your warranty.

well, maybe its just a piece of lint in the jack, and all you need to do is buy the 5 dollar thingee that takes it apart and you can remove the lint

Pretty sure we're protected against that shit over here. A friend of mine is good with this stuff.... Quite a few times they've been bitchy about it, but one time he brought "Norges Lover" (Book of Norwegian Laws), and actually showed them the paragraph stating he has the right for a new one and he got it

I brought it to the apple store and they gave me new ones everytime for free.

Sydney, how are you trying to return it? Here in the UK (it might be different in Iceland) you can simply go on the Apple support website and reqeust a repair, and basically you give them your credit card details, and they send you a new iPod along with a box to send it back in, and if you don't send the iPod back within 16 days or something, they charge you for it, but otherwise it's free.

I've done that with things that were clearly my own fault (broke the connector on my iPod shuffle dock, google for pics, it's kinda easy to do when you leave it on the floor ) and they didn't even ask any questions, just sent me a new one and took my old one back

Went down to the store myself and gave it to them for repairs (the only apple store in Iceland is like, a 5 minute walk away from my house)

That's what you get for buying overpriced Chinese crap.

Have I not told you about the build quality of Apple products?

Itoldyouso.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Have a look around the web for some info on Icelandic consumer/warranty law. These goods should be covered under some sort of "Apple, dude, your shit should last for at least a year" law.

Should've just said it broke on its own, never give them details! Even though I guess you would've thought that something like that wouldn't void the warranty, just.......well at least you've learnt a lesson. Also fuck Apple
