Packaging and basic equipment
We begin our familiarization with the packaging. Take a close look at what the manufacturer offers in the standard kit. The iPod Touch 5 player is packed (you can read the specifications right away in the instructions) in a stylish and compact container that imitates the outline of the iPod, which adds intrigue. The basic equipment includes:

On the front side under the screen is the Home button. On the back of the gadget is Loop - a patented device for attaching the strap. You can bring it to the "open" position with the touch of a finger. After fixing the strap on the iPod Touch 5 (the characteristics of testing the fastener were carried out under different conditions), it closes easily. Note that, according to the manufacturer, the fixation is very durable. The strap withstands various power loads, does not break and does not break out over time in the device’s socket.
