I came across my Scosche RF Remote Control today, while I was looking through my drawer of iPod accessories for items I would weed out. This one's a keeper. br /br /I've used this remote control for the past two summers, and I've been very happy with it. I leave my iPod inside my upstairs window, connected to a wireless speaker transmitter. I tuck the remote control and my phone into a waterproof pouch, and then I can control my iPod tracks and volume from my floating pool lounge, without worrying about my ipod getting dropped or soaked (and without having to get out of the pool to pause the music so I can answer the phone). I was impressed with the range of the device, which in my experience is slightly greater than the manufacturer's spec. Keep in mind, I'm using it outdoors, so the only obstruction is a window. My wireless speakers don't pick up or cause any interference when using the Scosche RF remote.br /br /I only use it while attached to a wall charger, through the pass-through, so I can't comment on battery drain. br /br /It's a really nifty gadget that has held up well to the repeated cycle of heavy use and storage I've subjected it to.br /br /This was the first Scosche product I ever tried, but since then, I've made several Scosche accessory purchases and I've come to trust the brand. They haven't let me down.

Not awful, but not too good either - Alejandro Valerin - Miami, FL, 33166
I purchased this remote for my Ipod Video (30GB). When I first took it out of the box, I was very happy, its color is the same as my iPod (black) and it also has the same width.br /br /The unit fits OK with the iPod and the remote control is small and cool, but I found some flaws:br /br /1. The unit easily disconnects if you maneuver the iPod in the car, for example, and I don't mean a drastic movement.br /br /2. The remote control, it says up to 150ft.... yeah right, that is NOT true, even within the car (I have a small car) if you don't point the remote directly to the unit, it won't work. It also is kind of slow when you push the button to change a song and when the iPod actually change it.br /br /The reason I rate this with 2 stars is because the unit, when it works, takes away that uncomfortable task to change the song by touching the iPod itself.br /
