Tech toy: iPod or other mp3 player
How to care for it:

• Protect it in a slip or holder, unless you tote it (alone, not with coins or keys) in a dedicated pocket. Consider a protective skin if you have a larger screen model like an iPod Classic or iPod Touch.
• Clean it with lint-free electronic wipes. Use a Q-tip with just a tiny bit of alcohol (so it’s damp, not wet) around click-wheels or buttons.
• Charge it out of its case, to ensure air circulation and to avoid overheating.

Avoid:
• Tightly wrapping headphones or ear buds around the unit. This damages the wires.
• Leaving it in direct sun and extreme cold.
