It's just like the regular iPod. Get a case first before heavy use.

Yup. I have practiced great self-discipline in not opening up any new iPod until its accompanying protective case is beside it. Neither my 3G (which wasn't even technically new) or…

Guess I'll have to go get a case then! Late- Alex

I own a U2 Special Edition iPod.These gadgets get scratched.You have to come to terms with it...However these scratches are only visible in broad daylight.It's not annoying whatsoe…

As someone who has owned a number of iPods, I can tell you that the first thing to do is use a PDA screen protector on the screen. That should be the minimum level of protection.

Keeping the nano scratch-free until cases come out is fairly easy this time around. Simply leave the plastic sticker on the front (not to be confused with the loosely wrapped 'do n…

I was just at Tekserve to look at the new nanos. Beatiful little things in every way and really amazingly thin and light. BUT, they looked like crap because they were all scratched…

Great way to sell a case with their new purchase no?

Why does anyone care about the scratches? it's an mp3 player, you use it to play music. Stop babying it so damn much. I hate it when people add cases on and make a tiny product, sl…

the reason I care about scratches is that after just a few weeks of use the screen starts reflecting light in a annoying way because of all the scratches. The reason I care is that…

Get a case for it. Early adopters will suffer as always. I'm waiting for the cases to come out and then buying one for my wife. That's Life. (Sinatra)

Get Fellowes Writeright - it's sticky clear film for screen protection of PDAs. Cheap, durable, doesn't add any bulk, removes easily - perfect protection. I put this on the bac…

You can buy screen protectors that I do understand, or if you want my tip, take screen polish or polish (there are kinds made for this sorta thing) and use it, maybe somebody can r…

The screen protector for the mini works perfectly. I can't remember the name but it comes in a flat black envelope package. They're great I hear. If I can remember the name I'll ed…

I've had my black nano for less than 24 hours and it now looks like this: (Caution: largish JPG's) http://www.davidwells.com/site/media...scratches1.jpg http://www.davidwells.com/…

Man...what the f--- was in your pocket?

You can remove some scratches by lightly applying metal polish to the screen surface with a cotton ball, letting it dry slightly, and buffing with a clean cotton ball. Repeat if h…

There is special polish for screens... yeah and what was in your pocket? They do have those rivets you know. Just wrap it in a tissue then put it in there until you get a case. J…

Does the plastic protection that comes on the nano out of the box cover most of it or is it just the front? cheers, P
