Get a Contour Showcase or a similar case, and the raised material of the case around the buttons will make it just a little less "touchy." I have only had a problem with inadverten…

Wow. Unbelievable. See that chorome/orange slider atop your iPod. Move it. Now none of the buttons work. It's called a "Hold Switch" used to prevent button mashing anytime exc…

I am unaware of a hack for your problem. I use an iSkin and it takes care of it. To me doing an upgrade is out of the question right now. I like the 3G better than the 4G. It just …
