I’ve heard quite a bit about problems with the iPod Nano scratching very easily, even when simply put in contact with normal clothing fabric. The most prominent story is probably one over on Engadget talking about it, but you can also find numorous complains on the Apple forums about this problem.
I don’t know about you guys, but I always find it a tad hard to believe when random people complain about failures in a product. I mean, how bad could a few scratches actually be? The back of my 40 gig iPod (pre-death) was all kinds of scratched, but honestly, did it matter?
Welp, now I’ve got a reputable source: Matt… Looks like I’ll be waiting until the Nano gen2 comes around to invest my life savings into one (kinda sad that’s all I have saved, isn’t it?)… Anyone else have something to say about the Nano? I’d love to hear some more in-depth opinions of it, both good and bad.
After reading the news about the Nano Ipod, I think these people are a little too ridiculous…. How would you treat a 400 SGD of mp3 player… definitely treat it with care right?
If the user is not going to take care of their precious nano, then stop complaining that its easily scratched. So what is the reason that apple comes out with products like screen protectors and protective tubes? Its simply to protect the nano from getting scratched… duh….
I agree entirely. I’ve had my new 60gb iPod Photo for 2 weeks now, and you don’t hear me complaining about the scratches on the nice shiny silver back, now do you? No, because I expect these kinds of things.
We’ll see how well Apple’s lawyers do arguing your point in the class action suit that’s been brought against them for the “flaws” in the Nano product line…
