Apple quietly bundles anti-scratch case with iPod Nano

Apple has apparently begun bundling a soft fabric slip-case with its iPod Nano, recent buyers of the diminutive digital-music player have claimed. According to a forum post on iPod fan website iLounge, the new cases are white and stamped with the iPod logo. Essentially it's the same type of case that ships with the new video iPod, but slimmed down so the Nano fits more snuggly.

So is this tacit recognition on Apple's part that the Nano is particularly scratch-prone? 'Tacit' it certainly is - there's no mention of the case on Apple's iPod Nano website or on the AppleStore Nano purchase page. The latter fact suggests the company hasn't reprinted the box art, just simply tucked the case in among the carton's other contents.

Bad, because this whole fiasco is a failure of people in general... on both sides. One the one hand those who bought a nano were flat out stupid. Steve Jobs makes designer electronic equipment... this is known by almost all now. And it's safe to assume that he assumes that those who buy it are going to treat it as such.

Sorry, but people who coddle and baby their toys report that the Nano scratches in cotton shirt pockets, WITH NOTHING ELSE in the pocket. Sure, some people put them in their pockets with other hard or metal objects, but are you seriously suggesting that everyone did this?
