Boogiman Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Sup ppl Well, lastnight i was going out and had to sit in the bus for 30 minutes to pick up some friends. I was like "hey, great time to test drive my brand new Ipod :cool: ". Was sitting in the bus, put some music on, and sit back and relax :) . After the 30 mintes when i was at the destination, switches of my Ipod. But, what was that? I looked at my BRAND NEW IPOD and there where scratshes on the display, becaus in the same pocket where i put my Ipod in the where some coins. I was like "MOTHER****ER &^%&*$%*& (<-piep)" You can figure what the problem is, the scrathes. My question is, is there any way to remove those or can I buy a new casing or something? :cry: :angry: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/301109-noo-my-new-ipod-ed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfoos Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Maybe that acrylic eyeglass repair stuff would work on a ipod display. I don't know if anyone has tried it but it may work.

rbeasley07 Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Happened to me when i first had my ipod too, put it in my pocket with my keys accidently and it left a big ass scratch on the screen. Three months later it broke and i got a new one under warranty, so it all worked out fine. I know this doesnt help just thought i'd cheer you up with my good fortune Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/301109-noo-my-new-ipod-ed/#findComment-585674231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
loc[a]lhost Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 I know the feeling :pinch: I could never have thought the iPod is THAT sensitive... I always thought only the metal part is the one that could be scratched easily, and put the earbuds in the front side of the iPod in a case. it's so scratched now...

saxondale. Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 iCleaner will remove it and buy yourself an iSkin, thats pretty much the only way you can get rid and protect your iPod Here is a review between iCleaner & Ice Creme http://ipodlounge.com/reviews_more.php?id=3389_0_6_0_M Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/301109-noo-my-new-ipod-ed/#findComment-585674263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Veteran Posted March 26, 2005 Veteran Share Posted March 26, 2005 I scratched it once, scratched it again. Dropped it, slammed it in a car door - and now I really cannot be arsed to keep it nice. If it wants to get scratched - it can. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/301109-noo-my-new-ipod-ed/#findComment-585674307 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vice Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 your ****** sorry. there was some company that made iPod chemical for this reason to buff out scratches and stuff but it didn't work very well reviewers said it wasn't worth the money. I suggest you buy a new iPod and this time get a case. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/301109-noo-my-new-ipod-ed/#findComment-585674524 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, what I've realized is that though the iPod is pretty, it's not a child. You can't constantly baby it. It's going to get scratched with time, and there's really no reason for a case. It's like if we lived in a bubble to keep us from ever getting sick.

rbeasley07 Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 dip it into water, and return as defective :) 585676501[/snapback] hahaha thats awesome On a bit of a tangent here, when i returned my ipod as defective, they didnt even ask me for a receipt or nothing ito actually prove purchase. They just took my number and said we'll call you when we have a replacement. This is all at a genuine apple store. Got my new ipod with never having to show a receipt. Couldnt believe it.
