Fark Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I read that this was just Scotchcal - which is the stuff they use to protect the areas of some expensive cars from scratching and so on. It seems pretty tough.I don't expect anyone knows where you can buy strips of this stuff in the UK that are big enough to fit a regular Ipod? Don't forget, regular ipods are hardly immune to scratching either.

shadowmatt Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 I started this topic to help people who had or were considering buying an Apple nano. So far from myself and a few other determined people we have had the story covered by many major news outlets and websites. They have now admitted that a batch of ipod nanos did suffer form a screen cracking problem.See here All Apple had to do was fix the problem. Now it seems Apple have either locked or deleted any topic covering the scratches issue. Deleting new ones as they are posted. If only the R&D staff had worked as hard as the forum staff this problem would have been avoided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtac Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Got my box today, shipping it back tommorow.

ck2k01 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 for people with scratches, 1 word: brasso http://todd.dailey.info/archives/2005/09/2...-can-of-brasso/ i tried the process today, and it worked miracles on my scratched nano. beyond that, i actually called apple today to inquire about a replacement before i found this cure (which they supposively are no longer giving, only refunds), and the lady told me the scratching issue was in a "top board meeting" this afternoon, and that they were discussing serious solutions (like using better ****ing plastic!) to apply. im just relaying what the lady said, this may not be 100% accurate...
