how can i get rid of the scratches?
can i use a polish like the ones they use for the car?
hehe....
pls help!

u din read mags meh??? ipod nano is prone to scratches....

toss it into the dustbin then buy new one lol, i dont think you can get rid of the scrathes

that's almost 1k to throw away ipod nano.... ouch... it hurts man...

The best thing about iPod is that they produce expensive silicone case for you to "protect" your iPod, but when you insert your iPod into the silicone case and take it out, you'll notice the silicone case has added many scratches on your iPod, cool, isn't it?

That's what happened to my Nano

erm.. if u go thru some old post, there was a thread teaching u guys to clear the scratches... one will be using brasso..
hehehe

protect it with a good protective cover then it is SAFE

erm... wad case u use? so far the iskin has been fantastic!!

I think that is very very deep scratch.

deep scratches????
on urs?

i've read the forum b4... i know can get scratches easily... but somehow also will kena wan mah... damn heart pain when i saw the scratches...
so i wanna get rid of it la... but i don't know how... that's y i'm asking around loh! haha...
btw, i did use the silicon case... but it's the screen that's been scratched!

screen??

buy screen protector lah ..yoh.

huh.. use silicone case n kena scratched? omg wad case u use?

Must be due to massive drop or something like that... The best thing to do is to change the casing and get something more durable, like the rubber casing that i got for my pink iPod mini (the previous one)... As for my current silver mini, its protected by the plastic, transparent casing that came with the unit (second-hand, btw)...

Btw, u should see my pink one... The scratches are lagi kau-kau and most obvious on the back of the unit! But not to worry, despite the scratches, quality matters and if the sound/display/playability is not affected, the unit is still considered fine!

Can't recall what brand is that but I bought it for RM89 at the Mac Centre in Midvalley.

Never mind, since the scratch is already there, there is no use for me to change to another protector. Best of all, just wrap it with the silicone case 24x7 and don't take it out so I can't see the scratches afterall, lol

Thanks.

scratch the whole layer off. then won't have anymore scratches, only the screen will be thinner.

huh? scratch the whole layer off? wat u talking? then got more scratches rite???
wat u use to remove the layer so nicely?

I don't know why so many people complain about scratches on their nano. God knows what the hell they're doing to it. My nano has 0 scratches on it, and I've never applied any sort of proctection. It usually lives in my jeans pocket.

Not bad lah u inferno... U really know how to take good care of your ipod, my man!

i need help here la guys... pls stop posting if u're not helping... thanks!

Tchiaming, i think you'd better find out more info from the guys at the applecenter... At least they can help you with suggestions or products to remove the scratches...

Watch this baby!

Wah lau eh ! How come the condition of these two iPods are so cham 1?

Like dat means both units are virtually condemned in terms of appearance lah...

Oh GOD NO!!!! WHAT HAPPENED?? NO MAN!! I AM GONNA HAVE NIGHTMARES!!

Wah... That must be amongst the toughest durability test undertaken on any gadget!

indeed yes, they tested almost everything even open it. great job.

yup... great job!

but did they say anything that might clean those scratches??? hehe...

Wow, that means the iPod is such a small gadget but with superb durability!

But just like what tchiaming asked, are there any products that can remove scratches, not just from ipods but also things like laptops, PDAs, cellphones etc?

still have no idea yet, hopefully there's a solution to remove the scratches~

Yup, if such a product were to really be avail. in the market, it will be one of the most sought-after items!

agree!

hey guys, what kind of screen protector you use on your nano huh? where to get? just got my nano, so kinda new to this.

I've been using iPods since the very first generation and I've never used a case to protect any of my babies. I say just enjoy the damn thing and don't worry about getting scratches. You're not gonna use it forever anyway.

But if you really get so freaked out with scratches and all, you might want to check out the iCleaner. And for those of you who've been thinking about getting a nano but kind of worried about the scratch proneness, you might want to get the iPod nano from JR.com, it's painted with X2 scratch-resistant liquid plastic coating.

Cheers.

hmmmm where can i get icleaner?

yeah... where can we get that? is it available in malaysia?

erm..
icleaner ar.. hahahah
some spark jus went offf

where can get icleaner???

y dont u guys just put it in a silicon case or any other protective case and dont even take it out anymore. then u wont know whether its scratched or not. Or just go and skin ur nano. that should do it.

last time i used to protect my ipod 20g 4G with the silicon thing for almost a year..that thing makes it looks and feels fatter of course. so one day i wasnt happy with it and i just remove it and never to use again. today my ipod 4G is filled with scratches and i dont care coz i got my nano.hehe

look at www.icleaner.com
rather expensive though...

hahaha.. poor ipod... u dun wan then giv me mah... ipod 4g=collectors item liau.. dun need torture it.. so cruel....
anyway, the silicone skin really protects... as for it being fat.. I dun really mind cos it is my precious...
hhehee .. anyway, the nano skins now are really slimm... 1mm nia

sandpaper it. go from low grit to high grit. finish off with car polish or soemthing.

if you really need to ask about things like these, which can easily be googled, you shouldnt even own a nano (or any other ipod for that matter) in the first place. heh.

LOL sand paper meh ? didnt scratch the ipod mer ?

i guess you cant understand the term 'sarcasm' very well, ey?

ermm...
do u really need to be tht sarcastic?
LOL....

btw, i did some checking d... i don;t think we can find icleaner in malaysia!

indeed.

haha....i just got my iskin...so i decided to try to remove some of the scratches on my nano before i but the skin on....

i tried a few products on a cd.....toothpaste, brasso, and some car polish

the brasso seemed to work the best on the cds...so i decided to give it a go on my nano

i started on the back...well it made the shinney metal shine more....i then applied it on the front....

i look at it now and think that i made it a little worst...lol...but its hard to see

holy crap! thanks for this post man! haha.. i wanted to try that myself! thank god i didnt!

wowowo,,,,that a good sharing. don do it on ur ipod!!

i dont have an ipod but here are some links from digg.com that might help som of u
http://www.angelfire.com/planet/pod/
http://todd.dailey.info/archives/2005/09/2...-can-of-brasso/

hey! thanks for the info man.. very good read...
but according to satish87, he used a brasso but he didnt manage to clear the scratches!
n btw, wat is iklear? can we get it? according to that article.. he used iklear to clean his ipods...

ei gee jun...bring in something dat can get rid of scratches...i'm a rough user..my ipod is like me...full of scratches all around...i was thinking since it's that cacated already..maybe i should consider doing some scratch metal effect on its back...so it won't look that ugly...

hi huys
may i know where did u all bought ur brasos?
i tried harvey norman, ace hardware and OU but still coundt find it

haha...now the iskin is ON.....ntg to scare.....every ipod user get the iskin~!! u won't regret with that~!

Hmmm, the brasso thingy is interesting as a CD-protector... Where can i get it and how much does it cost?

But i think the iSkin is cool... It should be like an outer layer to the iPod that helps absorb hard landings and scratches, don't u think?
