QUOTE(yetieater @ Sep 21 2006, 11:03 PM) Oh come on, not everyone knows about metal treatments. Google. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodized#Anodized_aluminiumBuild up a potential difference, cause aluminum to oxidize, forming a protective layer of aluminum oxide that keeps your gadgets safer from scratches. Thanks. Something like iPod Mini |

for those who didnt know....there are many ways you can "color" aluminium. You can simply paint them, powder coat them, alodine them, or anodize them. Anodizing is the preferred method, especially if the anodized layer is really thick, as they are very scratch resistance. You can DIY anodizing at home with a car battery charger, some battery acid (sulfuric acid) and some fabric dye. If you have an old ipod mini, you can actually take off the casing, strip off the anodized layer, and reanodize + dye them to other colors you want  |

I do not like the new Nano. It feels "out of proportion" if you get what I mean. Besides, why Anodising? It looks very "before" after the iPods all upgraded to plastic with gloss coating. Apple should've used Durabis for coating iPods hehe.  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durabis) |
