Do ipod Nano screens crack and scratch easily with normal use?
86267
"Normal use" is a pretty relative term. For some that means jamming it into their jeans and having it endure whatever comes its way...for others it's safely stowing it away or placing it on a desk and listening to it. Either way, the nano screen won't crack easily. However, the entire nano scratches easily, regardless of how you treat it. There are so many microscratches and fingerprints that can be seen across anybody's Ipod Nano. However, there is a way to prevent this. Get a hard case and put the Nano in it immediately. Don't even use the Nano until you get a case...otherwise you'll end up with smudges and other indesirable traits...

Possibly try a polishing cloth, or take it into an apple shop and ask if they have any options.

I agree with most people. You will have to buy a new LCD screen. You warranty might cover accidental damage, check into that first.\n\nIf not http://www.screentekinc.com or eBay should have your screen.\n\nGood luck.

LCD screens are very delicate. Once they are scratched thats it. I use a screen protector for my PDA, but would be way too hard to install on a laptop!

You can get an ipod nano (the smallest) for less than £100 now (use a kelkoo seach to find the cheapest online) and get an arm band strap for about £15 or so. I borrowed a friends nano and arm strap when I did Race for Life this year and it was fantastic. As i use itunes on my computer, I'm personally holding out for an ipod this christmas!\n\nHowever, most people on here are right, it IS just an MP3 player and there ARE cheaper options. I'd suggest you google Which? and see if they have reviews (im sure they will)\n\nNot wanting to push Ipods BUT they have just bought on the new ipod shuffle which is the size of a matchbox and is literally a clip, so you just clip it onto your clothing.... The main thing about a shuffle is you can't go through it and select a particular artist etc, it just shuffles (plays randomly) all the tracks on it. However, if i went with that I'd only put on tracks that help me run anyway!!\n\nDefinitely google and go from there- most stores work on commission for different products so you might find it difficult getting a neutral view!\n\nGod bless the internet!

I have an iPod Nano, and I don't have either of those on my computer and it works fine. If you need it, just do a Google search and it may be able to be downloaded for free.

spoiled???   fall down???   you'll have to be a bit more specific with your terminology. I once worked for an amusement company repairing jukeboxes and video games, many of which had touch screens. I don't exactly understand what you're asking but the screen is actually a screen over a screen if it gets cracked or badly scratched it will not work(not properly anyway). and it's possible to drop one and do no damage at all to the touch screen itself but that's not to say that other components inside the device that the touch screen is on won't be damaged. The ones I worked on were glass overlays on the front of video game monitors, (CRT picture tubes or LCD flat screens). Many of these types of games can be found in clubs and bars. One in particular was messed up by a woman who was playing a game and got mad and hit  the machine when she lost the game. The screen got a bad scratch from one of the diamond rings she had on when she hit it. I then had to replace the touch screen, (all other parts of the game were ok). Although it is possible that no real (physical) damage would occur to either and that the screen would only need to be recalibrated. I did drop one from about 2 feet once and it was fine.

Go to a computer store and pickup some screen wipes ( they normally are soaked in a type of alcohol like ethanol or something to that extent ) They arent too expensive and those would work the best.

sorry--scratches are permanant.  I had to buy a new pair.  which made me mad because I really liked the ones i had, but i actually ended up liking the new pair way better, and my guy friend even noticed them.

Don't buy a Nano, because the screen scratches way too easy, and Apple isn't doing anything about it. The Video is also a better deal for your money, and the screen is great.

Good Points: a lot smaller than CD players, easy to figure out, can put MANY songs on them, you can listen to a lot of artists without having to change CD's or radio stations, you can hook them up to speakers, they have a lot of really cute cases, lots of really useful gadgets.\n\nBad Points: nanos are prone to dropping, headphones that come with them break easily (personal experience), they take a while to charge, if you don't have a wall charger you have to use the computer.

Well...Depends how into music you are. I got a shuffle for Christmas and I can't wait to get a Nano. It lasts at least a day when it is fully charged. It holds about 120 songs (depends how big the memory on it is). Then to replenish it you just plug it into the USB port on your computer. Or you can buy an outlet for it. You can either have it on "shuffle mode" where it plays random songs, or you can have it on "in order mode" where you put the songs in order by artist, genre, or song title in iTunes and that's what order it plays them inI don't know what it'll be like after 5 months. I don't know, 120 songs just isn't enough for me, but it may be for you. I got it to fit 132 though.

Yes, considering they both have metal in them. Did you think an iPod was made of plastic?
