Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / August 2004iPod scratching
All: I've had my 40Gb click wheel iPod for just a couple of weeks and it's already getting all scratched up. I use it a lot, but I wonder if I'm abusing it, or if that's just the price of doing business? None of the older generation cases work with the click wheel. Can't wait to see more of them released for this version. just curious. cheers, ericp > All: > > I've had my 40Gb click wheel iPod for just a couple of weeks and it's > already getting all scratched up.

There's a fluid you can buy that can help buff out some of the scratches. Sorry, can't remember what it's called; I just remember reading about it in MacAddict quite awhile ago. > None of the older generation cases work with the click wheel.

Get over it and enjoy the music. Davoud Signatureusenet *at* davidillig dawt com > Get over it and enjoy the music. > > Davoud good advice everyone! You know, I have some experience in this sort of thing... I'm a guitar player, and I've always thought that the first scratch on a new guitar is the worst. After that, it's all about adding "character." On the other hand, I have noticed that scratches on the plastic directly over the display are distracting, depending on the angle of the light. I'm definitely gonna find a case for this thing so I can throw it in my back pocket and forget about it. thanks all ericp > thing...

As my friend said... a scratched, well-used ipod is a happy ipod. > I use it a lot, but I wonder if I'm > abusing it, or if that's just the price of doing business? as people age, they often develop wrinkles. It's called character. same deal with your ipod > All: > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > cheers, > ericp Every single Apple product scratches like crazy. Unlike PC users, Mac users want to keep their stock in great shape because it's initially very beautiful. However, the plastic, metal and everything else that Apple uses is sh.t and scratches easily. This was the case of my iBook that scratched like crazy, my iPod that is ridiculously scratched and iMacs as well. My Powerbook doesn't scratch as much, but it still manages to get a few. Let's face it, our equipment is gorgeous and we don't want to lose any of its aesthetic value but we have no choice. SignatureAndre Matuch email: cellfish[NOS@PAM]slimey.ca |
