I got the new 1gig Nano (black) just a few days after it was released. I bought it because I figured I could not really worry about it getting scratched since it was relatively inexpensive. Well, I haven't been very careful with it, but although the back gets scratched, the front is perfect.
I've owned several iPods before, and I actually had the 4gig black Nano when it first came out, and in comparison, I have been rougher with this one, but no scratches so far. I'm thinking Apple is using a different plastic, or is putting some kind of coating to make them harder to scratch. I can find no accounts of this online however. |

Perhaps.
Or maybe the whole scratching thing was overblown as most cosmetic issues are? |

It's because of the new raised edge on the 1gb model.

It looks like someone just put a Crystal Film on the Nano. I have a crystal film on my iPod, and if not placed correctly it will not cover the front or back perfectly, and the edge will have that look to it.

the raised edges theory is bullshit. that would not protect it from getting scratched for shit.
It raises so little I tihnk it's just caused by a change in the material or something. I am quite certain that it doesn't scratch as easily as before though. |
