I just got the iPod Nano after I returned my mobiBLU cube player

LOL, man you guys are babies.

I just got my Zen Touch 3 weeks ago and it already has scratches on it and it's been dropped twice from about 4 feet in the air on a concrete surface (btw, try that with your iPod)

It's called life. MP3 players are made to withstand life...not just to sit and look pretty. As long as it's not damaging the functionality, don't worry about a little scratch. Geez :roll:

How is a gym supposed to get it scratched? WTF. I had it in my basketball short's pocket the whole time, with NOTHING else in the pocket to scratch it.

I returned it already and got a full refund. The scratches on there were really fine so you can't see it unless you shined it under a light at an angle. No, I'm not bothered by those scratches, but I'm bothered by the fact that I got those scratches just by rubbing my ipod on the cloth of my jeans to clean them.

You ever see anyone buffing their car with their levis? Last time you stated, the device was scratched in your gym shorts. Now it was your denim pants? Last time I checked, denim isn't exactly known for it's soft qualities...

Apparently Cnet was bothered by it too
Along with hundreds of other people

You notice how a ton of those results, ARE FOR COVERS TO PREVENT SCRATCHES? The same sort of thing I bought for my cellphone. I didnt want scratches on the display, so I bought the protector. Sure it doesn't look as smart as the naked device, but my cellphone isn't obscured with scratches. Seeing how it's a visual run device, having the display crystal clear is a better trade off than having it look really nice for a shorter period of time.

You guys can talk all the crap you want, but I'm not alone on my side. Amazing how people here could get so worked up over something so small. :roll:

Sorry there, but ignorance is a HUGE problem. You bought a tiny delicate looking device to play music. You did not buy a Maglite, so don't expect to be able to wipe down your plastic screened devices with your denim pants.

For future reference, Plastic screen + Dust = Don't use denim to rub it. If you can remember that you should be ok.

I actually agree with virtualgames0 and that you should be able to return a product if you are not satisfied with it and that is what he did. I do think that there should have been a fee, however. When you buy something it's not a free trial at all- you bought it.

Now, there are only a few things in this world that bother me and stupidity is one of them, especially when coupled with inconsistancy. And that is the issue I have with virtualgames0, not the fact that he returned, technically, damaged goods.

You pointed out that people all over the internet are complaining about how easy it is to scratch an Ipod. I'd think that before dropping $200 on something you'd do a little research, no? What's the point of finding these things out after the fact? Just so you can feel better about not being the only whiney little bitch out there?

And if it makes sense to throw down extra cash for decent headphones, wouldn't it make sense to put in an extra $30 for a protective case/cover or... and you might want to sit down for this one.. an ARMBAND for the gym? If decent headphones over the stock ones increase your enjoyment of the product, wouldn't a screen cover do the same?

The biggest issue I have with you, though, are your analogies. They're awful, just terrible. Putting all your eggs in one basket? Cheap headphones and an expensive DAP is nothing like "putting all of your eggs in one basket." And your car fender falling off from regular use? Come on, man! How about something that's actually similar to what happened? You took your new car out on a dirt road (regular use, right?) and scratched the paint (or, gasp! the windshield?) from flying rocks (jeans! what the hell were you thinking?!). You make me embarrassed to like Frou Frou.

That's right.. news sites everywhere are addressing this issue that I was complaining about.

Too bad the general ATOT population is more interested about joining in on the flaming rather than looking at this issue objectively. :roll:

No no it's like when you take a dump and a little piece of poo hangs on and you have to wiggle your ass to get it to fall into the bowl.

No no wait it's more like when you stub your toe on a chair leg and you yell "fsck!" and the dog freaks out and wants to go outside and you take her outside and get stung by a bee.

No, actually it's more like when a crappy show comes on and you need to turn the channel but you can't find the remote and you're all like "fsck!" and you're like "man I'm returning this TV to Best Buy."

Now that I think about it it's really more like when you sit on the toilet seat and it's really cold and you get goosebumbs on your ass.

Dude no it's like when you're trying to brush something off the bottom of your shirt and you accidentally flick your testicles and it hurts really bad and nobody knows why you're in pain.

Wait wait it's when you're taking a piss and you shake it off when you're done and put it back in your pants but pee still seeps out and you have a wet spot for the next 2 hours.

I mean wouldn't you feel the same? It's like if you're walking through the mall and you're going through the foodcourt and the smell of the food gets you hungry so you demand that they give you free food because if it hadn't been for the smell you wouldn't have needed to eat.

ROFLMAO!!

I tried so hard to subdue my laughter but I couldn't so I had to run out of the office and laugh my ass off because the CFO's office is right next to mine.
