That's illegal!!!!!!!!Should have got a 2nd gen nano. Iv got one and have had absolutly no problem with it.
To give you an idea of how resistent it is to wear, lets describe mine: Im a active 16yo who attends a an engineering college most of the working week. I also wear mostly jeans and have actually used my ipod during a pb matches.
No damage or scratches on the screen, only sign of damage is the anno on the edges has worn off slightly since xmas when i got it
