hey,
last summer i saved up and bought a 5 g ipod with my job money =)
what i DIDNT buy was a case to protect it, and yep, the screen is all scratched up now and looks totally unsexy now  Sad

anyways, does anyone know a good way to get the scratches out through polishing or wax or SOMETHING? i've tried rubbing alcohol, even Windex  Grin

...but nothing seems to work, so thought i'd ask here

thanks

     Here's a polishing solution: http://www.mobilephoneboxes.com/repair_lcd_displex.htm

     Perhaps that'll do the trick for you. : )

I just got a ipod for christmas, i would recomend buying a case first off, then you should go to office depot or staples and buy a "PDA screen protector" they come in a pack of like 10. then trim the screen protector to fit the exposed part of the plastic over the screen then just stick it on.

Jeb I think that is a good idea, to get the screen protectors, its more economical and it come with more than 1 in a pack so it can last you a while.  Good Thinking!!!  However, I not a real iPod fan, cuz i'm not one of those who always listen to music, I dont understant ppl that do, i mean the only place I listen to music if ever is at a club or in my car, thats it!!!

How to remove scratches and polish your iPod

  iPodlounger, Sean M. sent us a tip:

  Earlier today I went to see a guy at a watch store and asked him his advice on how to remove scratches from plastic watch fronts.  He said I should try "Brasso" metal polish wadding. I was a little suprised but was willing to try it out anyway. Got home dabbed it on and HOLY COW, my iPods screen is now as smooth as a babys bum.

  A little advice though, the wadding in the Brasso can seemed to make its own scratches, so I suggest using kitchen roll (paper towels) or a soft cloth.  Dab it into the wadding and smooth the brown stuff in.

  Note: Brasso Metal Polish http://www.homedepot.com/prel80/HDUS/EN_US/diy_main/pg_diy.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0698428774.1018457791@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccgadcelhegkldcgelceffdfgidgjl.0 is available online at Home Depot. Also check your local hardware store.

You can find a ton of info over at http://www.ipodlounge.com
