iPod What would you do if your iPod touch was dented?

I tend to baby my devices until the first scratch. After that scratch, I don't care about it anymore and toss it around... Still waiting for the day my Macbook gets a scratch so I don't have to baby it. I don't have the guts to scratch it on purpose either. Thinking about downgrading from a speck hardshell to a ghostshield film or something.

The only thing that I would repair is if the screen got a scratch. I can't stand a scratched screen... which is why I use screen protectors. Body scratches don't bother me once I get them. If you're bothered by them, you should get it repaired.

I automatically buy a cover, not too bulky and a screen cover. The screen cover because since the back is scratched, it will only be matter of time for the screen to get some damage too

Donate it for charity and then buy myself a new and updated model (if available).

That way everybody wins

That's what I just did today: for my new iPod Touch 5Gen I got a nice cover and screen protector (against fingerprints). Now it's ready to get placed in pockets and on the desk without being too scared.

The additional thickness don't disturb me; without cover its actually feels fragile.

This just happened to my 5th gen after I put it in my bag . Once I can afford it, I'm replacing the top bezel, the lock switch, the screen, and clickwheel . I'm still going to use it, of course .

EDIT: Oops, it said iPod Touch...

keep using it until it BREAKS

Probably sell it and buy another. You should add that to your poll. The denting is one of the reasons I prefer the stainless steel back of the 4th generation (I can deal with the hairline scratches on the steel).

I'd have put it in a case when I bought it in the first place

I haven't looked at iFixit to see whether or not it would be an easy repair, but if it would be, I would consider replacing the back cover. I would also try to be more careful with it and wait for the day when I could buy a new one. Definitely wouldn't pay $210 for a cosmetic repair.

... And at the back, there's a dent too, a huge one, as if there's a small meteor that landed on it.

LOL, that's funny.

Like J&JPolangin, I put a clear case on the back as soon as I got it.

I'd probably keep using it anyway.
