New nano question...

nope its made of glass

 

It is made of glass and very durable. I do not think it would withstand as much as the iPhone though.

I know you didn't ask this, but the screen res, sharpness, and colours are superb.

 

yes, and i recommend it

 

Are you sure it's glass? This review says it's still plastic.

I really hope they are wrong, though .

 

Yeah it's plastic. I watched a torture test of the nano and they scratched it very easily with a key.

 

It is plastic, like the mini, 2G nano and classic (all the aluminum iPods), but it is much more scratch resistant than any of the plastic fronted iPods. It will not scratch in your pocket unless you put keys or coins or anything else like that in there with it.

 

I don't know what it's made of, but my experience is that it is very durable.
