So I'm way out of warranty, and the glass is starting to separate from the LCD. Dust is everywhere underneath the glass.

So the question is, call apple? Or order a new front panel?
 
Sell it on ebay as is and buy a 4G or wait till sept for the 5G. No sense in spending $100+ to fix a 2G iPod Touch.

Unless the OP wants to take a stab at it himself/herself, I think you can find a replacement digitizer for $15 bucks.
 
same thing is happening to my 3gs and my ipod touch 2g. It was a real OCD situation for me but i just got used to it. and get the 4th gen . it has the glass fused to the lcd so it can't separate.

If the glass is sticking out of the device, then it makes it much easier.
I opened up a 2nd gen and it was easier than I thought. Just look at ifixits guide.

I should probably mention that I did end up completely destroying it because I accidentally hit the screw driver against the LCD which completely ruined it, but it was already a goner from water damage. Had it been working in the first place, I would have been more careful.

So yeah, it's easy. Just be careful.
 
I loved the iPod Touch 2G. The 2G touch is quite thin and would plan able-bodied as a baby waist- or arm-banded device for workouts and not accepting to accept a tiny little dongle hanging off the end is excellent. Also, The iPod Touch 2G are incompatible with Apple's HiFi speaker,
