Scratch on screen

There Is So Much Dishonesty On These Forums!!

 

As a continuation of what MrT8064 said, honesty is always your best policy. If you feel the screen wasn't scratch resistant enough then take it back and let them know what happened and how you feel like this sort of damage should not have happened. They may not agree with you, but if you take it in claiming poor battery life and they see a huge gouge in the screen they're going to know what you're up to. In they end you do what you think is best, but in general it's best to tell the truth and see what they can do for you.

 

the iPod touch screen isn't scratch resistant. It might be more resistant to scratches then the recent generation ipods but it's not completely scratch resistant. The only way that the screen would be scratch resistant would be if it was made out of diamond and we all know it's not!

a sane voice... finally

 

Don't forget it's simply glass. It's harder to scratch, but that doesn't make it scratch resistant.

Reminds me of my glasses. When I bought my glasses, I opted for scratch resistant glasses. A year passed, and my glasses are filled with tiny scratches. They don't distract from my viewing, however, and are pretty much invisible from most angles and in most lightning conditions.

I expect the same to be true for a touch after a few months of usage.

 

that is so unfair, i called them like 3 weeks ago and said the same thing (except i had never dropped mine, i dont know how they got there because ive never had it in my pocket with anything else) and i was told pretty much im out of luck and that they sell some sort of screen repair on the apple website that i was never able to find

 

Honesty is always the best policy. And I think Apple is one of the few companies that recognises this. Good luck with your repair/exchange.

 

scratch resistant glass is just very hard glass.

And hard glass is HARDER THAN METAL.

This is why razors and nails and keys will not scratch the ipod touch screen.

However.

SAND WILL SCRATCH THE GLASS BECAUSE IT IS AS HARD AS GLASS.

Same is true with glass shards, and diamonds and whatnot. (things that probably will not be a problem.)

But sand is EVERYWHERE. So, yeah. A floor very well may scratch your ipod touch where a razor blade will not.

So be more careful.

 

ok im sure this has been talked about, but
1. do people really watch movies on 2-4 inch screens? i see no purpose or inclination to do that.
2. does the touch even have enough battery life for that?

 

Strictly off topic, but still.
1.Yes, yes they do.

2. 5 hours battery life according to Apple

 

1. When you strap it to the back of the seat in front of you on a train/bus/car/etc, the iPod touch screen is more than adequate.

2. I've watched roughly 4 hours of video on a single charge and had enough juice left to listen to a little bit of music afterward.

 

I think you've got your 'scratch resistant' and 'scratch proof' mixed up here.

iPod's screen is definitely scratch resistant to a certain degree, like every other material really, even the diamonds that you claim to be 'scratch resistant' and I think by that you mean scratch proof, can be scratched, cut, broken and pulverized ... otherwise we wouldn't have any cut diamonds in the world today.

iPod's screen is fairly scratch resistant and will not scratch very easily.

 

I'm getting mine for all my plane rides. I travel extensively and hauling out my company laptop is a pain. I normally fly up front and that helps with a bit of extra room, but my 2G nano gets a real work out now. I can only imagine the touch getting an equal work out.
