Do you keep your iPod in a case?

[TomBob]

I have recently bought myself an iPod touch. When I bought it I kept it in a sock until I bought a silicone case for it. However a) the case annoys me and b) the back has a number of scuff marks even though it was it the case.

I don't know whether to bother getting a new or just leave it. Does anybody else bother with a case? If so what one?

Thanks

metal back like ipod original?

[TomBob]

Yeahh, all the iPod's I've had, 5th generation, 3g nano and 3g touch have the metal back. Stupid as it gets scratched by simply being in a case. Given up with my 3g nano and don't bother with a case for it anymore.

Autosol metal polish on it... Did mine the other day and its like a mirror now

Did it get rid of the scratches? Do you keep yours in a case? And what iPod have you got?

[Davo106]

Ipod Classic... Been in my glovebox for the last year or so... so you can probably imagine the state on it... Gets rid of some of the big scratchess will probably get rid of them off if you spend enough time on it... got rid of all the light scratches though.

My nano's back is full of scratches, gave up with the case after a year. Makes the ipod so much bigger and looks no where near as nice.

mines got scratches and dents etc, think it gives it carecter (sp)

Best way is to use a kitchen sponge to give a brushed steel effect like this guide shows

just click next and it takes you through it, it wont get rid of the wrting on the metal as its etched quite deep, i do it to mine and looks great, as for the front just buy a screen protector

buy a invisa-shield for it, covers it all up in a clear coating thats scratch proof so no need for a case but keeps it mint..
