It's been awhile since I've been at ilounge so I'm a little out of "touch" with the latest buzz. I returned an iPod Touch last year because of the negative black screen problem plaguing it. Has apple fixed it with the 32GB? Does the screen quality equal the iPhone?
EDIT: And, do iPod Touches seem resilient enough to use without a case?
thanks in advance

Shameless bump
I would use a case just to keep it nice but it isn't really fully necessary

I disagree with that. Just search the forums and you'll find plenty of instances of people saying "I believed the hype - now my iPod Touch is all scratched up!" Is it stronger than plastic? Of course. Can it still be scratched up with just a little grit in your pocket? Yup. Pickup an Invisible Shield. Be safe rather than sorry.
As for the negative screen issue, I haven't seen a post complaining about it, so I guess not.

The screens in all iPods are fine now, you don't really risk getting a negative at all anymore.
I use a Griffin Elan enclosure, which is hard shelled, and I do have screen protector. I am very worried about keeping my good old touch in top nick!

Thanks all for the input, I think I'm gonna buckle and get one with a case, 32GB is much more usable then 16GB.

yeah I have 32 gb iPod touch and there's no negative screen or whatever you called it. The screen is very excellent to look at!!!

im glad to hear this. after dealing with bad screens on both the iPhone and iPod, i returned my last iPod Touch in december. I figured i'd wait it out, hoping that they would fix the issue. I just ordered a new one and am hoping everything is well.
