I have a iSkin evo3 on my 20GB model but when I removed it to clean it out I noticed little rub marks/scratches on the face of my Pod. It seems as though the iSkin keeps the big scratches away but scuffs the pod itself, anyone else have this happening? Still, not to complain......... The mini has a Radtech skin on it and it is mint under there still - very nice. I may get some iPod polish for the 20GB.

Mine got scratched a little during the first 2 weeks I had it, then the Pod Shields arrived and it looks great, also it keeps it free from all the finger prints

My mini started making static a few weeks ago and I'm getting it replaced with the warranty. Other than that, it's fine. I just pray the second one I get won't make the static again- If it does, I'm getting a REGULAR ipod!

I've only had mine a week, so it's like brand new. The one day I didn't have a case for it, I wrapped it in a soft cloth. I didn't want to scratch it when I was loading songs. I felt like I was doing the egg/baby excercise in school.

My mini is so scrathced and kicked out although I barely even use it. It's way to fragile.
I use my Zen for about 3 months all the time it's with me and not a scratch.

the best way i found to keep scratches off is by using a clear Electrostatic sheet (its a clear rubbery sheet that holds on to your iPod by static), you may be able to get one from your local screenprinter's, cut it to size (NOT WHILE ON THE ACTUAL IpOD) and have fun!!!

My 2G 20Gig is pretty beat up. I just got a Photo 60G that is still pristine, and should stay that way in it's cozy evo2 iskin!
