Ipod case & scratching - Brasso really does work !!!

I'm pretty new to this forum and have been reading quite a lot about the scratching of ipod screens. I've been looking for a decent leather case for ages and thought I had found the perfect one of Ebay. After a couple of weeks I removed the ipod from the case and found scratches where the stitching of the case was lying on my black ipod.
Whilst only minor cosmetic scratches probably wouldn't bother most users I was a little miffed and read up on the use of Brasso - I saw it on this forum and thought that it would never work!
Well I've tried it today and it really does work, take a lint free cloth, dip one corner in a tiny amount of brasso (you don't need a lot), buff over the scratches with a light circular motion and allow the 'polish' to fog up the case. Leave it for one two seconds and then polish off with the un-wet bit of the cloth.
My Ipod now looks brand new - I've also now put one of the Crystal film covers on the front (a little pricey at £9.95) but worth it (if stops more scratches).
So a big thank-you to whoever first suggested Brasso !!! (in the UK brasso costs around £2.50 in most supermarkets !!)

glad it worked for you cause it diddnt work for me it just made some more really good looking scratches sigh

  • The 10.5.2 update really does work!

    Hi all,
    First time poster here. I'm taking it upon myself to speak for the thousands of people who have upgraded to 10.5.2, had no problem, and therefore had little reason to post here. My upgrade was from the Combo updater, took less than 10 minutes after the download, and was uneventful. I had some nervous moments after the first re-boot because it took longer at several stages. I guess that was part of the continuing installation. I have since re-booted without those delays, and still no problem.
    I sympathize with all of you who have had problems, but I believe my experience is the one most people have.

    Worked perfectly for me, too. I really enjoy being able to turn some of my stacks into folders, and my transitions between Spaces are no longer jerky. I like it!

    Wow the customer service is even worse. Does Apple want me to go around jailbreaking my iPod now so I can use something that actually recognizes my product?

    he menu button of the ipod touch (4th generation) is not working and the service center of ipod is asking us to pay for the fixation of the said item even though it's still on warranty. this is the case number 215866894. And the service center said that they don't cover that center part of the ipod so they're asking us money before they can fix it. We bought the ipod last december 8, 2010 and we brought it to the service center last april, 2011 here in the philippines. And until now they're not fixing it because they're asking us to pay half the price of the item which is 8,040 pesos..

    As advised, you need to call Apple about this.

    No one here works for Apple (no one who will reply, anyway) so there's nothing anyone here can do to help you with this issue.
    Good luck.

  • IPhone 4s Flash Does Work With OtterBox Cases

    I found that the flash on the 4s would not work with many different cases. I can confirm that the flash does work OtterBox cases.

    Did I mark it as a question, if so I'm sorry. It was only info for anyone interested in cases for the new iPad.

  • Does Lion really not work with Microsoft Office?

    does Lion really not work with Microsoft Office?

    I am afraid I have reverted to Snow Leopard as I was having one problem after another with Lion and for every problem I was solving, two new ones cropped up. I won't bore you with a long list, but one example is whenever I clicked on a single saved document to view, Microsoft Word would open not only that particular document, but also half a dozen other ones as well. Also, my Canon printer did not operate properly nor would Aol. With a lot of other weird stuff happening every day, the final straw was when my Time Capsule wouldn't backup properly, but just 'hang' indefinitely.
    Luckily, I have two HD disks on my iMac and I had installed Lion on HD2 while still retaining Snow Leopard on HD1. I also made a Lion installation disk for future installation when all these software bugs have been sorted.
    I am back to normal service with Snow Leopard and shall not return to Lion until at least the next upgrade/patch becomes available. I so looked forward to Lion as well, but I was fighting a losing battle.
    I would suggest anyone who is in my position trying to stem the tidalwave of software problems with Lion, make an installation disk for Lion and go back to SL until the next upgrade.

    This thread - with a quote from an LR4 Beta thread - says that all 6 central Basic controls in PV2012 (Exposure thru Blacks) are now image-adaptive, as were Recovery, Fill Light, and Clarity in previous versions:

    Whether they are suitable for creating a Timelapse sequence without significant flicker is entirely subjective and up to you - and of course, dependant on your specific images & how they change over time.  Sorry, not much advice beyond try PV2012, and revert back to PV2010 if you get too much flicker.

  • Ipad takes photo every time I close the cover of its case. When I close the cover - it really does take a picture and saves a photo. Luckly, it make a click, and pictures are seen in the photo album, and it does not appear to be forwarding.

    When I close the cover - it really does take a picture and saves a photo. Luckly, it make a click, and pictures are seen in the photo album, and it does not appear to be forwarding. It is just gobbling memory and annoying as I can only delete these pictures one at a time.

    It seems to take a picture of the counter top = I do not see the keyboard.
    I am wondering ....It may be a kids game app that takes pictures of the screen or out the back camera. I am starting to think it may just be a sound effect when placing the iPad on its screen. So many things that may be unrelated but coincedental. It started in May (the sound) and so did the multiple pictures - starting to think they are not related.
    Thanks for the quick tip on deleting multiple pictures.

  • Anyone have an iPod case like this?

    I want to know, does anyone have an iPod case similar to the one linked to below?
    I'm looking for one for my 5th gen iTouch, and haven't been able to find one in America or on American Amazon (the one I found is on the UK Amazon).
    If you have one similar to this, or any other suggestions, please answer. I like the thin, tpu material, and prefferably the case will be clear.
    Thanks to everyone who answers!

    btw, dont say things like "google it for yourself" or "look on amazon".
    I have looked and not quite found the perfect one yet and I'm looking for anyone's suggestions!

    Will this work out for you???
    I hate to be too picky but I never have quite liked those hard plastic shells. Tpu is really more of what I am looking for (and for everyone else, I prefer Amazon to eBay, so if you know of one on Amazon, that would be better). Silicone is not an option either.
    It does look like a decent case at a fair price, and for trying going on what I described I marked your answer as helpful.

  • Looking for somewhere to sell Video Ipod cases for WOMEN

    HI ALL !
    DO YOU KNOW WHERE CAN I BUY IPOD CASE FOR WOMEN ..FOR ME .. BECAUSE ALL I SEE BLACK COLOR CASES FOR MAN .. THANK YOU

    I don't get the male/female distinction frankly. To me it's just a quetion of what your style is, what material you'd prefer and whether you are after a case or a skin and waht you're going to be doing with the iPod - working out, being outside in the rain and so on.
    I have just bought a Vaja (vajacases.com) - as a Christmas gift from my parents and I'm really happy to have done so. Don't have it yet, but I'm sure it wont disappoint and at 50 pounds UK for everything incl p & p I don't even think it is that xpensive. Check the site out and you'll see that you can choose from quite a large range of colours.
    They're not as cheap as some, but that's the way I went 'cos it fits my needs.
