Nano Tubes - screen protector?

Does anyone happen to know if the Nano tubes will contain a screen protector? I can't tell based on the pictures that Apple has posted.

I dont think it does, here's why. . .
This is Apple's description of the tube:
Feeling a little blue today? Maybe your mood leans on the pink side. Either way, iPod nano Tubes have you covered. Constructed from smooth, treated silicone that resists dirt and stains, they come in a set of five colors: purple, pink, blue, green and clear.
Just slip iPod nano in from the bottom or through the screen window to add a splash of flavor and deliver instant protection from scratches and bumps. You can still access the Click Wheel and hold switch, and you can even create a flashy fashion statement by wearing it around your neck with the iPod nano Lanyard Headphones.
The fact that you can slip the nano through the screen window makes me think that, no, there's no screen. I would've bought them, ugly colors and all, if it had a screen. For now I left the sticky cover that came w/the nano on and put the pod in my sock, seems to be working ok until something better comes along.

Apple nano tube + zcover screen protector

I just received my nano tube in the mail (purchased from a guy who was selling his extras), and I have to say that I like it better than the zcover case. The click wheel area is thinner and allows manipulation by touch (very useful for me in the car not to have to determine where the clickwheel is), and doesn't seem to be as lint-attracting as the zcover case (mine was grey; others have said that the lighter colors don't attract as much lint).
What worked nicely, though, was taking the plastic screen protector that zcover provided and using it with the apple nano tube. It fits very nicely, and solves the screen protection problem!

I took mine off after I opened and got it going. It probably would have been a better idea to keep it on, but, like you, not a scratch on my nano!

Nano Tubes will Protect Screen

So do the Nano tubes come with screen protectors on them or are the just a rubber covering around the system and not the screen?

The nano tubes do not protect the screen.

Ipod Nano screen protector

Hello. I have a black nano being shipped to me and I am worried about scratches on the nano/ screen. I am wondering if you guys can help. I like the idea of a "static" screen protector of some sorts because I don't want to package up the slim nano in a bulky case. Are these screen protectors sticky? How do they adhere to the nano? If they're removed do they leave a tackiness on the nano? Or does anyone know where I can find slim and attractive cases for the nano?? Any help will be appreciated. thanks

I also have a black Nano and was worried about the finish, I checked around the web and found a form-fitting MAGNESIUM case... the same stuff they make professional camera bodies out of! It hardly adds any bulk and looks **** cool, comes in black or white, just like the Nano!
You just slide your Pod into it from the bottom and there're two rubberised "grips" on either side that hold it in place... it's a tight fit and your Pod won't be going anywhere!
It also has a built-in hard screen protector and cut-outs so you can access all the controls, including the dock connector while it's IN the case.
There're THREE kinds of attachments with this case... a lanyard, pocket clip, and a standard belt clip & post. They've pretty well thought of everything!
Pacific Rim Technologies make the case...

White Nano might be alright with just a screen protector...

I have already gone through one nano, 2gb and will be returnign it shortly because it scratches so easy, but i also just ordered 2 packs of screen protectors from decal girl. Now the nano comes with a crappy screen protector already, and if u put it on it, u can see that it doesnt scratch the screen or anything. also if ur nano is white, you cant see any scratches on the back or front, other than the screen. So i think for those of u who have white nanos, go to decal girl, pay 3.50 for a pack of screen protectors, and ull be ok...

no man im from canada, anyways did you return your white ipod because of scratches on the screen only?

Screen protectors and nano

I have some Palm screen protectors I'm thinking of cutting down and putting on the entire front and back of my iPod nano, at least until cases are available.
Anyone know of any problems with putting a screen protector (meant for glass or hard plastic) on the metal back or plastic front of the nano? Will it come off without residue, as it does on a screen?
And will the track wheel work with a protector covering it?

Don't use the ones made by Palm!!! I used them on my iPod photo, left it on for a few days, decided to take it off and try something else, and it left behind a horrible sticky residue that I had to rub away with alcohol and ended up scratching the crap out of the plastic.
Screen protectors made by Belkin are bad (they're not transparent enough) but don't have the problem, and ones made by Fellows are ok.
However, I would definitely recommend Sony PSP protectors made by Pelican, available from Fry's, Best Buy, Target, and other stores. They are absolutely transparent so the you can see the screen clearly and never know there was something over it. It clings using static, so it's easy to remove. If you mess up putting it on the first time, you can peel it off and try it again since there's no adhesive. If you get dust on it while trying to put it on, just rinse it off with water, and it'll still cling to any plastic surface. It's the best screen protector I have ever come across.

Taking off the screen protector

I just got some new tubes for my nano for xmas, and as you know they don't come with a screen protector. I managed to find one that came with my old case (ironically, that one didn't even need a screen protector. Go figure) So, I put it on my nano, and guess what. I did it wrong. It has air bubbles & you can see a finger print that's on the other sticky side. So, I tried to get it off to fix it, but it's not coming off!! I don't want to start clawing at it for fear of more scratches. Is there a trick to removing screen protectors?
Also, once it's removed I probably won't be able to reuse it, so does anyone know where I can get a screen protector by itself? I tried doing a search for them, but the only types of things I've seen are the full body wraps, and that's not what I want.
Thanks!

Sadly, I have yet to use oen for the nano. I've used them on other products such as my Nintendo DS, my sony PSP, and my smart phone.
I hear www.theinvisibleshield.com is a good source, but they may be very aggrivating to apply.
If they are like any other static screen protector, they WILL be very frustrating to apply
Good luck!

Review - Exim screen protector

Having read the reviews of the screen scratching issue, when my new nano arrived in the post, I ordered an exim screen protector from ebay ($16.00 AUD - do a search for exim). And being a happy nano owner, I thought I'd post a review.
The protector consists of 3 clear vinyl sheets, cut to fit the front, back and scroll wheel of the nano, so essentially the whole thing is covered. The vinyl sheets are a bit stiffer/harder/inflexible than what I expected, they're much like a very thin hard plastic sheet.
Application was a little bit fiddley, but overall fairly easy, provided you make sure no dust gets in contact with the adhesive side of the screen protector. I got 1 small bubble on the back, from a dust speck, but I removed and reapplied the back to remove the bit of dust.
Overall, you can't tell there is a screen protector on your nano. It looks and feels just like there is nothing there. The scroll wheel is just as responsive, and the screen is very clear and bright. The adhesive is also fairly strong, so there's no chance of the protector slipping off. The protector also appears to be made of a very hard material, so there's no chance of scratching.
I highly recommend this product to anyone who doesn't want to hide their nano behind a case. This thing looks great and will do the job.
THe only drawback is that it is fiddly to apply, but once its on, everythings fine. Another drawback is that it picks up fingerprints just as easily as the original nano surface. Also, 16 bucks for a bit of plastic is a bit much. But hey it works, right?
Hope this helps guys.

Hi,
You. I am using them and they are good as far as I can see. The application is a bit tricky. Make sure you get all the dust off the iPod first. If you do get dust under the film just wrap a piece of regular scotch tape around your finger and lift the film up. Remove the dust with the tape and you are good to go.
I put mine into a nano tube after the Exim film and it's nice and scratch free.
This film is not the same as any PDA film I have used. The sides are not covered.

Recieved "Real" Nano Tubes

Other than being shipped ridiculously later than the nano release, the nano tubes are wonderful. I know of many instances when a buyer unnexpectantly pays for a "decoy" nano tube.
I have received all five nano tubes. They come in a black box with a plastic square than slides over the box to keep the tubes in place. The individual tube has a VERY faint apple logo and thinner material where the click wheel is situated, but it is covered. The tubes also have an indentation where the hold button is, and an opening at the bottom for the earphones and a wire connection to the computer, but the nano does not fit in the dock with the tubes on.
I was pleseantly surprised about how thin the material really is, and its do soft that I just want to hold my nano all day, really! they have unfortunately picked up SOME lint, not a whole bunch, but enough to scratch the nano if you slide it in and out of the tubes a lot.
A lot of posts have already stated this, but the 5 set of tubes do not come with a screen protector. It is also a very tight fit, took me a while to even fit it throught screen. I beg you to be very careful when squeezing your nano into a tube. It takes a considerable amount of force to squish it in there. Keep your fingers on the sides when applying pressure, don't place your fingers on the screen or body for fear of more unwanted scratches or cracks.
Pictures coming as soon as I recieve my screen protectors from cleartouch crystal. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BT4BPK/002-0005720-9180873?v=glance&n=17228 2&n=507846&s=electronics&v=glance

Good review, Jenna. I've had the Tubes for a few weeks now, but have kept the clear one on since I got it. Its amazing how snug it is. And it does make it easy to hold.
I DO recommend a screen cover also. Its the only part uncovered that could scratch, and my screen has a scratch.
I didn't seem to have as much trouble putting my nano in the Tube, but I suppose with the material I expected it to be a fairly tight squeeze. DO use the sides to put the nano up through the bottom.
The nano DOES look cooler without the protection, but its become a standard recommendation to use something to protect the nano.
The wheel is still easy to use. I would recommend the Tube to anyone, but get something to cover the screen.
Glad you finally got yours!

IPod nano Tubes, in stock Tuesday.

Ive noticed all the craziness about the lack of nano Tubes.
Good news for you in the UK (or the rest of the world, but face a shipping cost).
The nano Tubes are expected in stock on October 4th from http://www.essentialipod.co.uk/product.php?xProd=1869&xSec=35>Essential iPod
Of course i will post a review if i get them next week, but if they are delayed any longer i will most likely get the zCover for iPod nano.

They dont appear to be Official Apple nano Tubes. The company looks to have used the same screen shown on nano pictures on their tubes.
Still, even though they are ''not real'' Apple nano Tubes, they look great and if they do the job then there is no need to compalin.
Emma, what did the box look like that they came in. If it looked to be an Apple branded box, they may be counterfit and not just a similar design.

Universal Screen Protectors...

Just an FYI. While I am with everyone still waiting for accessories, I put universal screen protectors on my nano, back and front. The semi sticky applicant didn't leave any residue, but took some of the color out of the apple logo and FCC logos on the back. Just beware.

"If you ask me it is like dressing up a dying man in a
vareity of Mackintoshes-excuse the pun- I mean the the Irish jackets-thats what it amts to when you put a sheath on a Nano!"
hmmm wierd - I've come accross a few of your posts, they are all abit strange...

Screen protector... need to buy one today, input?

Howdy. I bought a case mate case for the phone and love it. It came with a screen protector which works great until my nephew somehow managed to peel it back. now I have bubbles and fingerprints so I want to get a new one. Im traveling tomorrow for almost 3 weeks, so buying one online isnt an option.
If I go into an AT&T store, do they sell them there, and if yes, anyone point me in the right direction to the proper one to get?
Thanks

I have a case mate leather thing - but didn't like hiding the phone in it.
So I got a 'best skins ever' product (bestskinsever.com) - cheaper than and supposedly the same thing as 'Power Support's' product. Never used it before and had a power support film for my nano. This skin fits front-back-sides and only leaves a small portion of the corners uncovered.
Took a while to put on - but they give detailed instructions. And it looks nice (can see it if held at a certain angle).
The screen works fine with the skin on.

A question about a screen protector

So one of the screen protectors for the Ipod Nano says, "Smooth, non-sticky surface with patented layer of UV protection to prevent "yellowing"" What does it mean by yellowing? Is the ipod screen kept from yellowing, or the screen protector itself?

How do you put PDA screen protectors to cover your ipod nan?

Like how do i apply the pda protector? I havnt gotten the ipod nano yet im just thinking of how i could apply the screen protector.
Is the film sticky? what keeps it on?
if anyone could give me step by step instructions thatll be great.
Thanks:)

It is a static connection ... all that you need to do is cut the film to the size of the nano and then very carefully place it on the nano. The instructions for the protectors work with then nano. There should be enough space on a single protector for both sides of the nano, but be careful to avoid the area on the protector where there is any printing.
You must be careful applying the protectors to avoid getting bubbles in it... it may take several attempts. If you cut the protector accurately then it ought to be possible to align the edge (I'd do the long edge) of the protector with the nano and then very carefully glide the protector over the nano and lightly press it down.
I applied a protector to my nano before doing anything else and have avoided any scratches.
