Protective Coating for the Nano?

I was wondering if anyone has tried putting some sort of protectant or sealant on their ipod to prevent the scratching.
I read an article about colorwarepc which paints ipods for a fee. After they paint it, they spray on a clear protective coating.
Has anyone tried this at home using something like an acrylic sealant made for cars, etc? It seems to be a natural extension of Brasso.

I too would like peoples opinions on the best armband. i am looking at getting the invisble sheild as well so I would like to know what case with armband fits over the invisible sheild. I am not interested in teh apple one as this one seems like the ipod will fall out if i were upside down (and yes, when i'm working out i just might be upside down

  • The ultimate protection for the nano !!!

    I have the ipod shuffle with the sports case . why does apple not design a sports case like the one they make for the shuffle ? it is very cool and a great protector that never has to be opened . i bouth the nano and returned it due to the scratches , luckily i purchased it at best buy so there was no restocking fee . so i ask again why apple , no sports case ?

    Yeah I know there expensive but there Apple products if you get the Nano Tubes and the lanyard you kind have a $70 sports case that doesnt protect the screen it looks like. Hey the shuffle is a different product the sports case worked for it but that protective of a case would be a little brutal for the nano and the touch wheel.

  • My ipod won't show up on my computer. I have another ipod touch, that works fine. What should I do? Do I need a different ipo usb cord for the nano?

    iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
    iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
    If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
    1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
    2. Right click on "My Computer"
    3. Select "Manage"
    4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
    +Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
    5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
    6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
    7. Close "Computer Management"
    8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
    9. Reconnect your iPod.

  • Games for the nano 6th generation

    Question for Apple:
    Are the any plans for additional updates. For example it would be good if there were a few basic apps/games for the nano considering the price associated with it.
    Please note I understand that there is limitation to what can be added due to the size, however I do believe that adding simple card games such as solitaire, hearts, black-jack would really enhance the product and increase customer satisfaction of the product.
    I brought this Ipod to replace my classic version with probably the same size screen(but not touch) and that came with games.

    Are you referring to the iPod Classic that you can currently buy? If yes, that screen is quite a bit larger but more importantly you use the click wheel as control for any games, such as solitaire, black jack, etc.
    With the current touch screen you would have to have awfully small hands and very good eyes to use the screen to control the game plus see what was happening at the same time. But it really doesn't matter as there is no Software Development Kit (SDK) available to developers for the Nano OS, so there is no possible way for them to develop games.
    If with all these limitations you would still pay for games on the Nano (not sure what the price has to do with it), you need to send your request to Apple, they are not here.

  • Games for the Nano?

    I cant find games that will work for the nano on itunes. what BS are they trying to pull with only games for the touch and iphone?

    I've read a lot of the posts on this forum, but I don't seem to see a real answer to this question. Most responses just seem to point to where the clickwheel games are listed. However, as some others have said on other posts, although the top of that page states that these games are compatible with 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation iPod nano (and a few other iPod models), if you look at the individual game descriptions, not a single one lists 5th generation nano. One (I forget which) only lists 3rd gen, and all the others list 3rd and 4th. So, it is not at all clear if any of these will work on the 5th generation nano. So just saying where the clickwheel games are doesn't really help.
    I don't have time to read every comment on every game (especially when most of them are like, "Hey Apple - we want free games!" or "Make Guitar Hero!"), so I am hoping that someone here will have some answers. I have managed to glean that the .99 games of Chinese Checkers and Reversi don't work on 5th generation because parts, but not all, of the images are reversed so things don't line up. I did find one post on this forum that said that Monopoly does work. Can anybody say from their own experience which games they have tried on 5th gen, and which ones worked or didn't work? If you have any opinions on the games themselves, that would be great, too - for example, when I was reading about Yahtzee, apparently the computer plays like a moron so it's not worth playing the computer on that one.
    I won a 5th gen nano at my office Christmas party, and am a complete novice at this, so any help is appreciated! I am really enjoying the games that came loaded on it, and would like to add some more, but I am not sure there are any on iTunes that actually work with this specific model.
    TIA!!!!!!

  • Do you recommend using a protective shield for the iPad2 screen

    Do you recommend using a protective shield for the iPad2 screen

    This is a very subjective issue. Do I recommend it? .... Not necessarily. Do I use one?..  Yes I do. I use the ZAGG InvisibleShield on the screen. I love it because not only does it protect the screen from scratches - it is very easy to clean. While I love the look of the unprotected iPad screen, I hated the fingerprints.

    If you need internet/want and apps you need a touch.
    The Nano is smaller, less expoensive and has a FM radio.

  • Automatically down-convert large files for the nano

    For the iPod shuffle, there was a feature that automatically converted big files/high quality mp3 files down to a managable 128kbps when you upload mp3s to the shuffle.
    Is there a feature like this for the nano? If no, anyone know if there will be? I'd like to conserve space/make the most of the space.

    "spammer.
    Does anyone have the correct answer???"
    Do you know what you are talking about? That is not spam...that is directly related to your question. iTunes automatically formats the music when you import it into your library. That discusses how to change the format if you want to change it. I can't believe you said that. I was try to explain to you that iTunes will do it when you import the tracks into your library.

    iTunes should automatically import your music as AAC 128Kbps...

  • What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s?

    What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s? If I drop my phone I don't want it to crack or break. How protective is the Gorrila Glass?

    I am using the Otterbox Defender, and it's a great case.
    Gorilla glass is a glass applied to phones (not the iPhone, it does not use Corning branded glass), but the iPhone screen is pretty good against scratches.

  • Anyone going to get the new iSkin for the nano?

    I'm getting it as soon as it is availble. It looks like it will protect the nano really well.
    http://www.iskin.com/store/I2BeNotified.tpl

    The iSkin duo for the iPod nano is a 360 Degree design that covers every part of the iPod nano, there is a little flap for the USB conector at the bottom, it even comes with a screen protector and grip they call "Side goosebumps", it will cost about the same price as the iPod iSkin for the iPod mini.

  • Praise for the nano

    I just got my nano in the mail today, and I wanted to do something you rarely see on online discussion forums: praise it without complaint. Most of the time people post because they have a problem they need to figure out, or something irritated them and they want to vent. That's cool, that's what forums are for, to get things fixed. But sometimes you like a product so much you are motivated to say Thanks to the manufacturer.
    I knew how small these things are supposed to be, and yet when I pulled it out of the box and held one for the first time in my hands I was still stunned. Every time I pick it up I am stunned anew. How on earth did Apple do this? Jonathan Ive, and the Apple design team, bravo!
    Is my nano going to get scratched? You bet. Both of my previous iPods got scratched. It's the nature of them. But after seeing all the moaning about nanos getting scratched, I took a look today at my 3G iPod and wondered just how bad it was. This is an iPod I have used with no protection, just sticking in my jeans pocket on a daily basis. Is it scratched? I had no idea, so I took a close look. Sure enough, lots of little scratches on both the screen and the back. Go figure. I hadn't really paid attention before, and I won't again in the future. You don't notice it unless you look at it. So will I stick my nano in my jeans pocket? Yup. Will it get scratched? Yup. Will I care? A little, but not that much.
    I love this nano. It works, exceeds my expectations in every way, and I just love it. Well done, Apple.

    I certainly don't minimze the fact that scratches will occur, and with any iPod. And if it bothers you, I don't belittle that fact either. Each person will react differently. But I remember when the first iPod came out and people had similar complaints early on. It was so shiny and new that any flaw stood out. Wow, how shiny that back was! But oh, what a fingerprint magnet... And so it goes, iPod after iPod. The complaints about the nano are nothing new.
    In fact, I think it's the early adopters who complain the most, perhaps because they are so into the technology they want to be first in line to buy these great devices. They love them! But that's why it bothers them when their beautiful gadget gets marred in any way.
    Do I like the fact that my nano is in perfect condition right now? Sure. Same feeling as when I get brand new sneakers. They are shiny white and new. And until that first scuff mark appears, it feels new. Then that first mark appears and it hurts. But then you move on to a new level of appreciation, start to forget the scuff mark, and pretty soon it's just another workday shoe that you enjoy but don't look that closely at.
    My 3G iPod is very scratched, but I stopped noticing. It was a tool, and it worked great, so I enjoyed it. I got to relax about it. Scratched? Fine, I'll stick it in my jeans and not worry about it any more. It's cool.
    So I'm not saying people are wrong to complain. I just wanted there to be a reminder that this really is an astounding product, and it was worth saying Thank You to Apple.
