- jacksyi, on 01/24/2009, -3/+58This issue has haunted me everyday for the past three years. Finally I'll be able to move on with my life.
- nzhamstar, on 01/24/2009, -3/+35You know, I thought if you bought a product, and it was *****, you took it back and bought a different product.
Or if you bought delicate electronics, you took care of them. Why didn't these dickfaces buy cases for them?
Anyone sued toyota or GM cos they're brand new car got a scratch on it. Or their head gasket blew?
Anyone sue microsoft when they got a virus?
Anyone sue digg cos they clicked a NSFW link at work and got fired? - astrixx, on 01/24/2009, -2/+29Scratches?? What about us poor souls who bought the iRack? It's shaky and catches on fire!
- marksands07, on 01/24/2009, -5/+23Why only 1st gen iPod nanos? My 3rd gen iPod is waaay more scratched than that photo..
- blackjack75, on 01/24/2009, -3/+17Hm, did the box say "unscratchable" or something? BTW, I have a first gen nano. I doesn't have that many scratches and I am not particularly caring.
- aladrin, on 01/24/2009, -0/+12Stop putting things in the iRack!

- BenBenMan, on 01/24/2009, -0/+9Too bad there is no exit strategy...
- Biscuitz, on 01/24/2009, -2/+11Whiny spoiled brats with iPods? Why I never...
- Ardiente, on 01/23/2009, -7/+15I kinda thought that people already knew that there are imperfect products in this world. So yeah ***** Apple for making their world crash down on them! People are crazy. Seriously, what effect can this possibly have on their lives and why do they deserve compensation?
- ZombieSociety, on 01/24/2009, -1/+8Or, take care of your *****. Enjoy your $3, settlement winners.
- Geist89, on 01/24/2009, -1/+8I'm probably just OCD about keeping my electronics looking spotless and brand new, which is why I always cringe when I look at the backside of my ipod with the scratched metal :-P
Nothing to really sue over, though... - robanders8, on 01/24/2009, -1/+825 dollars?! This seems like a victory for lawyers and not ipod owners.
- WinZiggy, on 01/24/2009, -2/+9Somebody call a WHAAAAMBULANCE
- deadfire55, on 01/24/2009, -1/+7wut about my iPod touch? It's got TONS of scratches.
I'm calling my lawyer! - godofallcows, on 01/24/2009, -1/+7The illegal music blew it up.
- phoomp, on 01/24/2009, -1/+7I think he's talking 3rd Gen iPod. Not 3rd Gen iPod Nano.
- wakeboardertj, on 01/24/2009, -3/+8what ever happened to self responsibility? This is beyond absurd
- dn11, on 01/24/2009, -2/+7i suggest they compensate the plaintiffs with these:
http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=1 ... - Gehko, on 01/24/2009, -1/+6apparently "normal usage" includes givin' 'er with a dremel.
- dandonia, on 01/24/2009, -1/+6By comparison, I have a mate who worked for a company that gave him extreme dirmititis and he has had it for 4 years, it flairs up all the time, prevents him from applying for certain jobs and simple tasks like bathing can lead to pain/annoyingly itchy hands for days on end - he got 2k.
scratched ipod nanos - 22.5 million, the world is a ***** up place. - jayll, on 01/24/2009, -0/+4$25 is pretty good for not doing anything.
- wautrey, on 01/24/2009, -2/+6*****. I have a perfectly fine 1g nano. If you're a ***** idiot who carries the damnable thing around with other metallic objects like COINS and KEYS then you DESERVE to end up with a scratched screen.
I mean *****...it's not like Apple went about touting how indestructable they are. - yensed, on 01/24/2009, -2/+6How? The first gen has an entirely plastic face. The 3rd Gen had an Aluminum face with a glass screen...
- pleaseremove, on 01/24/2009, -2/+5Yey for the free bank...
- offrdbandit, on 01/24/2009, -0/+3I guess if I bought overpriced Apple hardware just to look cool, I'd be pretty pissed off if it got scratched up too.
I'd hate to look poor. I mean, a scratched iPod might be old, or worse might be second hand... I couldn't show my face at Starbucks with a scratched iPod out of sheer embarrassment. - ronk, on 01/24/2009, -0/+3Yet another pay day for yet another lawyer...
- MercenaryMuffin, on 01/24/2009, -3/+5http://consumerist.com/5038095/ipod-nano-explodes- ...
- kreatre2007, on 01/24/2009, -4/+6They do provide quality products. However, they are not indestructible and it's up to the consumer to protect their investment. This would be like me suing Apple because my MacBook Pro got dented when I bumped it up against something. That hasn't happened to me because I bought a laptop case that is very well padded. The problem here is that no one wants to take responsibility for their own problems. They insist on blaming other people for them. These people are a bunch of cry babies.
- anshuman, on 01/24/2009, -2/+4:( they will recover this money by suing palm for pre :(, there is no god, nothing :(
- Pasaris, on 01/24/2009, -1/+3Is there a class action suit for exploding macbook-pro batteries? If there is, let me know.
- HeavyWave, on 01/24/2009, -3/+5Actually car manufactures should be sued for such easily destroyed parts (which are made so on purpose).
- adventflux, on 01/25/2009, -1/+3Wrong, this is the iRack as we intended.
- Myztry, on 01/24/2009, -2/+4Stop playing in sand pits...
- savingaurora, on 01/24/2009, -0/+2if you buy the item and its made of shiny plastic... we can use our heads right?
- pwdrskier, on 01/24/2009, -1/+3man people can stop whining about stuff. ooh it scratched. does it work? thats right it works so stop with your vanity.
- inactive, on 01/25/2009, -0/+2And if that was the real issue they should have gotten the defective part replaced, end of issue. Instead they decided to sue for "damages" so everyone gets $25, woo biiiiiig woop. Can you replace the screen for $25? Good luck with that.
- pyrates, on 01/24/2009, -1/+3You people need to RTFA. And stop being apologists for Apple. A choice quote:
In a complaint filed the the following month, owners claimed the device "scratch[ed] excessively during normal usage, rendering the screen ... unreadable." Nano owner Jason Tomczak said even the act of rubbing a paper towel on the face of the nano left "significant scratches."
Did ya read that now? It wasn't about the scratches on the black plastic part, but on the screen itself. If the screen scratches so damn easily that it makes it unreadable, then you can't actually use it anymore. That's the point the class action law suit was trying to make. And I'm glad they got something out of it. - Macintoshreader, on 01/24/2009, -0/+2The 3G has a plastic screen, actually. The only one that has a glass screen is the new 4G.
The problem with the 3G scratching so much is because of the stainless steel back. - superherogirl, on 01/24/2009, -1/+3what a nice surprise. although the scratches never bothered me, considering it has nothing to do with the overall sound quality, I am always a fan of free money.
- HonestAbeinator, on 01/24/2009, -1/+3Hey, I had one of those. I found it very annoying when I bought a $200 dollar mp3 player, and after 2 days of being in my pocket it was ridiculously scratched to the point where the screen was blurry. Its one thing when your stuff gets worn after a lot of use but this was excessive. Also, I think its stupid that I should have to buy a case. What is the point of buying the smallest, sexiest mp3 player if you have to but an expensive, bulky case for it? Anyway I returned it for a full refund although it took 30 minutes of negotiating on the phone.
- GeneralFailure0, on 01/24/2009, -0/+2This is a little ridiculous, but on the topic of iPod wear and tear, can we please just get rid of the shiny chrome backing? It looks great for about 5 seconds and then you touch it and it's awful. If they would just use the same aluminum casing on the back like they did with the new nanos and the old minis on all models, they'd stay looking nice much longer.
- elipabst, on 01/24/2009, -0/+1Actually they do lose functionality. The screen becomes so scratched that you can't read the display. Imagine if you wiped your TV with a paper towel and it scratched it so badly that you couldn't see what was playing on the screen. I'm pretty sure you'd consider that a defect. And that is exactly what happens to that version of the iPod, even wiping it with a paper towel or cotton cloth is enough to scuff it. We're not talking about standard wear and tear, this is significant scratching even with light handling to the point that it is unusable. That is a defect.
- vism, on 02/13/2009, -0/+1instead you get a yellow tint
- jayll, on 01/24/2009, -0/+1Me too, I guess I have the coated version.
- inactive, on 01/25/2009, -0/+1This is why you always buy a case for your shiny new iPod toy. People are idiots. If the part really does scratch with absurd ease then they should have demanded a recall, not damages. Waste of ***** time and money.
- zdwade, on 01/25/2009, -0/+1should of gotten a zagg invisible shield wouldve never had ne scratches.
- LOLMadness, on 01/27/2009, -0/+1I want you to take your focus off of the iRack and focus on apples new product, iRan!
