So, using my iPod Touch quite happily, have been for like 4 months now and its been great... until I noticed 4 extremellllllllyyyyyy deep scratches on the screen.

How? I don't even know! :( I thought it was meant to be glass and unscratchable by anything but diamonds... which I have no need or want for and so don't own them.

I can tell it isn't liquid or food or something as when I run my nail over it to get it off my nail goes into the scratch? You know you just get that scratch feeling? LOL

Even my damn phone, with a plastic screen, has no scratches.

Is there anything that can be done?! :( My iPod is my baby! LMAO.

This'll teach you not to keep your bling in the same pocket as your touch

Get one of those leather covers they sell in john lewis

Get some Polyfilla! :D

Ok in all seriousness (lol), you might be able to get a sort of repair for it... like how you can repair cd's by using a polish which fills the scratches. I'd google some advice for ipod touch scratch repair. ;)

Take it back to the shop and tell them it's scratched when it's meant to be unscratchable!

Is there anything Apple could do for it? It's still in Warranty :P

They could probably mend the screen with some special gel.

I have these as well, it's really annoying. I also have 5 dead pixels which are just red. I use my iPod 5G cloth case for my iPod Touch, easy to access and works like a dream. I'm going to purchase an invisible shield before I get my iPhone though!

Because it's your fault, they would probably replace the glass screen for a cost.

"Un-scratchable"

it's scratched.

I don't think they have ever said "it's unscratchable" (correct me if I'm wrong), for this exact reason. Maybe they said its VERY HARD to.?

That's the reason I didn't get the touch, I know I'd scratch it. I'm happy with my 80gb lol. I've got loads of movies on it.

By the way, I don't think any company would call it unscratchable... that's just asking for someone to prove them wrong. There's always someone who will scratch it and try sue them.

Only a few scratches, dont worry

If you dont want to scratch it dont put in it your pocket with your stuff.

the wont repair any thats not under the maufacturers fault. like case is molded rubbish, the screen isnt touch sensitive, dead pixels or firmware malfunctions.

so, no. but you can get a liquid in a bottle where you spray and rub in with a small clothe, it fills the cracks, drys and looks like glass.

Send it back to Apple? But I know you have jailbreaked it so they wont be happy. I dont know, my back is quite badly scratched but not the front? I know it is unscratchable but with you saying it is deep, maybe its 4 cracks? Maybe you have dropped it and not realized it caused cracks. The iPod Touch screen is not uncrackable for sure.
