Sometimes, being popular is not a good thing. For example, I
went to the local Apple store this past weekend to get the
new 1GB Nano. I knew I was in trouble when the doorway of the
store was nearly impassable due to the number of people
trying to get in and out.
After squeezing my way in, I saw two lines of people, each about 20 deep, at the cashiers. I don't know for sure what everyone was buying, but I could guess. So, I reluctantly went home and ordered everything online. By everything, I mean a black 1GB Nano, an additional dock, and an additional cable for the dock (no, the dock doesn't apparently come with it).
Since I've heard of problems with the nano getting scratched, I decided to go to the Martin Fields site and order the overlay screen protector . The thin membrane is designed to protect the nano's fragile display (Long time readers may remember that I got something similar for my Motorola Razr. The protector for the phone works so well that I thought I'd get one for the nano). In addition, I ordered their leather case to protect the rest of the nano. I don't know if this this the best case but it looked good enough.
Although the nano should arrive on Friday and the Martin Fields stuff probably early next week, I still wish I could have just purchased everything at the Apple store. More when everything arrives.
Aloha!

I wonder what all the scratch fuss is about.
It's a music player. Unless the scrach is an inch deep (figurative speaking) it won't affect the music. In our typical comercial and geek driven world it's never going to last longer than a couple of years.
So how bad are a few scratches.
