According to the pic, the sides of the front of the nano are slightly raised, if lying down on its front the screen & click wheel arn't touching the ground.
Seems slightly strange, wouldn't just applying some kind of scratch proof coating be easier?
And what about extisting ipod nano owners with scratched screens...do we get a replacement??
