I was going to buy one for my wife anyway. Thank you Apple for good products you make.

I got an iSkin cover when I bought my iPod Photo, since I understood it would scratch---it's made of PLASTIC.

This is a smart move on Apple's part, but frankly, there's no merit to this class action suit.

Class action lawsuits only benefit teams of lawyers who draw them up, extorting huge settlements from corporations. They are not interested in achieving "justice", they are interested in big money. The lawyers walk away with a couple of million in the settlement and "consumers" who are stupid enough to join in on the lawsuit are eventually given a coupon worth $5.00 for free downloadable music from iTunes.

What bull.

This leads to a little sticker on every box of iPods that reads, "Your iPod can become scuffed or scratched during normal use. Please buy a protective sleeve or cover to ensure your iPod's pristine beauty. Don't steal music. Only you can prevent forest fires. Wear seatbelt at all times. Smoking causes cancer."

You people haven't heard? Apple's already settled the class-action lawsuit!

As part of the settlement Apple's sending a "Whip It" kit through the mail which includes; aforementioned slip cover, small can of Brasso, a micro-cloth, and one free iTunes download. The free song is compensation for your time involved in cleaning the Nano's screen. Unfortunately, this free iTunes download is for one specific title, fortunately the lyrics of this song are also the instructions for said cleaning, and it goes something like this,

crack that whip
give the past the slip
step on a crack
break your momma's back
when a problem comes along
you must whip it
before the cream sits out too long
you must whip it
when something's going wrong
you must whip it

now whip it
into shape
shape it up
get straight
go forward
move ahead
try to detect it
it's not too late
to whip it
whip it good

when a good time turns around
you must whip it
you will never live it down
unless you whip it
no one gets away
until they whip it

i say whip it
whip it good
i say whip it
whip it good

crack that whip
give the past the slip
step on a crack
break your momma's back
when a problem comes along
you must whip it
before the cream sits out too long
you must whip it
when something's going wrong
you must whip it

now whip it
into shape
shape it up
get straight
go forward
move ahead
try to detect it
it's not too late
to whip it
into shape
shape it up
get straight
go forward
move ahead
try to detect it
it's not too late
to whip it
whip it good

PS - I received the kit yesterday, unfortunately the slip cover is defective, the stitching has already come unraveled! I've already talked with the firm that filed the existing class-action, their going to file a second suit on Monday for the defective slip covers! I've also settled into a deep depression, I don't know what I'll do, maybe I'll take my own life, the Mississippi River bridge is a short drive away.
