A tip for new owners: Don't even bother trying to keep the back silver side pretty. I made sure nothing rough ever touched my iPod's back and when I handled it I would always shine it up afterwards and it still has scratches. It's impossbile. So just get a plastic 'jacket' or something. Not that any of this really matters. I guess I was just eccentric, I still take care of it but I don't allow myself to get upset over it anymore. And lose the earbud headphones and just use your normal ones. Earbud headphones are bad becuase the sound isn't shielded by the soft cushion of normal headphones at all and they do directly in your ear which is proabaly too close to your ear drums so music can be damaging.
