His crystal ball is made of the same composite material as the iPod nano and it scratches entirely too easily! Even the crystals on Rolex, Patek, and Vacheron time pieces costing upwards of $100K can be easily scratched. Heck, even after just a couple of years wearing nothing but 100% cotton shirts, the average Rolex and Patek watches will show fine lines on the crystals and definitely on the gold; less so on platinum. But you can polish out these scratches, just as you can Brasso smooth your Nano. It's amazing the cottage industry of carrying cases that Apple has help sprung. People spending over $1000 on lizard skin iPod carrying pouches. Then they are afraid that these Lizard skins get scratch, so it remains inside something else. Heck, look at Jobs, see how he carrys his iPod. With every iteration of iPod sounding better than the last, isn't the idea to have the old replaced. An iPod is not exactly one's spouse. Use it, abuse it, then replace it. Paul
