Scratch Coming to Nano Owners

"It's been a few years and a couple of different nano generations since the first lawsuits started flying, but it looks like those that found themselves with the scratch magnet known as the first-gen iPod nano may soon be able to get a bit of payback for their troubles, as Apple has reached a $22.5 million settlement following a class-action lawsuit."

I don't know about anyone else, but I always put a shield on anything I've ever bought from Apple. Granted, if the items were defective, and it appears they may have been since they are settling the lawsuit, they need to pay the damages. The one in this picture, however,  looks like someone did a burn out on it. Sure doesn't look like any kind of fix on the finish would have prevented this damage.
