I was watching MSNBC when I decided to move down a channel (CNBC) and saw this going on...I was like whoa....they should have put some really strong guy in there to do the job because all it proved was that it's definately tougher than what expected. Thank you Cramer...for assuring me that my Zune won't scratch like your iPod.

I love that guy! I never watch his whole show but as I'm channel surfing if I see him on, I'll pause to watch him for a little while.

And I really like how tough the Zune is. When we bought the iPod video one of the first accessories we bought for it was a hard crystal case, because it just feels so fragile. I haven't bought any accessories for my Zune yet. I may eventually by something for it just to be safe, but it's not an immediate requirement.
