Apple Computer has started including a protective sleeve alongside its iPod Nano, which has won acclaim for its small size but criticism that its screen tends to scratch easily.
The case is similar in design to the sleeve that Apple includes with its fifth-generation, video-capable iPod.
"The case we ship with the new fifth-generation iPod has received great feedback from customers, and we are including a similar case with the iPod Nano," Apple said in a statement.
Almost since the Nano's introduction in September, there have been complaints that the music player scratches more easily than other iPods, though Apple has maintained that the Nano is made from the same polycarbonate material as other iPods.
Last month, a group of lawyers filed a class action suit over the issue on behalf of all Nano owners.

(3 Comments)were available. One of us takes it to the club whenever we
workout (thats about 6 times a week, between the two of us).
The Nano still looks perfectly new (I just checked it before I
wrote this). There are no scratches (that I can see) on the screen.
There are a couple of tiny scratches on the back, but you have to
really look closely at it and move it around in a strong light to
even see them.
I don't know what these people who are suing are complaining
about. I don't see any scratch problem with our Nano.
