You hit the nail right on the head. Allow me to repost part of a comment I made earlier on the subject over at Macsimum News:
"Apple's products are art. There is no problem here with function - just with use. This piece of shiny consumerware isn't particularly scratch resistant. You can say that Apple is a victim of its own artistic succes, becuase people, it seems, hate to have their beautiful iPods soiled. This is how the iPod accessory market was born! When I first saw the iPod years ago I didn't even want to touch it. It looked so delicate. Apple has never, since then, endeavored to make them any less precious. (That's a killer defense for them, by-the-way.) Any such glossy device as the iPod (and Moto V3, and PSP, ect.) WILL lose their shine. Apple hasn't tried to change that. Its literally a part of the iPod's appeal. I fear this is an overblown reaction."
