Screen Protection for the Apple iPod Touch
Apple’s latest iPod, the iPod Touch, or TouchPod (yes, I saw that somewhere) is slowly trickling out into the public with its impending official release date of September 28th. With this release comes another device from the Apple stable that relies on a 3.5” glass screen. Granted, it is supposed to have “medical grade” glass to help keep it from getting scratched and so on, but when it comes to glass, you really can’t ever be too safe.
So, you are probably first going to be looking for a solution to protect your iPod Touch’s screen, a screen protector if you will. There are already several companies – with more undoubtedly on the way - selling these, generally made from some sort of flexible transparent, scratch resistant material; they have either a weak adhesive or rely on static cling on one side to cover your iPod Touch’s screen.
You will want to be sure to only purchase screen protectors made specifically for the iPod Touch; this way they are sure to be precision cut to fit the iPod Touch (and its single button at the bottom) without cutting down on the picture quality or touchscreen responsiveness. There are some companies that just sell sheets of the transparent material and then let you cut it out; I would recommend avoiding those if at all possible. Not so much because they are inferior in functionality but since you have to cut them yourself, they might not blend in or may have jagged edges, any of a number of things that might detract from the beauty of your new iPod Touch.
Sure, you can just buy a case that covers the screen, but if you do that, you have to be able to open it in order to access all the features and in the process run the risk of scratching the screen or getting it dirty. So, even if you buy a case, the screen protector is one of those accessories you still won’t want to leave out.
