I think he sucks too but Im not going to knock ya for it.. Listen to whoever ya want :)

Anyway - back to your topic:

I have the black Ipod and at the top of it is a little switch to lock it so it doesnt turn on or off when you dont want it to. As far as the scratching goes - I honestly think its going to happen one time or another - I keep mine in the little case that came with it and it seems to help. I also seen on the apple site there are 'rugged' protectors and they seem to be a good idea since Im hard on things - especially electronics.
