It is under a one year warranty, but on the apple website it says that this will not be covered. However, I've been reading articles online say that apple agreed to fix cracked screens if it is still under warranty. I don't know which one is correct. What should I do?

In this case, iPhone users have posted problems to Apple support forum and elsewhere, including side-by-side comparisons (above) which show many screens identified by “LCD panel ID” number 7 (left in the picture) showing a discernable grid of dots, and being dimmer than those with a panel ID of 5. On the Apple forum, several messages spelled out how to determine the iPhone’s screen information. Tapping in *3001#12345#* (including the asterisks) on the phone keypad and hitting the Call button puts the device into Field Test Mode, which offers detailed information about the iPhone’s hardware, including the firmware version and “LCD panel ID” number. Panel IDs that start with a 7 are those being bashed by users; screens identified with a number that beings with a 5, on the other hand, are characterized as brighter and sharper because they don’t seem to have the grid pattern.

I purchased 3 ipods for Christmas 2004.. After 3-4 months 2 of them were broke - screens.. Since my kids were all at college I did not learn of this until Christmas 2005... This has been unbelieveable! There is not indication on the information sheets that these "jukeboxes" are so senisitive.. Each time I spoke to someone @Apple - they said that there is not an overabunance of cracked screens.. My kids on the other hand - they say all their friends ipods are breaking.. I couldn't even find out what Generation they were! We sent the 2 of them in for a diagnosis & the company refuses tp tell me what is exaclt wrong! This has become a full time job!

Seems to me if you shove it in your front pocket at all you are looking for trouble as eventually something has to crack if there is any flex at all. Since I don't own one where is the scratching coming from? How much flex do Nanos have?
