Scratched your spanking new iPod and don’t have Brasso or Dremmel to fix your scratched iPod? Try using my favorite fruit banana instead of those expensive kits. Here’s a short video which will show you the process:

I don’t like the way bananas smell. Can I use other fruits or vegetables. I was thinking that pineapples or coconut as they are tropical fruits also. My friend used a piece of raw prime rib to cover scratches in his bumper - I guess this works on the same principle.

well you can try those but don’t shout at me if they make the case even worst.

didnt work on the back of my ipod touch.
January 5th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
Worked on my iphone perfectly
January 5th, 2008 at 11:38 pm
Very well that it worked in your iphone. Keep the comments coming.

I cant get it to work on my 2nd generation ipod nano. Please help me and tell me what is wrong.
January 6th, 2008 at 10:54 am
please see the video properly. Might be something you missed.
January 6th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
no it just didn’t work on the screen or the back
January 6th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Well your case seems odd. I’m really clueless at the moment anybody out there.

well i used the banana trick as instructed and placed it on my window ledge and a damn monkey came and stole it and ate it!! don’t do this if you live near a zoo!
lol only kidding i used this on my glossy laptop case before i sold it and like you described it came up like new!
thanks dude

Thanks for scaring the bee jesus out of me! Well its great to know even you were successful. Only if our commentator >Blade< is successful i’ll be pretty happy.
January 9th, 2008 at 6:53 am
It totally didnt work for me! Maybe the front was a little bit improved but it really didnt work! Maybe the banana wasnt good enough! :(
January 11th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
I wish i was successful too! There isn’t any other web site I can go to to find out my problem. So i just bought a new ipod.

I think the reason that it doesn’t work on the later generation ipods is because they changes the cover. If you have, say, a first and second generation ipod nano, you can see and feel the difference. So I don’t think the same principle applies.

I am so happy to have found this video, but I haven’t tried it yet. I have a few questions.
-How does it work? It doesn’t make sense to me.
-Will it smell like bananas afterwards?
-Do the results stay the same?

To Jake: Yeah I had a 2nd generation ipod nano and it didn’t work.
January 19th, 2008 at 9:53 am
wow that is so cool, ill have to try that if my i-pod ever gets scratched up, thxs dude.
January 20th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
wow that’s really awesome hah, i haven’t tried it but i know it works. hmm this should be on the news or something, it’s very helpful! thanks a lot man!
ooh by the way: you can also use a banana peel to clean fake leafs off of indoor plants and stuff. you know? when they get dusty and whatnot.

You guys know that a scratch is permanent damage, right? You can try to conceal some scratches (the shallower ones), but you won’t repair it. Deeper scratches will still be evident. Unless you paint over it or something. For something that’s meant to last a few years or more, there will be scratches. Oh yes.

i dont think that will work on scratches..
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:01 pm
cute guy! :)
neat trick too!
January 24th, 2008 at 12:24 am
The quality of the video hurt my eyes. I’ll look to try it though.
January 24th, 2008 at 1:15 am
Thats Youtube quality isn’t great like say hulu.
January 26th, 2008 at 7:19 am
wow- i just have to say, he’s really cute

Apple isn’t updating the 2nd gen iPods with the pro-banana casing fix. Sorry, you’ll need to buy a new iPod…or maybe use Chiquita instead.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Excellent - gonna try it tonight and if it works, you’re going on my blog!
February 5th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
@justni hope it works for you
March 15th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
I tried it too, it worked pretty well on the plastic side. I also tried it on some glasses, and those look slightly better now.
and I still think that guy is cute :D
