Thats what I mean. I guess its not really damaged, its just gouges from taking it in and out. I also notice that the connector in the back of the docking bay kind of flops around a bit more then when it was new. I also noticed that the sticker that says warranty void if seal is broken is sliced because of the constant removal and insertion of my player. It would not be good if I ever had something happen to it and couldn't get it fixed because that sticker was broken...
