Q: iPod touch faceplate curling

iPod touch faceplate coming off, this is the second one. Does anyone else have this issue? I know I can superglue it, but it seems to be a ongoing problem.

    What model iPod?

    I really have only rarely see problems with the screen coming out except if the device was dropped or otherwise abused.

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    I'd contact the Apple Store to see if there are any fixes or remedies.

     

    Superglue can be messy, and it complicates any future repairs. I'd suggest a thin "screen" protector - a clear, flexible protector that wraps around the edge and back of the iPod Touch. This way, you increase the stability of the face plate nearly invisibly. These protectors are very cheap, so you can buy a few until you find the one that works best for you.

     

    I personally don't have this issue, and I don't know any one who has.

    Thanks for the replies. The odd thing is this is a adult owned touch that hasn`t even been off the shelf. I use it to play my music through my Bose speakers. The last one I tried super glue, that didn't turn out to well. That made me buy another one, just to have it happen again. I will contact the store since it seems to be uncommon. Thanks
