Is it me or does the iPod mini feel more durable/rugged than the regular iPod?

I was all ready to buy a new iPod the other day, but it feels more fragile/delicate than the mini.

Or am I just crazy?

Indeed, not a scratch on my mini (a marked improvement over my 5 gigger).

the aluminum is more scratch resistant

that's why I wanted to get a mini, felt more tossable-into-the-bagable-without-denting-or-scratching-the-damn-shiny-metal-on-the-back than the regular iPod. the regular iPod carries more stuff, however

Green like mine

(I haven't bothered buying a case, but I keep it in a sock when traveling around in the car to stop it colliding with other objects)
