I had this new G4 12" for almost a month and the handpad is already showing some wears. Meaning, where our palm touches when we type, it is not white (clean) as it use to be but showing some blackness. Even the touchpad is not white anymore.


Besides, washing my hands all the time (which I can't), any other methods to keep it clean? And can I make it back to its original color or just use it as it is?

well that's not really wear. That is just it getting dirty, which has nothing to do with build quality. Try a damp rag, should work well enough, just don't use any ammonia based cleaners.

My bad, I don't mean wear. The iBook is high quality as to craftmanship.

How about the touchpad?

I'm planning on buying the iskin keyboard cover for my iBook. Now you can buy them at the Apple Store.
