Hi Jennifer, You have possibly damaged the screen, even a slight hairline fracture will let splodges appear. It will get worse I imagine, but I have no idea how long before so.
You can get a screen replacement but again I don't know what the cost would be to Repair the iPod.c Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad On 01/03/2012, at 10:01 AM, Jennifer Lefroy <lefroy.jenni...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you, Ronni.
