Customer Reviews

Much better than some...
As an iPod owner for a matter of weeks I was eager to get a silicone skin for it as soon as possible. The original came from another source and suffered from many of the problems described by others here - the most infuriating aspect being the fact that the click wheel required herculean patience before it would respond. So I went in search of a replacement and found this.

Delivery was swift (ordered Sunday evening, delivered Tuesday) using standard delivery options.

My heart sank a little when I opened the packaging and found that the click wheel area was covered - where the image on this page clearly shows the click wheel being visible.

However, having fitted the skin to my 80Gb Classic I have had absolutely no problems at all using the click wheel. Responsiveness is 100% better than the skin I had previously.

Makes the iPod even sexier!
Don't know what some of these other reviewers are on about complaining about this. This skin actually enhances the iPods attractiveness I think, with its silky finish. Knowing that my purchase is totally encased and protected makes it an added bonus that it still looks good.

Ok, the screen protector does need trimming with scissors by about 1mm each edge in order to fit without any air bubbles, but apart from that I see no problem. Click wheel works fine for me and my iTrip fits into the docking port without any problems. Only one drawback I can find is that it doesn't fit into my docking cradle with the skin on - but I use this cradle only when I'm hooking my iPod into my hifi, which isn't often. Most times I sit it on top of the speaker unit in the kitchen and it fits on there ok as this was designed for all iPods so has plenty of slack space all around the dock connecotor.

Bottom Line? Nice item, good price, happy I bought it. If/when I agree to buy an iPod for my wife's birthday I will put one of these skins into the basket at the same time.

Great product if a little snug
Brand new item is a little snug on my iPod - the screen cut-out and tension on the body means it slips backwards and sometimes obscures the headphone socket and lock slider.

As others have mentioned, screen has no protection with this sleeve. For me that's no issue - I have it in my backpack and simply want to avoid damage from nearby items also in the bag. I position it so the screen's integrity is not compromised.

Other than that, it is absolutely great - does not attract fluff, is natty in black, and the scroll wheel works absolutely fine every time; I'm puzzled as to why other reviewers have had problems with this?

Would happily recommend given the observations above
