4.0 out of 5 stars Protects well but catches dust and lint, January 6, 2005

Bought this for my iPod Photo 60 GB, yesterday. There are no specific iPod cases for the 60 GB variety at this point and I was a little concerned whether this would fit. Gladly, it did.

iSkin is similar to Jam jacket and it gives good protection for iPod. This product is available in multiple colors.

Good points:
1) Good protection for iPod, from scratches and minor falls
2) Fits iPod 40 GB, iPod Photo 40 GB, as well as iPod Photo 60 GB
3) Uses a separate hard plastic screen protector that doesn't stick or attract dirt
4) Has perforations to prevent bubbles
5) Has a belt clip that can be rotated/removed
6) Doesn't have a bulge around the dock port like some other iPod cases; instead it has a collapsable tab

Bad points:
1) Can't insert into the dock as the bottom is too thick with the jacket
2) The silicone body tends to attract dust and lint (may demand frequent cleaning)
3) Like most cases, makes the iPod a little bulky and hence unsuitable for some of the accessories that are made to fit the unadorned iPod only
4) The rotary belt clip is a little difficult to use and it may not lost long if used often
5) Covers the top of the iPod and makes it difficult to use the accessories that sit on the iPod (like FM transmitter, Navipod etc.)

If you are crazy about the iPod dock, look for a jacket that opens in the bottom to make room for the dock's jack. I have seen such products but never explored them since I am not a fan of the dock!

Overall, this skin is pretty good. It looks great, but more importantly, it gives your iPod grade 'A' protection. The screen cover also works quite well. However, the openings on the skin for the headphone jack, dock connector, e.t.c., are not perfectly coordinated with the actual openings on the iPod, so when you plug things in, they might be slightly tilted to the side. One of the biggest gripes you might have about this case is that when trying to plug in additional accesories like the iTalk or the iTrip, the iPod might not register them, as the thick case will put too much room between the ports and the accesories you are trying to connect. I suspect this is a problem with all 'total protection' cases, though. Definetly buy this case if you don't need any accesories with your iPod, but if you want to connectexternal mics, speakers, e.t.c., look somewhere else.

I bought this Skin and I'm very glad I did. I purchased A used Ipod Photo 30 GB and I wanted to protect it, and hide the fact that it was slightly worn. This case did both. It protects it from any future harm, and covers up it's past scratches. It has a tendency to attract dust and hair, but that's because it is made of silicon. Things made of silicon are often very attracting. This one comes with a screen protector which is very important, and some cases dont come with that. Contrary to other reviews I wish the skin was even tighter around my Ipod, because around the click wheel is a little too loose and I am worried about maybe dirt getting in that. Other then that it rocks and I highly reccomend that. It fits in my dock just fine and makes my Ipod unique and is alot more friendly then the hard cases. I dont use the belt clip because belt clips are not too attractive.
