i don’t think i’m overexaggerating when i say that *this* is the best day in the history of time.  except maybe the day my iskin comes in the mail.

no longer will i be forced to carry around my G4 in a frickin bandana!  no longer will i be forced to use icleaner once a day!

i think ghost glows blue.  i got arctic because i don’t think i want a glow one like in a movie theater or something (i bring it everywhere)

I ordered Lava for 20GB. With PDA screen protector on the wheel, my iPod will be 100% protected! (well not 100%, but pretty close..)

Despite what others have, I prefer the apple case. Although I am not able to access the controls, I like its simplicity and stylish look. I also think it compliments the ipod’s semetrical design.

I couldn’t decide between the 2 so I ordered both Arctic & Sonic.  Heh.  Why not opt for a little wardrobe change every now & then….

Haha, I’m using an inside-out sock at the moment. I ordered ghost as well.

$37.49 for a case that I don’t know when it will be here. NO THANKS! ($7.50 for shipping! It’s a rubber case, you can ship it in an evelope for God’s sake!)

I guess they could be shipping them in silicone UPS boxes. But then, to protect the shipping box, they have to ship that in another silicone box. It is just an endless loop of shipping inside of silicone, in silicone, in silicone, culminating in a $7.50 shipping charge. iSkin, go… yourself.

I thought the price was a bit high but what the heck…but the shipping is just insane. They can ship it priority for a few bucks and it would get here in a couple of days. I was counting the seconds for it to come out for my 4G 20gig, but now I think I’ll wait.

Whatever, I’m going for it.

there is no other way! online retailers in the uk charge at least £22.00 plus £3 shipping, this price is not going to drop for ages, the evo1 is still the same price, the exo2 only came down in price because of the release of the evo. so if you want an exo2 you will just have to pay what iskin are charging.

Just ordered ghost for my 4g 40gb, a teeny bit pricey, but I saw at the bottom of the page, “Order today and get a free iPod accessory travel pouch”. So I guess it’s worth it if I get more than one mode of protection in one UPS box…..Beats using a Guinness bar towel with a rubber band around it for safety like I am doing right now!

Prices *do* drop after a while.  Do a search for iskin on Newegg.com.  They have all the 3g eVos for $16.99 or $19.99 + ~$4 for fed-ex shipping.  I dunno whether this is their regular price, or a discounted price since the 3gs have been superceded.  If it is their regular price, I’d imagine the 4g eVo2s will be comparable in price once Newegg gets them in stock.  I feel iSkin is charging more right now because they can (demand is very high, supply of 4g cases is very low)
