WoW if all your looking at is price then buy a #### case, but if you’re looking for quality fit, better design, and superior screen protection then buy an iSkin case. The #### exo 3 case has covered buttons, no screen protection, no belt clip and an open firewire port - it should be cheaper in price. The iSkin exo and evo has a covered firewire port that the #### cases don’t. I’d rather have the covered firewire port any day. It can get damaged easier than the buttons.

../Waves to the forum, as a iPod N00b..

Wow. Im stoked. I just got my first iPod as a gift this week, birthday (42!!! - damn..how did I live this long??? ) The supplied Apple case is lame, so found out about this site from Tom’s Hardware.

I was going to order a eXo2 yesterday, then came here, found out about the Evo, ordered it yesterday! Can’t wait. (Their site was way laggy yesterday…they got a good response to the release I imagine) Anyhooo…wanted to thank this site for bein’ here, and all the peeps that post info…Im pretty excited!

I like these, but until I can dock it with the skin on I probably won’t get one…

Looks good.  BUT - are these skins still dust magnets?  That was the main turn-off for me.

^ True, I find myself barely using my eXo2 because it attracts so much dust and lint.

“From the look of it, it has very fragile plastic clip.”

Oh, so you’re just going to guess it’s fragile because you looked at one picture.  Don’t be an idiot.

I find that my eXo skin I got in indigo has become dusty and I don’t even use it because of that.

I use my McClear, iPod Sling or Mareware Sportsuit w/ armband.

AGGH!  i just finished ordering my exo3 asphalt a couple days ago, and now the evo comes out!!! the only reason i didn’t go for the exo2 was the damaging screeen protector, and now they fix it. *sigh* oh well, its only 30 bucks more, a small price to pay for ipod peace of mind…

dsotm, you can cancel your order with #### if it hasn’t shipped. He’s pretty good about that. He’s pretty responsive to emails.

If i had to decide beteween the Evo and Exo3, I would defintely go with the Exo3. Mainly, because it is much cheaper and provides more protection. Such as, it covers the scroll wheel and buttons. Plus, you can also use the iTrip with it because it is only 0.2 mm thick.

Correction 0.7mm thick.

I just ordered the iskin evo with 1-2 day shipping, and it just arrived and it is AMAZING.  It would be worth 50 dollars to me, and my ipod finally feels safe.  Now I need to buy a griffin italk and itrip to go with it!  Everyone go buy one of these, they are really worth it.

How exactly do you guys even have EXO3’s? Haven’t they been out of stock forever on ####.biz?

I guess I am the only one who doesn’t love the exo2.  It looks great and works great on the go, but it is def. a pain to use in the dock.  Plus it’s heavy and really bulks up the ipod.  The new clip might be nice, but do you still have to slide/pull the ipod out of the case to attach it?  It made it pointlessly heavy to carry around without the clip (if you leave the mounting disk on inside the case).

I have a black exo2 and I like to use it on trips because it’s pretty rugged.  And I’ve never had lint issues.  Being able to attach the navipod or itrip is a major improvement, too.

exo3 is out for the 10/15/20 GB sizes and there are starting to be some 30/40 GB added every day.

Highly unlikely, as all of these “skin” cases add thickness to the iPod and thus will not fit into the Apple dock. The exception is the one skin-type case that has a “flap” on the bottom that allows access for the dock.

Addendum to my post above…looks like #### just introduced his version of the “flip” case called the “exoflp” case:

I have the iskin exo2.  I dock it by pulling the bottom of the iskin off and back, through th scrollwheel hole, and plunk it in the dock.  Nice to hear about the iTrip support - that was my main gripe with the case.  Very solid though - I dropped my ipod on asphalt and was fine due to my iskin.
