Product Description
iSkin have taken their excellent and popular eVo2 case and redesigned it for the new 4G Clickwheel iPod (20GB) - with more protection and more functionality, the eVo is the ultimate iPod 4th Generation (4G) protection device. Also fits the iPod Photo 30GB!
The iSkin eVo includes an improved screen protector that has four mini soft mounts that grip to the iPods surface and keeps the protector elevated. Once placed over the screen, the protector acts a barrier against objects coming in contact with your iPod's screen.
Many iSkin customers want to use their favoritetop mounting iPod accessories with their iSkin. So we made it possible to plug devices like the iTrip and NaviPod into the iPod without having to remove the iSkin eVo first. The top of the iPod remains protected by the iSkin eVo and gives you easy access to the hold switch.
We went back to the drawing board and came up with a completely new belt clip design. Its made of a durable, non-shattering, light weight plastic polymer that wont snap apart. The new RevoClip design offers one of the lowest profiles found on belt clips of its kind. It integrates seamlessly into the iSkin eVo and clips securely to your belt. The new RevoClip can be completely removed if desired and is fully compatible with the iSkin eXo2.
The iSkin eVo features a bottom dock connectorport cover that wont fall off and get lost. It securely plugsinto the iPods docking/charging port to keep out dust, dirtor liquids that may enter and cause permanent damage.

 Hands down, best iPod case January 22, 2006

iSkin makes great products, don't be tempted by the cheep knock-offs. The silicone case is perfectly molded to fit the iPod, it doesn't let any dust or debris in and the iPod looks great in the case. I bought an iSkin for my little brother when he got his iPod as a graduation gift. My brother is horribly abusive with his iPod, plays basketball, puts it in his pocket, takes it everywhere, etc. Going on a year and a half and his iPod lives in the iSkin case and looks and works just like new. Yes, it's a little price, but after you've spent all that money on an iPod, what's a couple more bucks to keep it looking good as new. My highest recommendation.

My daughter got an iPod last Christmas and a few days later got an iSkin to 'protect' it. This Christmas I had to bring the iPod in to Apple because it had the sad iPod icon and it wasn't being recognized by our computer -we couldn't even charge it. The first thing the guy at Apple ask was if we used an iSkin cover. He said using the clip on the back will dent the back of an iPod over a period of time and the hard drive is right under were it dents. Of course it happened just after our 1 year warranty was up. Our next iPod will definietly have a different case!
A good case with a few flaws September 16, 2005

When I first got my iPod, I was obsessed with keeping it as scratch free and beautiful as the day I got it. I still am. This case was an almost immediate purchase and seemed, from what I had read, the perfect solution: a case that allows access to all features while protecting them and adding little extra bulk but maintaining the distinct iPod look.
When I first got my case and put it on, I was, initially, less than enthused. The cover did not retain the iPod look as well as I had hoped but it appeared, with the wheel cover and screen cover, that my iPod would be fully protected but still, it just destroyed the sexiness of the iPod! As I explained to my roommate, the iSkin is a lot like a condom: you don't want to wear one but you know you should.
So over the span of a month that I've had the case, I've developed a specific set of problems which is leading me to invest in iPod armor.
The first problem is the belt clip. I don't use it at all, it stays at home sitting on my desk. But still have those stupid pegs sticking out of the back. And, from what I've read, the disc that these pins are anchored to could potentially dent and damage my iPod. I thought I had solved this problem the first time I removed the iSkin for cleaning - the disc came out! Unfortunately, that loosened the tension on the skin and allow the skin to slide around easily so I had to put it back. I find that, generally, the pegs make sliding this in and out of my pocket a bit of a chore. Especially when coupled with the gripping power of the silicone.
My second complaint is the protective screen. I thought it to be awesome that they found a way to make it fit in there smoothly without any kind of adhesive. But now, my screen slides around way too easy, causing the skin to over lap onto it on the bottom end or making it crooked. It feels like I'm constantly re-adjusting it. The click wheel protector is a bit annoying, as well, because it tends to have air beneath it that I can't get out which gives it a weird tactile feel whenever I click the center of the click wheel.
Overall, the iSkin does what I needed: protects my iPod from daily scratches and scrapes. I wouldn't trust this case to protect it from a fall, though. The reason I gave this case three stars is because of the pegs that the belt clip mounts to and the sliding screen. These are annoyances which, when you're carrying this around daily, really start to get to you. If you're just looking to protect your iPod from cosmetic scratches, this is a worthwhile investment. I plan to start biking with mine so, the current problems coupled with the threat of it hitting hard pavement have led me to look at purchasing Matias iPod armor.
As a side note, I bought my girlfriend an iSkin for her iPod mini and the fit and feel of it was most definitely tighter and the screen seemed very secure. So if you have a mini and need a skin, I would consider the iSkin mini.

I bought this skin because I needed something sturdy to work out with, but I hate arm bands. The very first time I used this case was during a 5K and about 10 steps into the race, the belt clip broke and I was forced to carry my Ipod through the entire race! If you want your case to provide anything but a slick outside I would instead recommend a simple leather case I bought at JCPenney for $10!

This is a freat case for any regular ipod, i just cant get over that guy who dented his ipod on the back! When i first bought this, all i had to do was remove the whole belt clip altogether! this provides great protection without the chance of denting or scrathing your beloved ipod. Besides, the clip is a waste of product, as people who wear ipods on their belts look like dorks, and i usually laugh at them!
