New iPod Skins Hurt Our Eyes
While we're on the topic of Apple and iPod accessories, one of the earliest makers of iPod cases, iSkin, rolled out a new design line of its popular eVo2 iPod protector. The eVo2 is distinct for its tight, form-hugging silicon cases, which really more accurately fall in the "protector" category rather than that of "case"
The first version of eVo2 was limited to several solid colors, including the classic rubber-white version. The new line is called the iSkin Wild Sides eVo2. What sets it apart is its glow-in-the-dark tiger-like stripes in vivid hues. The Wild Sides come in "Rebel" (deep blue and white), "Diva" (hot pink and white) and "Verve" (bright green and white). iSkin's really cool feature in the new eVo2, however, is the swirl-like cover for the Apple's innovative click-wheel control on the iPod's face.
Personally, kids, I like my iPod cases/protectors a little more sedate in design. The Wild Sides verison hurts my eyes. The glow-in-the-dark factor is most definitely cool and undoubtably a practical feature for those who listen to their iPods in the dark. But aesthetically, I find the animal-print-like stripes, kind of cheesy. But to each one's own.
If this is the iPod case flavor that you favor, then get ready to cut $34.99 from your stack. These new protectors will work with all new 4G iPods, with dock access for iPhoto included.
