iPod Silicon Skin

This is a good, inexpensive and required set wherefore your new iPod ( mine is the video, 30gb model ). The select contains clear sticky pieces to place on the primary, back and dial of your iPod, a silicon skin and a wrap so your arm if you same to wear it while exercising. The sticky sheets must be put up on slowly and on a veritable clean surface. Wipe your iPod off and try not to leave any lint or dust ( which will cause air pockets ), taking the primary sticky piece ( which has the center cut - out ) peel off the backing and start at the top corner of the iPod and smooth it across the prime, trying to push out any bubbles that may appear. If you need to lift the sheet off, any bending of the corner will cause the plastic to stay bent so try to do it right the first off time. After smoothing out the bubbles, it will continue to settle and look pretty transparent. I didn ' t use the dial covering piece since the silicon will
cover that area. After you do one piece, you ' ve got the knack then the other piece / s. The silicon stretches nicely and snugly, but doesn ' t look that great when humidity causes it to stick to areas of the iPod. I found that adding a Veritable light dusting of talc to the interior of the silicon skin before stretching it on, keeps the silicon from sticking to the iPod and the color of the silicon skin appears pretty even looking. The scratch still stays on the iPod, protecting it from scratches. The armband is nice and slips through a slot in the back of the silicon scratch but it isn ' t a very same tight or secure fit because of the weight of the iPod and the lightness of the scratch and, if you ' re running, I would imagine that the iPod could still slip out of the silicon scratch, especially the top which has less of the silicon cover because of the screen area. I ' m still able to charge it with the skin on, using my USB cable. For a first - time iPod user ( like myself ), this is an adequate and inexpensive accessory which will show you to what you would look for in the future, when you want to pay more for iPod protection.
