Thank you! It even feels better than a standard unit since it has many layers of clear coating, it is smooth to the touch. This is painted with the same quality and precision that a high end sports car (think ferrari, not chevy!). Even the tiny little screws are painted on the bottom :)

Nothing against Chevy, I love GM, but their paint jobs are prone to orange peel :(

I had a colorware iPod, their paint jobs are top notch.
