Got my Xskn3!

I finally got the e-mail that some of the Xskn 3's were off of back-order and available for purchase. I just got an indigo one and a matching indigo iBook keyboard cover. I like them both a lot! The Xskn 3 works pretty well in letting you use the dials through the silicone, although the hold button is a little hard to use.

Also, I was hoping from the pictures online that the indigo was a little bit more on the cobalt / purple side, but I do like this too. Also it matches my desktop background.

What I got is all from http://www.lajo.biz. Lajo has iPod skins for each of the generations of the original iPod in many different colors. I believe there is some mild controversy because another company sells a similar product with a similar name and claims some kind of infringement, but if you look at the offerings of the two companies, you can tell who loves maccies more. The new 3G covers are about $10 each. Some of his previous designs are thicker and more expensive. I think the most expensive one is $40, but it has flame patterns on the outside that are supposedly unique to each individual unit.

He also has keyboard covers (iSkin), which is what I had on my keyboard in the picture. This was about $17.

As for the Xskn3 and taking it on/off, it is a serious pain. It does not have the "doggy door" kind of bottom that you can flip out of the way. It's very thin (adds about 1.5 mm to the thickness of the iPod), but I'm not sure it's thin enough to fit into a dock. You would probably have to stretch it out of the way. FWIW, I don't have a dock, and it works fine with the cable attachments.
