I know what you mean.
I love the iPhone naked but can't relax without the protection of a skin. Yet there are times when a case is handy too. What a pity that you can't use these two together!
Got a tip for us?

Yeah I'm a little paranoid too, I actually do use a silicone case when I plan on being out for a while. I actually thought about sanding the Griffin case down a bit inside but thought it was too much work and would most likely end up botched.
Ahh well...

Excellent job, superb photos, and great review. Many thanks!
Got one on mine now ((having taken off an Invisible Shield) with a Power Support Crystal Film screen protector, and the combination looks perfect!

This is what i am thinking about doing. Please let me know how this combo works out for you. I have invisishield and do not like it.
The BSE is a far better fit than the Invisible Shield.
After 56 hours, all looks very good indeed!
Great review, many thanks.
I applied mine yesterday, seems to have pockets of water will these evaporate and it stick down or is it time to order another one? Did you push out the water from under it or just let it evaporate over time. How long before it looked that good?
That looks great. I had a BSE on my previous 60GB ipod. I have yet to apply my BSE to my ipod touch (v1), mostly because of the lack of time to do it right.
I don't find the orange peel look bad at all. The best thing about the BSE other than the protection is gives is the semi-non-skid feel it gives the device. I felt safer knowing that my ipod was not going to slide all over in my car or on my desk if things shifted a little.
My corners stayed put for 2 years on the old ipod. It looked the same when I sold it as it did the first day I applied the BSE.

You'd be better off using a couple of drops of baby shampoo. Some dishwashing liquids can be a bit harsh.

What about hair shampoo? Or body shampoo?
FYI, when I applied it with dishwashing soap, it started yellowing within a week. When I used a milder hand-soap, no yellowing at all. This is with BSE.
My findings have been similar: The BSE does the job of keeping scratches at bay, but needs replacing about once every three months to maintain an immaculate look. At least they are cheap.
I'm going to try an Invisible Shield next time as an experiment to see whether the same 'edge-peeling' problem exists. That would be expensive!
