Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is essentially the same product as the black sticker with melting metal, so the review will be the same...fyi.First of all, I was impressed with the quality of the graphics. Although I don't yet have an iTrip (so i haven't used the upper skin), the main body's skin is a fairly nice fit.
The skin does not fully cover the iPod mini. Once you have centered the front and wrapped it around, the back has about a sixteenth of an inch left bare where the two edges don't meet. Not a big deal, since you'll likely use it to begin peeling the skin off if/when you decide to move on to another skin. Plus, compared to a lot of other skins I've seen online, a straight edge like the one on this skin is much more attractive on an iPod than the curvy edges of many online stores where you can upload your own graphics or use their templates (I personally don't care for a wavy odd-shaped expanse of uncovered backing when the rest of my iPod looks nicely done up in it's new skin).
Another note on the dimensions - if you center the front of the skin around the viewscreen, you'll be left with a sliver of bare iPod at the top and about a 32nd of an inch or so of bare iPod at the bottom. This skin doesn't fully cover the iPod (not counting the back of the device as mentioned above). So the image provided by the company is a bit misleading. I'll try to remember to upload some pics later to show these gaps.
The package comes with both iTrip and main body skins on one sheet, with a plastic tab (nice touch) to gently press out any air bubbles that might be introduced when you apply the skin. It also comes with a clear viewscreen cover to protect your screen from scratches. Again, a nice addition. But as with the skins, the clear cover doesn't go to the edges. You'll be left with about a 32nd of an inch all the way around. Like it or not, it *does* enable you to easily get a bit of the edge to easily pull it off for replacement as needed.
As you can see in the picture from the company, the scroll wheel is completely covered with the skin. It is not serrated or a separate sticker or anything. However, the viewscreen's area *IS* a separate piece. It easily pushes out from the main body's sticker when you remove it from the sticker's backing. It comes right out easily, with no sticking or uncut edges or serrations or anything that would leave an unclean edge for you.
Back to the scroll wheel: it is completely responsive to my touch. There is a bit of an airgap since the actual scroll wheel is a bit inset to begin with, but it hasn't caused any problems and I've had mine on for weeks of regular use now.
One thing I've noticed about the wear and tear, though, is that the left and right edges of the main body's skin surrounding the viewscreen do not stick very well. I think I may have pulled the sticker a bit tight when I first put it on, I'm not sure. Maybe the adhesive just doesn't hold on an odd angle like that, where the skin starts wrapping around the curved edges of the iPod toward the back. I don't know...
I'm thouroughly enjoying mine, hopefully you enjoy yours as well. I definitely recommend it.
