I used to use an iSkin on my previous Photo but I didn't want to bulk up the slim form factor of the 5G.
Also note that the iSkin hard plastic screen protector will, ironically enough, scratch the Ipod's screen at the 4 contact points. You will need some kind of PDA screen protector to serve as a buffer.



yeah, when you think about what it really is (3M scotchguard), it's pricey. you can buy large sheets of it elsewhere and cut it yourself...they actually work well for motorcycle fenders, too. but they're comparable to other ipod guards out there.

anyway, the back was a bit harder to put on only b/c the tabs require some patience to stick down. but no dust and almost all the air bubbles are easily squeegeed out. i hear it's more noticeable on the black ipods, though. this site gives some visual instructions for applying on a black nano.

I've decided to order the Agent 18 case for my video iPod. It will be available later this month (November, 2005).

I especially like the more open access to the bottom port. This is one of the few hard cases that will accomodate connectivity to my Sendstation PocketDock. Also, I am expecting many of the new accessories to connect to the bottom port.

Agent 18

i loved my 3G iSkin eVo... so i'll probably maintain brand loyalty for a change and get the iSkin eVo3 when it's out...

although the computer-rendering currently on the website is ugly.

I have an Agent 18 case for the Nano and it's form is great. However there are two lines going across the face of the case including the screen though, and if this were the case with the 5G it might be a bit distracting. A rainbow-like refraction of the lines can be seen at most times when the backlight is on. Apart from that, easily the best case I've come across in terms of the level of protection vs portability. Regardless of the lines (if they are there) I will be picking up a 5G Agent 18.

I see ZCover is also gaining popularity. I have a cover for the X5 and it's easily one of the most thought-out silicone cases I've come across in a while. I haven't bought a 5G ZCover (and have no plans to buy one) but if I wanted a silicone case they're the ones I'd go for.

I picked up mine on Tottenham Court Road. So there are definitely importers. I really do hope they do separate 30g/60g versions, not 60g with filler.

that is a silicone case. i got it from a shop in singapore. it costs SGD20. this is the 60gb version. there is also a 30gb version. there are also other colours available. but this will be temporary as i prefer a leather case.

the Agent 18 case looks cool i have to admit..

but one thing really bothers me... its the bottom of the case...
