Centrance upcoming product for Iphone 5 above and Ipod Touch 5 : Hi Fi SKYN
Jan 6, 2016 at 10:51 AM Post #827 of 1,140
  I was waiting for the iPhone 6 Plus version since I've had the iPhone 6 for about a year now. However, since the iPhone 5 version was available, I got that instead and I'm using my old iPhone 5, which was gathering dust, as a dedicated high end audio player. 
 
I figured that once the iPhone 5 dies, I can always get the iPod to replace it and use with the Hi-Fi Skyn. I'm not sure which version of the iPod the Skyn works with, but I believe it's the latest (6th?) gen version.
 
I'm not sure if the 5th gen iPod touch works with the Skyn on not.


That's an interesting idea I hadn't thought of - that the iPhone 5 version may be the most long-lasting model because it fits the iPod Touch which many may keep as their DAP even after upgrading iPhones. And that the iPhone 6 or 6S is really a more limited, finite-life device, because once people upgrade their phones, it largely loses its usefulness.

It is the same Skyn for 5/5s and 5th/6th gen iPod Touch.

That's why I changed my order from iPhone 6 Plus to iPhone 5/iPod Touch. And the thought of an 8 inch phone case :O

  Will skyn work with iPad?

 
You are not suggesting that an iPad fits into the iPhone case?
 
Should be, but you need the extension cable to rig it.

 
Yes, indeed, with a lightning connection cable like this one:

it should work.
 
Cheers,

Another fabulous option of future-proofing the Skyn!! While it defeats the purpose of an iPhone case, it is still an incredible DAC/amp!
 
btw ... I've noticed that the Skyn seems to get really hot, especially when charging the iPhone. I hope that this is not an issue.

No, I took temp readings and it isn't anywhere too hot.  Warm yes, but not hot.
