The Iskin Evo3 solution for complete iPod and iPhone Protection

As I said earlier, dropping or damaging your iPod, it is nothing short of an expensive nightmare.

The feeling of loss sinks in. If only I would have spent a few dollars on a good case this wouldn't have happened. How many times does something rotten happen, and it isn't until then we wise up and take action against such and incident happening agian. Be Proactive!

Not only is this the smart thing to do, you'll find your iPod looks better in one of the eVo3 cases too.

In 2005 iSkin realesed the iSkin eVo3, the latest version of the company’s popular silicone iPod case. The eVo3 is remains the top selling case for ipods.

Designed specifically for the new fifth-generation (video) iPod, the eVo3 “protects the iPod with video and enhances the aesthetic beauty of the device while maintaining complete functionality and control access,”. The case features a new scratch resistant face and screen protector, a removable rotary belt clip (RevoClip 2), heat release pores, and a micro-textured body that provides an anti-slip gripping surface. The eVo3 comes in six colors—green, blue, red, frosted clear, black, and pink.

iSkin has chosen to embrace Apple’s design of the fifth-generation iPod by creating the eVo3’s front face with right-angle edges, and placing smooth-radius curves only on its rear face. The entire silicone body, save for the bevels on its front surface, is slightly textured, leading to a nice, subtle “grippy” feel without detracting from the generally smooth look of the case.
We found the general fit of the case to be tight and accurate, with all holes and controls lining up well.

On top, the iPod’s Hold switch is protected, yet remains usable, by a piece of thick silicone “floating” inside a moat of an extremely thin, flexible layer of silicone.
Simply move the inner piece, and the underlying hold switch comes along for the ride.
This clever protection scheme is similar to that used by several companies to protect the iPod shuffle’s on/off switch without sacrificing its utility. We found it to work acceptably well, though not perfectly, with enough downward pressure applied.

At the iPod’s bottom, the Dock Connector is covered with a flap of silicone, as in several of iSkin’s previous designs. Thankfully, this cover alleviates one of our major concerns with its predecessors: it’s now much larger, allowing easy use with slightly-oversized plugs such as those found on several of Belkin’s accessories.

Finally, the entirety of the iPod’s front face below the screen (including the Click Wheel) is protected by a thin layer of silicone. The Wheel’s use is not inhibited, both scrolling smoothly and clicking accurately through the protective layer.

Another New Age in Screen Protection

When iSkin released their original eVo case,designed for the third-generation iPod, we called its raised, hard plastic screen protector ”A new age in screen protection.”

With the eVo3, we believe iSkin has made an equally impressive screen protector design.


By far, the most striking new feature of the entire case is this protector, which extends down the entire front face of the iPod and surrounds its Wheel, making the eVo3 a loose hybrid of the typical silicone “skin” style case and a hard case like Contour’s Showcase.
The VISOR, as iSkin calls it, is thick by today’s standards for rigid screen protectors, offering a satisfying feel of protection.
Despite its thickness, we found it to be extraordinarily clear, not hindering visibility of the iPod’s screen at all.

Around the VISOR’s perimeter is a ridge of thinner resin which slides into a groove in the silicone on the eVo3’s front surface.
It is anchored to a small “nub” of silicone beneath the Click Wheel.
What does this ridge-groove mounting method mean for iPod protection? No part of the hard plastic screen protector ever makes contact with the iPod’s body, in what we consider to be an excellent design improvement over previous hard plastic screen protection designs, where a sliding screen protector had the potential to scuff the iPod’s face.

The edge of the VISOR that surrounds the Wheel is smoothly beveled, allowing for comfortable scrolling with the thumb. In fact, the presence of the thick border actually negates the tendency our thumbs often have to slide off of an uncased iPod’s Wheel.

Some potential eVo3 buyers may question the utility of purchasing a case with a large, exposed, vulnerable clear plastic face. This is certainly a valid concern, though we found the eVo3’s VISOR to be a much harder plastic than the iPod’s face, and nowhere near as easily scratched.
