Cheers Cormie, I was looking to pick one of these up.

Received my iSkin Friday morning, it was only sent on Tuesday or something. It's great, screen is protected, looks and feels good and has good protection. Great service from that place also.

Just ordered one, hoping it's less 'bloated' than the leather one you get with the 140?

It is quite bulky, I was thinking of cutting the belt loop off mine, I'm never going to use it, but it may cut the resale value a bit if I do ever get rid of it.

Mixie, did you order from iriver.us/misticriver.net(cheap and reliable place I got it from- the "here" link above) or iskin.com?

The iSkin isn't bulky at all, it's big enough to know your getting good protection but not bulky at all. It's a perfect fit. Just make sure you order the right size (H120/140 sizes differ)

The iSkin has a removeable belt clip, handy.

That's why I've bought the iSkin - hate hacking stuff up like that

MisticRiver Cormie, fingers crossed it arrives alright

cormie

cool, which one did you buy?

Mixie

Ebony for the 140, and it shipped last night, yay

Mixie

It arrived this morning, seems okay, though I dont know if it was worth 30 quid! We'll see I guess

cormie

That was quick.
For me personally, it was definitely worth it. I use it allot in my car and I have little mobile phone holder that hooks onto the airvent thing and closes to fit different sized phones, my IHP wasn't able to fit with the original case so I had to take it out, now it is able to fit with the iSkin, just allot handier because I would be taking it in and out of my car several times daily. When I am in work (carpentry training) there is allot of sawdust at times and the little pouch provided means it will stay safe. I also think it looks and feels great. I also find the play, a-b and stop buttons much easier to press now:)

Ah, don't say that. I ordered one too!

cormie

It was definitely worth it for me anyway.

Sure is alot to pay just for a slightly more convienient case. Not the nicest looking things either going buy those pics. Although glow in the dark...

cormie

Well it's an expensive piece of kit so I think its worth the protection!

SteM

The fact that it has covers for the USB and power ports built in is what drew me to it. That's one thing that iRiver messed up on their original design imo.

Got the sonic blue one myself and I think they're ace! Had the carbon one but I offloaded that to my bro...

SteM

Mine came yesterday, got the carbon one. Great stuff altogether, once you take off the belt clip it really cuts down on the size. It really feels like the machine is really protected and I can finally carry it in my jacket pocket without worrying that lint or tissue will get stuck in one of the ports.

I don't think I'll be using the leather one again

cormie

take off the circular thing inside the case too and your sorted;)

tuco

Anyone buy the ghost one? Not sure if it's nice looking or not, don't want to make it look like an ipod, but glow in the dark might be cool. Anyone know any decent pictures of them on the web? All i can find are those ones from iskins webpage posted everywhere, and they're tiny. Some actual users pics would be nice - any chance some of you would post a few pics of yours (any colour)?
Cheers,
