So I am liking the competition these guys are setting up for each other. So far I think personalized iSkin is the best product but unfortunately they are only available in quantities of 50 or more. (for now)
MacSkinz is nice but they are $35 for one.
HP seems to have come up with a good alternative. They are giving away sample ones of selected artists and are supposedly coming up with a way to print custom iPod Tattoos from their printers. Meaning cheap, easily customized, and easily changeable.

Custom printed PodSkinz will be available as one-offs. Although my resources are focused on bringing back the macSkinz right now, they should be available sometime soon. I need to work out the logistics. There are currently other wrap products on the market and if I'm not mistaken, they can be printed on your own printer. PodSkinz can not be printed yourself, but must be printed by us because they a form-fitting 3-d shape.

Thanks,
Doug

Well, the MacSkinz version is a completely different beast. It's more of a protective casing when compared to HP's "skin".
