I bought an iSkin from some vendor on ebay...States it is a actual iSkin and it is but I didnt realize that it was one of the old EXO...With the metal clip and does NOT WORK WITH ITRIP.....
Anyway....The thing fits like trash. In order to keep the screen tight and the top even with my hold button and headphone jack, I have to keep the metal clip in the back and I have to keep my headphones plugged in for everything to fit tight.

Anyone else have the same experiance with the old EXO?
I know the Evo ones fit...And that really what I was looking for anyway

Who reads this???

When I had an iPod, I preferred to use it nekkid. The Exo2 was a terrible case, and so is the Evo and all the other silicon cases. The reason they suck is because putting them in your pocket causes dust to build up on the outside. They get stuck in your pocket and everything. Just live with getting a few scratches and save yourself a lot of trouble by using your iPod without a case.

I have an exo2 for jogging, gym, etc. Sometimes it's good to use - like when you can drop it easily. I wouldn't recommend it for an everyday case.

So what is a good case for a 4G 40Gb? Ideally, I want a case that isn't too bulky, can be used with the dock, and has access to the buttons/dial and screen when its in the case, and is pretty cheap (I've seen the Vaja vPod case, I liked it until I found it costs $70). I was looking at the iSkin for the 4G, it looks ok and isn't bulky but the bottom has to be peeled off through the dial hole to put it in a dock (its not the end of the world if I can't use the case with the dock, it's just that I had the dock in the box, and its handy, so I may as well use it). I was looking at the Belkin flip case, but some sites say its only for the 4G 20Gb, not the 40Gb, because of the thickness difference I suppose.

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.
