Looking for Pictures - Asphalt, Ice, Snow, & Frost

I've narrowed it down to these 4.... Now to make the final decision...
I think i like asphalt the best, but the one picture ive seen, it was covered in lint/dust...
Anyone have "good" pictures of the 4 of them?

Well, I have 3 out of the 4. I was one of the testers for the 3 original iSkins - thanks Lajo! Personally I like the Frost the best. I will be putting a post of my review & thoughts up - probably later tonight. but here are the pictures for now.

What order are they in from left to right? It looks like ice, then white frost, and then snow, or am I completely off.

Yes - it's ice / Frost / Snow. In that order.

I was also one of the testers. Out of the three I find myself going either for the frost or the snow, I feel that they both enhance the "whiteness" of the ipod. Additionally the iskin give the ipod a very much needed "grippiness" and some cushioning. They fit great, are easy to put on and off. I also have a martian and a blue mist and love them all. I know I'm nuts but every couple of days I change the iskin giving my ipod a different look.

After seeing those pics so far (thank you guys), Im basically down to 3 now...

1) Asphalt
2) Frost
3) Snow

I dont really like ice after seeing those pics...

Does the asphalt really pick up that much lint?

Any color can be washed in dish detergent and dried. On the colors I have I haven't really seen them as a "dirt magnet".

I have a frost one which to my eyes looks a bit dirty all the time. I think I'll be getting an asphalt coloured one next time.

Since there are already pictures of the ice, frost, and snow iskins available with the ipods, I thought it would be interesting to see the iskins without the ipods. This will allow you to see the transparency of the individual iskins. I tried to show the color differences:

And now the fronts:

I must say that my personal favorites is the snow or the frost. I like the way it looks, didn't think I would.

I would also like to thank Lajo for allowing me to sample the iskins, too bad more manufacturers aren't like him.

# 13 Re: Looking for Pictures - Asphalt, Ice, Snow, & Frost
I have many professional reviewers that want me to send product to them but I prefer my audience because they can give a gut opinion of it and by using it everyday they know what is good and bad about the cases, this can not be accomplished by someone that looks and tests it in their office.

I agree Lajo, the "Grassroots" reviews are more reassuring than the "White Collar" reviews ;-)

However, not everyone comes to iPodlounge --> Forums --> Cases... You'd get better exposure with official reviews posted on front pages of all the ipod sites and mac news sites.

Again, *I* sure appreciate these personal reviews. ;)

The iSkin sure seems to dominate the cases market, from what we can tell here in the forums. Lajo-- Would you be willing to slap a rough number on how many you've shipped? Just for kicks ;-)

Ya, it seems like you get better reviews if you let ordinary users review them. Lajo, you could probably get alot more publicity if you let larger sites review them too. Heck, i'd love to review something for you.

I preffered the SNOW. That color more matches the white of the iPod.
