Considering Colorware, but Im a nervous nancy.

I love my 5.5g iPod Video. I loves it so very much :( I am always tinkering with new ways to make it special; just recently I found iPodWizard and am now sporting a fancy new UI theme. Now, I'm considering getting it Colorware'd.

Has anyone else here ever gotten a Video done by Colorware? I saw a bunch of 3Gs and 4Gs, but no Videos.

Has anyone ever had a bad experience with a Colorware iPod? I'm big on aesthetic, and I'm particularly nervous about the paint coming off. That'd be $130 down the drain.

Also, and this is important - I use and am a big fan of the Contour Designs "Showcase" for the Video. It's a very tight case, the iPod can't really move around at all inside of it. Is the thick layer of point going to end my usage of this case? Anyone have any experience with that?

And also, as I understand from their website, all iPods that are sent in to be painted come back with a 30 day warranty and 1 year of free labor, so if the paint does get FUBARd it wouldn't be the end of the world, I guess.

The most important things I want to know are: Has anyone had a bad experience with the paint coming off/fading, and does anyone know if my case will be shelved?

The big alure of the old iPod was the translucent quality of the casing. That means that the paint was applied from the "inside" and the outside see-thru plastic give it a special shiny look AND no fear of paint bubbing off. I heard once Colorware also does paint from the inside, otherwise to me it's not worth it.

if u mess up, can always order a replacement from HERE (http://cnn.cn/shop/apple-video-c-256_257.html). It's just money. :)
