Iskin eVo2 and I trip problems
I just got an iSkin eVo2 for my 40 Gb 4G iPod. It fit great and didn't add much bulk. Then I tried to use my iTrip and it wouldn't work. The iSkin is pushing my iTrip up so that it doesn't connect properly.
The only way I can get it to work is to have two rubber band holding it tight. I thought maybe after a day or 2 with the rubber bands the iSkin will form to fit. No such luck.
So my question is, did anyone else have this problem? Did I get a bad iSkin, or is this just they way it is?

I was just about to post the same issue. I have the same problem, I pushed it in a little more and started working. I just got the iSkin and have onle used the itrip once. Ill monitor it but it seems to work OK once I put a little more pressure on it. It did not needs constant pressure like your rubberband.
Does any one else have this problem, I have a 40 gigger by the way..

so no one else has this issue huh?
I called iskin yesterday and they said they'd call me back by end of business.
they didn't. I'm hoping that i just have a defective iSkin and can swap it out.
I'll keep you updated.

Do you really mean 'iSkin' as in the actual brand-name iSkin, rather than just using it as a generic term to describe any brand of silicone case? The reason I ask is that I had exactly the problem you describe with a silicone case from Speck - but then changed over to an actual iSkin Evo 2 case and noticed that the silicone on the top was actually thinner to accomodate the iTrip and iTalk (etc.) products.
I actually got over the problem with the Speck case by trimming out the hole on the top with a scalpel you need only make the hole a couple of mm wider along it's widest dimension and the iTrip works fine.
Not sure if this is helpful as you may simply have a duff iSkin - if so, you should get it replaced as they are actually supposed to be thinner on the top.

My Ghost evo2 iSkin fits the iTrip perfectly. No problems whatsoever.
You got a bad one, man. They're supposed to work.

Good News!!!
The iSkin works with the iTrip. I have it, I'll see if I can post some pics sometime, gotta find my digital camera though. The iSkin appears to block off the iTrip but it still works, I tried it at my local Fry's and the red light was glowing as I used it. I think that means that it is on. The iTrip works with the iSkin. Perhaps they fixed the mold?
