iSkins & the iTrip

yes, its one of the advertised features.

I have iTrip and 40G 4g iPond. I can confirm that mine does not work sometimes. I have replied to a post in this forum about the same matter that another fellow was having. I need to put excessive pressure on the iTrip to make a proper connection. I rarely use the iTrip, only in the car for longer drives. To me it looks like the thickness of the skin is preventing proper connection with the iPod. Pressing the iTrip down further makes it work. My Bro has a 20G 4G and he can just connect it fine with no issues of pressing harder to make it work.

The other fellow here actually had to wrap couple of rubber bands around the iTrip and iPod to make it work.

I have contacted iSkin about the issue last week via email and still no response.

Here is a link to that thread

You could take the risk and mod the skin, like making it thinner, how? I don't know lol, but I'd have a go if I knew a method.

The Speck skin IS too thick (or mine was anyway) I had to actually make the cut-out bigger (pretty ugly, but it worked)

I got my new iSkin Evo 2 today - it works fine - the skin is noticably thinner on the top to accomodate the iTrip etc.

and it looks lovely...... buy iSkin - worth the extra money. you'll only buy twice otherwise... I did - and now I have an old Speck skin doing nothing...

I keep hearing both sides of this... Some say it works great with iTrip, others say they can't get it to fit properly.

It's got to be better than the JamJacket, though.

I'm another 4th Gen, 40GB iPod, iSkin and iTrip user unhappy about iSkins advertising and the lack of complete compatability between the iSkin and iTrip.

I have emailed this to iSkin, if they dont reply within a week, I will be faxing and sending them a copy, failing that, I'll be calling as I want an answer on this subject.

I'll keep this thread updated.

Hi,
I've seen some feedback left on ipodlounge from others users including myself who are also having problems with the iSkin on a 4th Gen iPod using the Griffen iTrip.

You advertise that the iSkin is compatible, but there is definitely an issue with the iTrip not connecting to the iPod as well as it should. Without the iSkin, the iTrip 'clicks' into place on the iPod. With the iSkin on the machine, the iTrip cannot click and therefore doesn't connect as well, I have spent many a car journey fighting with the iTrip trying to make it stay in place.

Can you please:
a) Confirm that's there is an issue with the iSkin and iTrip
b) Pass on any information about modifying the iSkin to accept the iTrip.

The fact is, even though the case is thinner on the top ("beveled" is the word that iSkin use i think), it's still too thick and doesn't allow an iTalk (and therefore also iTrip as well I assume) to connect to the ipod properly.

Just another me too here. I have the iskin and itrip and the 20gb ipod. The itrip does fail from time to time just as people have described here. I guess some careful shaving is the fix.

The problem is with the 40GB iSkin, not the 20GB version.

Unfortuantly, the iSkin is still having me hassles with the iTrip, it maybe slightly better but not satifactuary as I hoped.

Looks like its time for Mr Stanley knife to have a cut.
