Okay.

I just got my iSkin in the mail. It was the ghost color one.

Some happy things:

-Skin fits snug and makes me feel safe with my iPod.
-The order comes with a screen protector and a wheel protector.
-Glows blue in the dark.
-Easily slides into the case.
-colored shades look awesome.
-all openings for USB attachement, headphones, iTrip fit nicely.

Some sad things:

-Even after applying Baby Powder to combat lint it still attracts it when the baby powder wears off.
-belt clip is absolutely useless (sucks if you want to exercise with it).
-packaging that it is shipped it is also crapola- It was in an envelope and the boxes were crushed. The Shades had to be wiped off because it had pieces of black cushioning all over them.
-Belt clip backing was sticking to the back of my iPod, no damage but is a little weird.
-I thought the glow feature would be brighter but it looks like a glow in the dark star you stick on your ceiling.

Hope this helps out.

The belt clip backing is made of rubber so it won't scratch the back of your iPod. But since it is rubber, it will stick to the iPod. Think of it as a way to get the belt clip more secure.

Try sticking the skin under a flourescent light, that should re-juvenate the glow.

Q1: Yes you do get a screen protector and a wheel protector with your order. (I did not know this part so I ordered an extra set of wheel protectors.) You also get a plastic accessory case that incidently also fits the iPod, sometimes when I don't use my iPod on the Reservation or when I go where there's lots of dirt I put my iPod in there.

Q2: Yes, you can remove the belt clip from the front and back. I just discovered this a couple of days ago. It's no biggie but, where the belt clip backing was--the iSkin is a little loose.

I think I got all your questions.

FYI, without the belt clip disc, the evo2 fit fine on my 20gig color ipod. With the disc, it was a little tight, making the edges of the screen opening to become a little loose, but not enough to make a problem of keeping the screen protector on.
BUT that little gap inside where the disc should be might trap some dust through those 2 little holes.
Don't get me wrong, iSkin is the best silicone case I've ever used (DLO Jam Jacket, xSkn LOL)

Just sharing some of my experience with the product with u guys...
