View Full Version : iSkin help: Frost, Ice or Snow?
Could you guys advice me on wich color looks better? I want to retain the original look as much as posible.
I want to get the 2 for 1 special. Second choice is Asphalt.
Also, what is the best place to order from, for US shipping?
Thanks.

I prefer the Ice skins , try here http://www.lajo.biz/iskin/ :)
Thanks Aspect,
Does the Ice show air bubbles or does it look clear? I was considering the Frost guessing it would look more uniform, but I've never seen one in real life so your opinions are of great value to me.
I want to order ASAP, so talk to me guys... :p

I had the same difficulty trying to decide between ICE and FROST. The pics at iskinworld are GREAT.
I ended up getting a Frost and I love it. :)

Let's see, the ice is almost clear, not quite but almost. The frost is like a milk carton, tranlucent with a white tint. Snow is solid white. I have all three, I was lucky enough to receive them free from Lajo. If you do a search on this forum you should be able to find some pictures. My personal favorite of the three is snow.
Hope this helps.
Aspect, God bless your helpful soul :)
I had already seen the pics @ iSkinworld and the ice looks really nice.
sescob: yes yes, real life-in your hand-opinions is what I seek.
I'm leaning towards the frost as well. Is good to know you're happy with it. Thanks!
dmarcus48 (Lucky you, got all 3.
We posted at the same time, lol ... Your descriptions help a lot.
So I have 1 vote frost, 1 vote ice and 1 vote snow :eek: :D

I also prefer frost. I think it looks a little more classy than the Ice, which is just plain "clear". I always thought that stuff like that looked cheap; I never liked the clear phones and the clear MP3 players, etc. The Frost looks pretty good, imo.

I had the ice and the frost. Thinkdifferentstore.com sent me the ice instead of the frost I ordered and I ended up selling it on eBay. I like the frost much better though...

my vote is for frost...it's the perfect balance between clear and white
i think the ice is a bit milky, like they were trying to make it clear but just couldn't do it.
Thank you all for the help.
I'll go with frost and asphalt.
I can't wait for the smelly-sticky things to arrive :D

BTW Lajo.biz is the best place to order from. Even though they are in China, it only took 3 days to get to Michigan the two times I ordered.
Good color choices BTW.

I have the Snow eXo, I prefer the solid colour rather than having some opacity like the Frost and Ice.
There are some great images and user feedback in the thread below

Hope it helps (I know, they're a little blurry)
Edit: links fixed
Aspect, I didn't want to go against your advice, but my first impresion on Ice is that it would show bubbles and oil marks inside. I also think that since no 2 cases are exactly equal some people may be getting that foggy look Mr. E. Mann talks about.
The Frost seems to be a compromise, the slight tint may help the clean look I'm trying to achieve. (what do I know, I'm guessing here) :p
And the Snow may look really nice, but its similar (and opposite) to asphalt, so for the sake of variety I'm going for Frost.
Thanks all for contributing to my decision, all the links and reviews made things mc Clear to me.
bennok: I couldn't access those links :(

Thanks bennok for fixing the links. Now I know what to expect when I get mine.
Please don't vote for Ice anymore, 'cause I'm getting frost... oops

I am thinking of getting the frost one, but I am going to wait a few weeks to see what new comes out.
I already have 2 scratches on my iPod :(
sailgreg, but right now they have the 2 for 1 special.
That's why I ordered mine. I really wanted a Vaja, but I figured getting 2 cases with all accesories for $30 is not a bad deal.
I can keep my pod safe while I make up my mind on the luxury-cases. Just a thought.

I disagree with Infamouschitlin. Frost or Snow are the way to go - I like Frost.

After comparing both frost and ice in the real world (not just infront of the desk, but out in the sun, ect.) I prefer the ice. To me the frost just looks well... fake. I'm aware that the ice is supposed to be clear and so it is actually the fake one, but I dont like the way the frost covers up the ipod compared to the ice. Just my opinion of course.
