View Full Version : a xskn for 3rd gen review

by the way, this a review of the Lajo product, not the iSkin.com ones.
Thank you very much for your fair review and you are dead on about the current belt clip it has always been a sore spot for me and I recommend that people wait for one of my new clips (4 clips in total). I will be releasing photos of the first new clips called SWVclip on my site by Monday. I have spent a lot of time on the design and the strength of this new clip. It is made for high great plastic and it will offer what the off the shelf clips could not and that is reliability in use as a casual clip. Its functions are: it will swivel so that you can move your ipod to the side when sitting down and it is designed to be used with exo, exo2 and xskn2 and a number of new case that I am coming out with and can be use with other phone cases and pda cases. A low friction Stub like I use my zip will hold it securely to the case and the clasp will securely fasten to your belt because it uses the same principal as the case included with your ipod on purchase. You can expect this clip in December. To make getting my new clip painless I will be giving everyone a $10 coupon which they can use to make a purchase and pay for delivery of this clip. I have over 55,000 exo cases sold now and about 3,000 exo2 so it will mean that we will have a lot of shipping to do but finally I will be satisfied that exo and exo2 will be my design from top to bottom. I should mention that this clip will in a number of solid colors and 2 tone as you know that colors are my thing. This of course will not stop me for working on ways to improve on it and add new cases with different function. The other 3 new clips will fill 3 voids that the swivel clip cannot fill. All of these clips will become part of my exo and xskn growing line of accessories. I should mention that the loop on the side of the case will soon have a must have accessory but I have to leave a few surprises so I will let you keep on guessing what it will be.

Once agagin.... Wow Lajo you've been very busy. This new clip seems good. I also cant wait for this must have accessory that the loop uses. Same with these surprises.
I have been getting a lot of heat because my site does not have go pictures of the 50 exo, exo2 etc colors. This is one of the photos going up on the site. I would appreciate your opinions will this type of photo in easy accessed, user-friendly site do the job?
i tried being as objective as I could when I wrote the review, but I hafta say, this being my first glow in the dark skin, I just love it :p.
I wish I could write like you

Thanks for the review. #### you need a new digital camera. ;)
Don't worry, when I get mine (Hopefully Friday, if not, Monday) I will also write out a review and post pictures of the Sky Dance I ordered. To see a sample of my digital camera check out http://sfne.com/includes/news/101303/03.jpg.
As a matter of interest, do you know what color iShade you shipped with the Sky Dance eXo2's, Lajo? I hope its clear but if its not it can survive without it. :)
Lajo, you know one thing I think would be great. If you made a Blackberry (it's a business cell phone/pda type device) cover. All my co-workers have loved the ipod skins and would love to get something similar for a blackberry. Just thought I'd mention it :p might be another thing you might wanna pursue when you start making covers for other devices (if you do).

Regarding the review, do you know that you can sync your iPod by just plugging the cable into it without the dock? I would much rather do that than remove the case.

Yes
Thanks about the information about Blackberry. I saw their ads in Hong Kong so I could easily buy one. Don?t introduce your friends yet until the key program is activated and you have you key. I will help them to save money and for you to make money and a like bit of mad money helps these days.
I am currently making a sync solution that will work for the exo and exo2 that will allow you to use you?re the iPod docking station without removing the exo/2 case. Lets face it who wants to remove the case or stretch the skin to create a sync solution? Both of these methods are not acceptable for me. My solution should work with Jam Jacket, Aqua Jacket and of course it will work with my exo and my exo2. This is part of my plan to build the accessory line to compliment my exo/2 line. I just came back from the factory that will supply one of the components for the exodock.
Here is a bit of an update I am starting to new make products for Sony starting with the Sony Erricson phone they PDA Clie and then the hand and lap top computers.and for game boy just to list a few.

That exodock thing sound awsome. Will it be a separate dock cover or toatlly separate dock? Any idea on when it will be ready for sale?
I am trying to get it out this month, again because of the competition I have to hold back on design info until the mold is nearly completed and ready to produce.

Hey nick, I'm from Edmonton too. What case are you using now? Where'd ya get it from? There's no stores around here that sell any good iPod accessories.
electra will give you good reason to buy stock

Can you say if the new dock is solid, or if is just a silicone replacement cover for the regular dock? Also, if it is a new dock, please make sure it has a LINE-OUT jack on it. That is the #1 feature that people want the dock for nowadays.

Yes, please say that its white plastic just like the current dock, only with dimensions allowing the XSkn to fit. I really love the dock and the only reason I got it was for line out.
Also, will it be less than $10 so we can use that key thing on it?

Yes thats true, no good stores. But right now im using an exo from lajo.biz and i bought a speck flipstand from west world computers. They also sell them at future shop and best buy. As for accessories the best place is probably apple canada's online store.
The dock accessory will be solid

can't wait for the new dock, im always parinoid when using it with the top off as all pressure is put on the connector. What would be good is for the stand to extend up a bit so that the back of the ipod rested on it, sort of like the old ipod stands.
