i just had a thought, as the exo skins attract alot of dust and hair and the new exo3 fits in the apple case but is hard to slide in and out, if you sprayed the case with hairspray would it make the outter skin less dust attractive and a but slidier (donno if thats a word)???
Has anyone tried this?
Uh... I doubt it. Hairspray is normally stickyish.

WD-40 might also work, cuz I hear if you spray it on a snowshovel, snow doesnt stick to the shovel
if you spray WD-40 on an iskin, would it do the same and not have dust and hair stick to it?

Well, WD-30 is pretty messy stuff (oily). I wouldn't spray it on any iPod case, but give it a try if you're really curious. I'd wipe off any excess prior to handling the case though.

yea, Im too chicken to try it, but it would be nice if somebody took a chance at doing it
well actually, you could just wash the case off if it got to oily.

lol You guys are nuts. I would NEVER do something like that! Think about what you're saying... A (might I say) "toxic", sticky lubricator on a CASE!? hoy... Just buy something different than a silicon case and you won't have the problem.

I also doubt hairspray would be good. What about a very thin layer of clear nail polish? I know that would make it more slick, and I think it would probably help the case not to attract dust, but I don't know if it would crack or peel or look weird.

i've never tried this but they make anti-static clothes spray, you should try spraying the ipod, and most computer stores carry "anti-static" spray or towelettes for electronics, you might want to try that too
