iSkin Mini or Lajo Exo Mini

[Scotty476]

I am about to order a skin for my mini and am having trouble deciding which one to get. Which do people prefer, the iskin brand or lajo's exo brand? I plan on getting one without the wheel cover and one with. So which do you think is better the exo2 or the exo3? Thanks

It looks to me like that Lajo Exo 3 is pretty nice. I am trying to decide which one I want. What does the rear ot the exo look like though? Is it just flat or is there a clip? Anybody know?

I'm also trying to decide between the two. The lajo is cheaper but some say its crap. We need an extensive review of both.

i am also torn between the two!!!! just look at how beautiful the lajo exo 3 looks though!! at the same time, iskin provides superior protection (minus- a wheel cover protector) and the swivel belt clip looks awesome!

well i bit on the lajo exo3 case. ordered the indigo one as it seems to finally be in stock. ill give u a review on it asap.

[hitcarl]

i'm going for the lajo case as well; i'm fully aware of people's disdain for the man, his business method, and in a few cases, his products, his website, etc.

but i like how the eXo3mini is only 0.7mm thick and covers the scroll wheel. it's personal preference, but i don't like the iskin's design, namely the grip bumps and all of the other flourishes. the lines aren't clean, and though those elements may be attractive to many, i just happen to appreciate the form of the lajo case.

the $9.50 price tag doesn't hurt, as i've already invested a lot of money in this little machine.

perhaps his website is inadequate, and maybe he's not the most wonderful communicator in the world, but i know two people who've ordered from him without a hitch, and so i figured i'd give lajo and his eXo3 a chance for myself.

does the lajo exo 3 protect the screen? if so, im sold. wtf are you lajo to reply to this thread???

[Asian_N02]

You have to buy the "iShade" from his website. That is the protector for the screen. The Lajo case looks like it covers the wheel though. Whoever is doing the review, please provide pics!!! I cannot wait to see the review. If it looks like what I think it will...I am sold!

[sparhawk6]

What is UP with Lajo's website? It is really horrible. I can't stand going there. Tiny, tiny microscopic fonts (I'm at 1600 x 1200) with tiny pictures and links that are broken and don't work. There is no organization. They really need to fix that, it frustrates me beyond belief.

then dont go. duh

I go because their product interests me, from what I can tell from the LAME little pictures. I don't go there for entertainment, I just go so I can get some info on their product and think about buying it. But I can't even get that.

[dietrite]

there's too many cases to choose from! i am leaning more towards the iskin mini (indigo) those new pics are beautiful! it has everything lajo's case's have (except wheel protection as of now). plus it has that awesome clip that swivels.

edit: deleted ignorant remark

[Haroldo]

i really want the iskin mini. =D

[DaMan8946]

get the exo3skin mini because it doesnt increase the mini size that much

i mean if u get that big fat i-skin case it'll be about as big as a 10 gb ipod 3 gen (possibly 15)

besides it provides a wheel cover (chances are u are gonna get that wheel scratched or totalled before u even drop the thing, like it get scratched up when u pocket it)

[DaMan8946]

even better, get both and put exo3 on bottom

edit: sorry daman

[DaMan8946]

hey hey i know that it sounds dumb but if you first put on the exo3, then u put on the iskin, it might fit. It double as shock protection and wheel protection

[Asian_N02]

It makes sense, but is not practical. One case should suffice...it's the shock of impact that could damage the mini...even if it has a protective cover.

[dietrite]

it wouldn't fit together properly.

Which one is the thinnest?

The exo3mini is the thinest.

For those who like the swivel clip of the iSkin mini, but like the exo3mini you may be interested in Lajo's TwistClip. It's not just a clip like the iSkin mini, but rather like Apple's belt clip (holster + clip), but it's of course twistable.

[dietrite]

would the twistclip fit onto the exo3mini? i see that it's attached to a exomini fb (flatback)

[mshell]

I don't think the Twistclip fits the exo3mini. It doesn't mention it in their little picture thing.


I am completely torn between the two. :(
