eagerly anticipating getting the chance to order one of the lajo 4g skins, i'd love to go for a white one, to detract from the beautiful looks of the ipod as little as possible, just wondered how dirty this really will get? is it easy to clean? how do you clean them? what have people found in general with the quality of material with lajo cases. cheers!

mild dish detergent and water would do a good job at cleaning silicone skins.

I have a Lajo Exo3 Ice skin for my iPod, and I think it's great. The skin is high quality and the fit is excellent. Some people have said that the exo3's in particular are a tad loose around the corners. If you read the review from the lounge, you'll notice they say the same thing, and even have some pics of it. I haven't found this to be a problem at all. Also, there was a thread a bit back on dusting the silicone case with powder to help it go on smoother, or if you dust the outside it improves scrolling and keeps it from attracting too much dirt/dust. I've done this and I must say it works quite well, and because you're only doing a mild dusting with powder and taking off any excess, it's not like you've got powder everywhere. It helps it slide on without too much stretching, so you get a good fit right from the beginning, as opposed to having to wait a bit for it to 'conform' to the iPod.
As for cleaning and all that, you can do mild soap and water as Cold Romance suggested. I think some people take a piece of tape to it to remove some mild dust or dirt, too. It's silicone, so you don't have to worry about it stretching to much or anything like that. It's pretty low maintenance.
Overall, I'm quite happy with my skin.... I ordered a Snow color one during the 50% off sale Lajo just had last week. I'd almost venture to say the skin improves scrolling (if you dust with powder....if you don't it will be a bit 'sticky' but that goes away after a couple of days as well).
