Woot!! Just got my Evo3!! Reveiw and pics!

w/o the visor you wouldn't have anything protecting the screen

 

[Amelie]

yea i got a short question, why would you get something so ugly

 

[Mutnat]

I've been looking into cases, and I keep coming back to this one. But I think the visor looks so stupid...and I'd imagine take away from the overall feel is it absolutely necessary that the visor has to put on?

In addition to the lack of screen protection, you'd have a "loose" edge all the way around where the visor is supposed to be inserted. The soft part of the case has two lips, one that goes against the iPod's face, then the visor sits on that, then the outer lip on top of the visor (although it's flush with the visor as it also has a lip).

It's hard to describe but they are defintiely meant to be used together. You'd have a loose upper lip if that makes any sense. It would fold over whenever you handle the player. It just isn't advisable IMHO.

If you don't want the visor then why not get a basic skin? I know my local Best Buy (and Future Shop--Canadian chain owned by Best Buy) has some basic black and clear skins for the 5G.

PS I think the visor looks better in person than in pictures.

 

[bobert]

the glare from the flash and/or other lighting makes the visor look weird in pictures

 

[lildudejds]

yeah ...the visor really does look good in person, the pics kinda make it look odd...but i guess its not completely necissary...you COULD not put it in there...but like mutnat said...if u dotn want it then go with a different skin that doesnt have one...like most skins...

Hey how does iSkin know your e-mail? I used paypal to pay and they never asked me for my e-mail and I never received an e-mail saying it shipped or anything.

Thanks.

 

[lildudejds]

im not sure, my mom handled all that stuff

what he said

The visor is actually pretty cool looking in person... I like it. Although the case definately attracts lint and stuff, you can always just blow it off. This case is worth it for the excellent protection it offers. I though about canceling my order when I bought it, but I didn't, and I am very happy with my decision.

^^^exactly^^^

 

[hedzup]

thank you So much lildudjds... you have been an amazing help. I've decided NOT to cancel my order... hopefully I won't regret it.

what are the holes in the back for? sorry if this has been asked before.

I'd be worried about dust getting in there and scratching the metal though


but the metal can be repaired with brasso ?

How durable is the belt clip on a scale from 1-10?

The holes in the back are where the posts of the belt clip go through if you use the belt clip. I haven't seen much of anything get in there so far. Because the back of the case includes some small "feet" at all four corners, the back of the case isn't directly sitting on any surface you put the player down on. This should help minimize the problem the holes create.

I've never tried... but the instructions that come with the case have a note that says it's for "casual use only" or something like that (I forget the exact wording), so I'd assume it's not super-strong.

 

[hedzup]

I got mine today!! I really like it too. it is still rather slim. it is the eclipse for my black 30g. You can't see the ipod at all except for the screen, and it fits rather nicely. thanks for all the help I think i've made a good decision in not cancelling my order

It says "for causal use only" because they don't want to be held responsible if you drop your ipod and break it. I think it is actually pretty sturdy, but I don't use it. Maybe in the summer I might.

I got the evo 3 in black. Has anyone else had trouble docking? It is ok with the Universal Dock from apple (after removal of the adaptor) but I got an iHome alarm clock, too, and it simply will not fit in there. This is a problem cause I sort of need to wake up at certain times in the morning. Any cases that are ...well, also really amazing but a little thinner?

 

[iMonster]

Ohh I see..ty for answering, man

Has anyone removed the round belt clip attachment disc from inside the iSkin? I have no use for a belt clip and the two studs that stick out are annoying me a little. The disc says "Do Not Remove." The only negative I can see to doing is this is that it leaves two small holes exposed in the case and dust could get inside. I might try to seal up the holes with something.
