iPod Skins - Bringing Back The Cool

Whenever a new product is introduced to the consuming public with the almost overnight success that accompanied the introduction of the Apple iPod, it is, for awhile enough just to have that product. But when the initial novelty of iPod ownership wore off, because everybody seemed to own one, the cool cachet which accompanied IPod ownership lost a little of its dazzle as well.

And while no iPod’s owner would dream of doing with without his or her wonder toy for a single day, finding a way to replace the cool diminished by its popularity became almost as essential as getting their iPods in the first place. And Apple, seeing the problem, introduced various accessories which would allow their customers the opportunity to reintroduce the cool factor to their iPods.

iPod Skins As iPod Transformers
iPod skins have become one of the most popular devices in the iPod cool accessories universe. iPod skins, as their name suggests, are form-fitting iPod covers which transform the appearance of the standard IPod casing into the color and pattern of your choice, making your iPod different from any other in the iPod universe.
There are so many choices for custom iPod skins that no iPod owner needs to settle fro a duplicate. Custom iPod skins are available in everything from adhesive-backed stick-ons to complete faceplates.

Types Of iPod Skins
One of the most popular iPod skins is the silicon wrap, which envelops the entire iPod except for its control wheel and screen. The silicon iPod skin is a great alternative to the IPod sock and leather cases which Apple offers, because neither of them allows access to the control wheel or screen.

Another of the early iPod skins was the carbon fiber iPod [http://www.knowipods.com/Articles/Ipod_Skins.php] package, which contained two pre-cut pieces of black carbon fiber to be attached to the front and back of the iPod with the four screws included in the kit. The carbon fiber iPod skin also contains a belt clip.

Those who would like to adorn their iPods with a pop culture look can get on of the iPod skins from Iconz, which offer images of Batman, Superman, the Simpsons, and Tweety Bird, among others. And on the other end of the iPod skins spectrum, for those who want to keep their iPods undercover in the boardroom, is the Marware CEO Classic iPod skin.

The CEO Classic iPod skin is a dual covered leather case; the top cover will cover the interior one, which allows screen and control access. The CEO Classic iPod skin will provide cover for those who do not want their fellow workers to know they are carrying an iPod, and its outer cover even has a pocket in which to store business cards.
