If you have an iPhone or any iPod, surely you're protective of it; you don't want to spend that much money on something that's going to get banged around and scratched. Another thing to consider is that since everyone has an iPod these days, it can be really difficult to tell them apart. You don't want to leave it on the counter somewhere and have someone else grab it thinking it's theirs, so the best solution is getting customized skins.
They're an excellent want to reflect your personal style, with so many options to choose from. Skinizi has a huge selection of really funky graphics, as shown in the gallery, including skins for the iPhone and iPod Touch. They also offer a selection of wallpapers which can be downloaded to match the exterior patterns.
Skinizi's plastic coatings protect iPods from scratches (especially important for the Touch variety), they have exclusive prints by well-known artists, they're easy to apply, and when they're removed, they don't leave any residue. All are 14.95 € or $21.67US.
