This is probably the best iPod case that I have owned. By far, the most intelligent design is the belt clip itself which features a rather clever plastic locking mechanism that is easy to lock/unlock yet rugged enough to stand up to day-to-day use.
The case itself is made of thick silicone, but with pores on the back of the iPod for heat dissipation. While I can't comment on whether or not the pores actually work to the degree as advertised, I do have to admit that it's a testament to the designers who clearly understand the operational characteristics of the iPod itself; having an iPod overheat is NOT a good thing for the unit and the battery.
The screen protector is probably the best fit that I have ever seen in a case which utilizes a built-in silicone lip on the case itself and uses a raised silicone nub to keep it from sliding around. It's scratch resistant, so I'm hoping that it will have a longer life then the Belkin case that I had which experienced a scratch on day one.
Only 2 minor complaints:
1. The entire case covers the iPod (except for the small pores on the back) including a flap that covers the docking port. The iSkin website advertises that it can fit in the Apple Universal dock. This is true, but I found that it works only if you remove the 5th generation template (in the universal dock) for the 80 GB iPod AND if you tuck the sleeve back into the case. IT STILL WORKS, but I was hoping that it would be a little easier than this.
2. The hold button is completely covered. It is still usable as there is a raised protrusion for using the hold button, but it's a little finicky at first. Once you get the hang of placing the right pressure through the silicone, it's fairly easy to use it from that point forward.
All in all, a good case with some minor issues. I would highly recommend it.

It does its work, but there's a rubber covering over the menu wheel...I cut that rubber coating and now the design is much improved...
Suits my needs great. [Posted on 2008-04-09]
I am really happy with this cover. It feels very protective while still leaving the iPod accessible for use. Looks nice too, protects the screen. Works for me!
iSkin EVO Review [Posted on 2008-05-20]
I don't need to give you all a long-winded review. I purchased a cheap, thin silicon skin and should have stepped up to this from the get-go. This product fits perfectly and works as advertised. While it does make the iPod slightly bulkier, the protection this skin provides is more than worth it. Just buy it!

I'm happy with my purchase after several months of usage. The only thing is the fact that you have to remove part of the case if you want to use the sound/video cable. But, I can live with it.
