[edit] Products
iSkin markets most of its cases as "dual-layered" with an inner silicone layer and harder outer polycarbonate layer. They own the trademark "Si" to describe this "silicone-inside" design.[1]
iSkin's "Shuffle Duo" case, said to be the first "dual-layered" case for the iPod shuffle,[2] was awarded the Best iPod Shuffle Case of 2005 by iLounge.[3]
iSkin has recently focused on the outer appearance of their covers, releasing a variant that showcases illustrations from tokidoki founder Simone Legno. iSkin has also been noted for its glow-in-the-dark covers.[4]
The company has branched out to create covers for a wider variety of products, including "keyboard covers for virtually everything Apple".[5]
