3 Stars They Don’t Tell You Everything
Two major challenges with this or any other similar self-adhesive ipod screen protector products. Assuming you follow instructions to the letter, the result may still disappoint because:

(1) they don’t tell you that you practically need to be in a clean room … any dust collected on the sticking side, however small, means you’ll have a bubble you won’t be able to get rid of. This is compounded by the second challenge,

(2) perfect alignment needs multiple trys … this increase the chance of picking up dust on the sticky side of the protector.

So, if you bought only one protector like I did, chances are very good that you end up w/ annoying bubbles that make you want to throw the protector away.

In summary, either be happy w/ bubbles or you should get more than one protectors so you get multiple cracks at getting this right … then there’s the clean room option.

Just want buyers to be aware. Hope you find this useful.

1 Star ikross lcd screen protector
I ordered the ikross 3-pack screen protector but what I got was a single (1) screen protector from a brand that did not state “ikross” I have not tried to install it yet and debating if I want to hassle a $3 purchase because I did not get what was being viewed from SF Planet.

4 Stars No bubbles
I haven’t tried a huge number of screen covers, but this is the first that didn’t leave bubbles. There is a stiffer plastic on top for application, and if you slowly let the cover down onto the iPod as the glue does it’s magic, there are zero bubbles. I was amazed. It does show smudges a little more than the naked screen, but then again now you can wipe it on anything (even the included tiny microfiber cloth) and not worry about scratching the screen.

5 Stars Perfect to protect your investment!
Easy to apply and once affixed to the screen of your Ipod touch it is hardly visible. Great product at an even greater price. The Ipod touch is unfortunately prone to getting scratches, and this is a small investment to protect your screen for a long time. I will just keep replacing mine for the life of the system. It protects and does not affect the crispness of the picture on the screen. Great product and easy to apply.

4 Stars Overall Satisfactory Purchase
This was fine for me since all I actually needed was the cleaning cloth since I somehow lost mine. The cover was junk though, it didn’t completely fit it was too small and it was ugly the way it didn’t cover the edges. So if your getting this for the cover don’t the cleaning cloth is good just not nearly as good as the one Apple gave me. The major difference is that Apple’s cleaning cloth actually removes the oil/greasiness from the screen and makes it just as when you first opened it; pristinely clean. The iKross version just moves around the oil but gets up anything other than oil. It doesn’t do anything but give it a buffed look in terms of the oil. You have to use water, unlike the Apple version, to remove all of the grease. I’m satisfied with it overall, it does what I need it to do, plus, I don’t mind sprinkling a little water on my iTouch once in a while to completely clean the screen. May think of getting the 3GS since its’ said to not leave fingerprints etc.

News: iLounge reader creates all-wood iPod mini, accessories

Written on June 19th, 2009 by adminno shouts

An industrious iLounge reader has taken an old iPod mini unit and rebuilt it using nothing but natural wood and screws, and has also made matching wooden accessories. Forum member Josh, from Australia, took the guts of his first iPod mini and handmade a new case for the device using Australian red cedar, Camphor Laurel for the working Click Wheel, brass plates, and brass screws—the design requires no glue, and is held together exclusively by…
