The Pros & Cons of iSkin Products.

Chances are if you're a Mac user you've got an iPod, or a Keyboard--I sure hope you have a keyboard. And chances are that you own, or have seen at least one of iSkins' many wonderful products. Wonderful as they may be they do have their faults. For starters the iSkin's many iPod covers will degrade the battery if the iPod is charged inside the silicone sleeve. Heat doesn't disapate properly, and that's what zaps the battery. The ProTouch PBKeyboard Cover also has it's faults. In the 15 and 17 inch AluBook models the keyboard is used to vent a fair amount of heat through the keys. The PBCover can restrict the release of hot air and cause the Powerbook to overheat.

I know what all of you are saying. Yes, I too have gotten hair and crumbs beneath my iBook, or Powerbooks keys and that I need some sort of protection. My advice/opinion is make sure your PB is elevated to stay cool. The same goes for the iPod. Charge it in the dock like Apple intended you to.
