I’m making an executive decision: today is NOT going to suck. It’s going to be a good day. I will be surprised and pleased at the power of a positive attitude. Thus has NNR decreed.
To start off, I would like to discuss the iWrap I got recently for my 80-GB iPod Classic. I got it more than a week ago, but I have been trying to decide whether I liked it or not. I’ve decided I do like it. It takes a while for the wrap to stick correctly to the iPod—thus my waffling. This stuff is like bullet-proof Saran Wrap that precisely fits your device. They send you magic spray stuff that you spray on your fingers, the wrap, and the iPod so that you can position it correctly and not have it stick to your fingers.
The application was an unmitigated pain in the butt. I was really careful, and I still ended up with the back panel a little off. I couldn’t scoot it up to where the corner pieces didn’t stick out a little. However, it turns out that this is no big deal. The sticky-outy parts have kind of melded down into the iPod after multiple days riding around in my pocket.
I bought the iWrap because my iPod looked so cool that I hated keeping it hidden in a case yet didn’t like tossing it in with stuff that might scratch it, which includes…pretty much everything. I like being able to just carry it around without a big bulky case. REALLY like it. The iWrap film has settled down and worked out a few tiny bubbles it had, so the screen is fab and glossy (with no scratches!).
Yeah…me and my iPod, we got a real good thing, and the iWrap is a good way to keep the iPod pristine. Unless I have one of my small strokes and hurl it on the floor, as I tend to do with mechanical pencils into which I have just installed new leads…
Ok I am soon purchasing an Ipod Nano which will of course need a protective shell of some sort. What is your long term review of this stuff?
I really like the iWrap. The plastic did settle down after a few days as promised, with no bubbles. The iWrap is definitely tough stuff. I like being able to haul around my iPod without worrying about scratching it, and I like not having a bulky case. I’d like the iWrap better if it cost less, but I think that considering most cases cost that much or more it’s worth it.
