Gelaskins Backwoods Skin

Keep a variety of your family of iPods, from the nano to the iPhone, safe and stylish with the Gelaskins Backwoods Skin ($16) designed by artist Scott Saw. His designs have a ‘romantic gothic’ look to them, as seen in this serene scene of feeding deer, which reside on a floating and solitary chunk of land. Cute and disconcerting at the same time, I like it! Also, the iPod skins come with a window protector to defend against annoying screen scratches. [buy it]
