Oh wow that's cool but isn't that trademark dilution? Just watch when the allmighty Apple finds out about this lawsuits are going to start to fly. Sorry if I'm a pessimist but Apple policies are fascist.

...i don't know about their policies...but apple products are a dream to use...
...and if they don't go with that little idea, they would be simply shooting themselves in the BIG toe....
...again...

These are damn cool! I was all about it up until I read the thing won't fit in the dock after the skin is placed :(

Cool Jon! I would like to see a bigger image of what it looks like "in action", though. And I want one for my black iRiver H120 (it definitely needs a nicer skin/case than the one you get when you buy it) :perv:

I'd want one, but I think my iPod has just started showing the dreaded symptons of a defective battery, +/- 1 yr old.

Yours is the best looking one on there. Not fair that they got a naked girl on there... that's just cheating.
I'd personally become a professional hustler and sell em on the street.

...I dunno about that...but I'm probably one of the very few artists who don't like using a Mac :D
Still an Ipod with Mr Foster's artwork as a skin loooks brilliant.

that is so awesome foster... makes me want to get one of those devices for the awesome art cover :)
Lapalida: I think they've already been in contact with apple http://www.macskinz.com/MACSKINZ/story.html
I would imagine that its all taken care of as far as legalities go, just a guess, but they seem to have everything straight. Understand your concern though.

glad you guys checked it out. can't explain why this makes me so happy. what is going on in my life that such commercialism can put a smile on my face? i don't know, but it's a little box with my painting on it! that is just cool! of course i could make little paintings on blocks of wood but somehow that just is not the same. is it the plastic? hmmm, no. it is the fact that people i do not know will have that little image with them as they go about their day. so cool!

...I know plenty of artist who hate macs...and so have opted for a p.c.
...and I've met people who hate p.c.s and love macs....
...I've go to admit the only time I used a P.C. I found it to be a nightmare...sometimes when I dragged the windows across the screen they would leave trails...the files were hard to find...and to turn the damn thing off you need to click on the start button...? eh?... I supose I'm just used to macs and so prefer them...

I read the article... and I'm not suprised... apple have never liked outside influences when it comes to their design... this is their biggest problem, and why p.c.s (which are easily customised) have became much more popular amongst the majority....Bang!... apple shoot themselves in the toe again....
...I still prefer their products.... but could be based on the fact that I hate windows...

You must have used someone's really clogged down Windows 9x system :bashful:
There is no problem using Windows XP today if you have the slightest idea of what you're doing. If you don't know what you're doing, you shouldn't be doing it ;) Windows don't leave trails...Files aren't hard to find as long as you don't try to save everything on the Desktop or in My Documents...And you don't have to use the start button to turn it off as long as your mainboard has the functionality to send a signal to your OS that it is supposed to shut down.

...it was supposedly a good machine...
...If I don't know what I'm doing I shouldn't be doing it???!!!...I'm an artist not a computer wizzz... a computer should be a user freindly tool, which meets the requirments of the user not the other way round!!...I've never had any problem using a mac (whether it be OS 9 or otherwise)...that's a computer...I haven't got the time to piss about with my operating system!!!...nor will I trust any old kind of hardwear with my precious work...so go away before I bite your lil' worm arse <3 ...

Just have to say I recieved mine, slapped it on in 5 minutes, and it is DELICIOUS. Looks absolutely fantabulous. Mine is the blue Ragnar one, 2/100 :). I'll post some pictures if thats okay, it is really an amazing product used to accessorize your accessories, so I have to show it off :). Love it so much, thanks Foster and Ragnar!
