decal girl, skinit products have serious problem

I have used one of skin from skinit.com for two weeks. today, I tried to peel off front, back cover. I was shock that there were serious sticky cling on the surface. especially in front of nano, it was taken serveral minutes to clean off. fortunately I had icleaner, another ipod cleaner (my nano has no scratch at all now). so it was really worked nice which I used it for other my ipods.
anyway, I am so disappointed with this skin product. the company said that there will be no sticky cling after peel off. but it was not true. don't buy any skin from decalgirl.com, skinit.com. your nano will be screw even though it's look good.

I gonna buy agent18 nano case. it will be released October 12th.

actually I have used this case for all my ipods. it is really good, left no scratch, no problem. honestly that was the first time to buy some skin product. at that time, there was no case yet.

I had used the InvisibleShield product and removed it from my nano and it left some spots of adhesive that were not real easy to remove, so any and all comments regarding user experiences with these film products is very welcome (imho)

This isn't a "serious problem"!
It doesn't harm your Nano, and you cleaned it off, no problem.

maybe there was a certain factor that makes the adhesive transfer from skin to ipod like heat or too much pressure(just guessing)

no, this is not a serious problem, but you have to be careful removing the residue left over

I agree fwdepot!

With that in mind, in addition to the $200-$249 you spend on the Nano, you also absolutely must invest in some scratch removal cream ($7-$35) along with a case.
