As long as the price is right, people love to add their own custom options to their products. Whether it is new wheels for your car, add-on appliances to your kitchen or iPod skins for your brand new video iPod, there are limitless customization options for nearly any product you can imagine. In the world of Apple iPods though, there are a huge variety of different custom iPod skins available for those who want to give their favorite digital media player that personalized look. Such custom skins range from stick on covers to whole new faceplates which will let your friends and family see your iPod in a whole new light.

The first types of iPod skins cover the existing structure of the iPod and provided added protection to its fragile LCD screen and brittle plastic case. One of the most popular of these products is the Carbon Fiber iPod case. Essentially you buy a package of two laser cut pieces of carbon fiber which you affix to the front and back of your video iPod with the supplied set of four stainless steel screws. Also included in the package is a steel belt clip so you can carry your carbon fiber incased video iPod clipped neatly on your belt or just inside one of your pants pockets. From another company manufacturing iPod skins comes the TuffWrap. This is a skin made from silicone which completely wraps your iPod, leaving only the LCD and the control wheel free. With the TuffWrap you get the protective value of Apple products like their Italian leather case and iPod sock with the ability to still see any videos and control any play lists on your player.

The Iconz line of iPod skins also add some variety to your pedestrian video iPod. These products contain licensed images of famous logos, cartoon characters and sports teams. They slid right onto the iPod and cover everything except for the screen. Although these Iconz products cover the control wheel, you are still able to use it, but unable to see the buttons which say menu, forward, backward and so on.
