Lets quickly run through the features of the XSKN eXo Mask:

  • 2mm silicone provides skin tight protection for your iPhone
  • Full access to all iPhone controls without removing it from the case
  • Comes with touch/play through screen protection and bonus icaps (silicone ear bud caps)

“How do you find the XSKN eXo Mask?”

Here’s some recent feedback received when we asked customers that question.

“I haven’t had any issues with the cover.

I guess it does detract a little from the Apple design which is sleek and attractive; but the only way around that would be to go for the clear hard plastic cases which will protect it from scratches but probably not the best if you dropped it from a height.

Phone funtionality remains the same, so no problems there.

Overall, the best thing is that for a reasonable cost I’m more comfortable that I’m not going damage my iPhone if I drop it – given I’ve signed up for a 24mth plan.”

“I am very happy with the service and the product.

The black on white silicone iPhone skin preserves the look and feel of the phone without spoiling the original 16gb white beauty, giving it a robust skin that gives me confidence in the harshest environments.

The iPhone is a jewel that requires care!”

Increasing handset prices ALREADY

It was recently annouced that the industry had more iPhone Telco competition, with Vodafone onboard, Telstra reducing their data prices and Three offering iPhone SIM starter packs.

Now Optus has made the choice to increase their handset pricing to all new contract customers – however slightly.

How to win over new customers?

Presumably the new customers are many who have been on their waiting list?

With the dust (aka iPhone frenzy) starting to settle just a wee bit, aren’t those consumers still to convert over to an iPhone, going to be the ones who perhaps do even more homework than those who just wanted it anyhow and anyway on 11 July?

An interesting move Optus, given the press their data speeds and reception has received of late too.

My Thoughts?

Go with Vodafone

“Are you going overseas?”

Doesn’t it seem a little ironic that China are allowed to make the Apple iPhone, but not yet legally buy it there?!

Chinese consumers have to resort to asking any travelling family, friends and work collegues to buy the iPhone and take it back home to China for them. With instructions all over the net for how to unlock an iPhone, this makes the black market a viable one.

Some estimates indicate 40 percent of all “unlocked” iPhones are in China, according to telecoms consultancy BDA.

However, the Apple iPhone craze is certainly not new in China. They have been bringing them in since the 1st generation iPhone. Even if at that stage, most of it’s functions didn’t even work.

So, it’s good news perhaps that Apple and China Mobile are reportedly finalising talks for the iPhone. Given that China Mobile is the world’s largest service provider, I imagine that will help Apple realise (and maybe even surpass) their goal of 10M handsets in 2008.

Apple big wig, Steve Jobs has said he expects to reach a deal with China this year, and that obstacles that Apple has to overcome has to do with “regulatory bodies.”
