I never liked the look of my silver istick 20w for the same reason. The black looks great and so does the blue. I made a vinyl wrap for the silver one that improved the look a lot. Course now it's got a sillycone skin on it.View attachment 465806

I've been looking for a really nice woodgrain skin for an istick 20W - where'd you get this (that you made) from? is 'sillycone' the brand/source or a funny comment? haha (?silicon?) I could take all that gibberish out, but then again, you'll all be 70 some day and might like to watch how the old brains function! LOL basically I love that woodgrain skin! cherry?

I got an email today from jwraps. Fathers day coupon code: "father25". 25% off of all wraps (skins).
These wraps are real nice quality Nancy. You may have to do a little bit of searching for what you want on their site though. :)

You are correct, it's cherry:thumbs: I have most of a roll left. It's like contact "paper" but it's not as sticky as regular contact paper so it comes off without leaving any glue.

If you want some, I'll send you a few pieces. The dimensions are 85mm X 71mm.

No, it's not hard to put on. If you don't get it straight, you can take it off and try again. Like I said, it's not super sticky like duck tape. A roll of this is only about $5 and it's like 18" X 15' long so it's dirt cheap for a situation like this.

You can buy it at any store that sells home furnishings like Walmart, Home Depot, Menard's etc. They don't usually have a lot of variety though.

Amazon has hundreds of different styles and colors. Like this Amazon.com - Con-Tact Brand Covering Contact Paper, Cherry Wood Grain Design - Shelf Liners

Yup. It was The Bike that coined the phrase "silly-cone". I fergit how he spelled it though, 'n' I'm too lazy to search.

I got a couple of the Eleaf ones for when I bought my last 30. $2 each at Rocky Mountain Vapor. I kinda like 'em. Nice feel and just grippy enough. No problem with pockets - guess some of you have tight pants.

I bought a white one to cover my scratched-up silver 20. Big mistake. The scratches show right through it - almost looks worse than without the cover. Ended up putting the black one on my silver 20 and the white one on my black 30. I like the look of the stock black iStick finish though, so I may go back to running it nekkid. May buy another black case if I have a chance to piggy-back it on another order somewhere. IMO the black cover has a classy look to it.

Only problem I've had is that it sometimes makes the USB connection on my 30 a bit touchy/iffy.
