you can try silicone glue.
EDIT: it might not be sticking because its too smooth try creating a rough surface on it and maybe using superglue or krazyglue

Hike?
Buy a PDA cover of the same kind, and cut it to shape. This is done for cell phones all the time.

wait a sec...going to iskin.com and ordering the click wheel is more hassle then sanding down and using silicone cement glue and doing it yourself? :confused:

Try putting it underneath the skin instead of ontop.
