The iron skin ability is listed as granting a +2 armor bonus for 10 minutes.
Normally I would say like bonuses do not stack. Iron skin's failure to stack would render the ability worthless.
Mage armor grants a +4 armor bonus, works vs incorporeal attacks and has a duration measured in hours instead of minutes.

And the pfs question in relation to this topic is...?
Is my interpretation correct and they gave the class an ability that has no value, or am I reading something wrong?
I am setting a character up for PFS and am debating specialization. If the ability works the way I am reading it, I can take a conjuration specialist, use my bonus spell slot for mage armor, and have a class ability that actually does something.
If I am wrong in my interpretation, the extra +2 AC might actually help me stay alive, especially at low levels where wizards are most vulnerable.
Iron Skin does not stack with Mage Armor.
However, Iron Skin is a supernatural ability that scales to caster level (not wizard level). This has quite a few advantages.
