I usually just put a big knife flat over them and hit it. That breaks the bond with the skin. But it tends to smash them a bit.

I've also seen where you put the cloves in a colander with a plate over it and shake vigorously and it knocks the skins right off. I've never done it myself, but it would be worth trying.
