Need help deciding which case is best for my needs

[laxattackdog]

I am currently looking for a case that is thin, doesn't scratch alot (or is easy to fix scratches with brasso or one of those cleaners), and gives me good protection for my black 30GB iPod. I'm not worried about drops as much as I'm worried about protecting the screen. I am worried that my backpack will get kicked or something or it will get hit while it's in my pocket. My friend's screen on his 4G recently broke and now it has a big blue-ish streak through it and I don't want anything like this to happen to mine.

Here's my list of cases (feel free to add) and what I have heard about them.

Agent18-
Pros: Sturdy, Dockable (but I don't have a dock)
Cons: Looks better on white, screen scratches easily

iSee-
Pros: Sturdy, Looks really nice on black iPod
Cons: Scratches maybe?

Crystal Jacket-
Pros: Looks nice on Black iPod
Cons: Not as sturdy as iSee and Agent18? Scratches.

ExtremeMac Microshield-
Pros: Looks nice, Dockable?
Cons: Top and Bottom completely exposed, Scratches?

Speck See-Thru
Pros: Looks nice, comes with 3 cases
Cons: Scratches? Cheaply made? I'd never use the red one.

Core Case-
Pros: Thin and protective
Cons: Headphone port too small. Too tight. Screen scratching.

Contour Showcase-
Pros: Very protective and nice looking
Cons: Bulky maybe? Scratching maybe?

Ebay Clear cases-
Pros: Cheap, Look pretty good
Cons: Haven't heard much about these. Cheaply made?

Out of these cases which do you think is best for my needs? I already have a protective film in case that makes a difference. Thanks.

Showcase...and yet---
my friend who owns the 4G showcase says it attracts lint quite a bit. And yes--a bit bulky.
The Agent18 also looks quite good. It may be better suited to your needs.
