Agent 18 or Crystal Jacket?

[Crustol]

Which is better, the Agent 18 Shield 4 Nano 3-piece (no rating by iLounge) or Power Support Crystal Jacket (A- by iLounge)? I hear that A18 2-piece is good, but with the Crystal Jacket, you also get the flim set which provides better protection. Both are $20

I have had my Agent 18 Shield (3-piece version) for months now and I just love it to death. I can only imagine how my iPod would look by now without it. Scratch-o-rama for sure. The case itself gets a tad scratched up, but it takes far more to scratch it than the actual nano. I have a black nano and I think it looks fine in the case. It is rugged and protected while still be pleasing to the eye and functional. No problem whatsoever seeing the screen or using the wheel. The only thing I would caution about (with the 3 piece version) is if you are going to use the Apple radio remote, be careful when you pull the plug out. I had been using the standard headphones with no problem. I take them out/I put them in. Nothing out of the ordinary. But the other day I splurged and bought the Apple radio remote and it uses the larger docking plug for the output. When I went to pull it out, it actually pulled the bottom part of the case off and yanked my ipod down out of the case. Not good. Now I make sure to hold the whole party together when I take the plug out.

Other than that - I highly recommend it.

keep in mind that the body is frosted on the agent 18 one, the iSee may be a better choice if you want it completely clear...

or if you want a belt clip

I have the Agent 18 which I absolutely love. Before this, I had an iSkin Duo and I really wasn't keen on it. I asked for some advice on the forums and everyone seemed to say to go with the Agent 18. It was the right choice - it really is a great case.

I haven't had any problems with my Agent18... got a MacCally protective film to make sure it doesn't get scratched inside and it also protects the click wheel.

the new version of the agent18 shield's are frosted? i thought the newer versions were clear

[VipFREAK]

I got mine in Jan. It's frosted, I don't mine it. I like it a lot though.

The second version is lightly frosted apart from the screen.

I've also been looking at both of these and of course, looks is important. I have a hard metal case and a silicone one, but want a clear hard plastic one...

What does everyone think about the new iShok nano case???
