I purchased an Agent 18 case for my new nano and an incase leather sleeve. now i'm thinking of getting invisibleshield/bestskinsever and either returning one of the cases or exchanging the Agent 18 for the clear Griffin case.

Anyone have opinion on the Agent 18 vs. the Griffin clear hard case. I figure if I have the Invisible Shield skin on the iPod I no longer need a hard case and can just use the incase leather sleeve i got if i need a belt clip otherwise go caseless?

I'm just not happy with any of the cases out there. The incase is nice but the screen protector is horrible cheap plastic and the case doesn't give good coverage. The Agent18 is frosted plastic and clear in weird places and comes apart easily and will probably scratch the back. I didn't like the iskin DUO. the griffin leather elan hard case is kinda nice but again doesn't really give coverage. invisibleshield is cool but i don't like the glossy look or the fact that the click wheel will not be as tactile.

I already have fingerprints and oil on the back of my ipod that won't come off (haven't used soap/water yet).

yeah but that doesn't protect the click wheel either, people said there are issues getting their orders, and i have a black nano so i'd order the black biscuit but i don't want a smoke/tinted screen plus pics make it look like the whole thing scratches and gets fingerprints easily.

I like my crystal biscuit quite a bit. I've twice from Switcheasy without any problems.

Just so you know, the Griffin iClear has a frosted back. I bought one last month when I saw it at a store, but of course I couldn't see the back of the case when it was in the package, and I incorrectly assumed the entire thing would be clear.

I don't mind the frosted back now that I have it, but it wasn't what I expected.
