I need some help deciding on which case to get for my 10gb and my 15 gb. I've narrowed it down to these two. Vaja i-Vod or iSkin EVO. I would like everybodys opinion. anything helps.

The i-Vod looks great, but I've heard it scratches the iPod. I like my eVo, it's a lot cheaper, and very durable.

yes yes i do read the story behind that under ipod stories. the topic is named apple screw up.
ive got an iskin evo. I am pretty happy with it, but it is a pain how much it attracts lint/hair. I wouldnt say that the price is worth it for the evo as it is pretty expensive. Maybe the i-vod is worth its price since it is quite nice and looks to be made of a nicer material. Im not sure how much shock protection the i-vod would offer, but from the looks of it, it would handle a drop better than the iskin.

Well, I own both the Vaja and iSkin cases! I like the Vaja case much more than the iSkin:
It is much easier to remove the iPod from the Vaja case and the screen protector does not have to be placed on the iPod separately.
The Vaja case offers unrestricted access to the top of the iPod (for connecting iTrip or iTalk).
The Vaja case does not attract lint and dust.
The Vaja case is attractive and made of quality leather.
I have not had any problems with the Vaja case scratching the iPod---but the iPod does fit rather tightly in this case. Maybe the scratching will start up soon. I hope not.
The Vaja case is not that much more expensive if you order a basic color from the Apple store (black, red, or white). I ordered the black one for $49 and had it in two days.
I also like the iSkin case...just not nearly as much as the Vaja case...so I recently sold it on eBay.
I hope this helps.
