The iSkin is thin, but not as thin as the Radtech sleeve. The sleeve is more like a really thin sock that fits tightly over the iPod. Think of an eyeglass cleaning cloth. It's about that thin. The iSkin is thicker, and a good way to think about it is that it makes the 20GB about as thick as an uncased 40GB. That's just a rough comparison.

Does it provide the same protection as the iSkin, With regards to scratches?
I know that being thiner would be less protection for something like a drop, but I just want to avoid all the scratch.
Thanks,

Yeah it protects really well from scratches, as it's soft and gentle on the iPod, and protects all surfaces except the top.

i'm really interested in getting one of these, just have a couple of questions (if anyone can answer them), does the fabric material get dirty easily? and does the skin fit really snugly/is it easy to remove when needed? thanks a lot

Take a look at this review for the 3g version of the sleeve:
http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/podsleevz-review.html
It's amazing how un-sexy the "real" photos look.
hmm cheaper than the iskin wahoo.
i would go with the iskin and spend the extra ten dollars so you wont be worried about if you bought the right skin.
hOpe that helps
