Ok, i really need a case. The iSkin evo2 is at the top of my list. But I need to know more about it. First of all how much bigger does it make my 20gb 4G ipod? Does it protect the screen and click wheel? Does it really make the ipod look wierd? Just a few questions.

Yes it protects the screen.. as advertised on their website. No it does not protect the click wheel.

Evo2 rocks. It's the best of the silicone skins.
1. It adds about a millimeter of thickness to all sides of the iPod, I'd guess. It's quite thin, yet still does a good job of stretching and protecting. I got one because it's perfect for keeping your iPod in your pocket. No extra bulk.
2. The screen protection is the best of the silicone skins. The others use a lame rubber membrane, but the evo2 has a nice plastic screen cover that stay in place very nicely. You can even get different color screen covers! It's very protective.
3. No clickwheel protections, but you can grab an iPoDonut (or whatever they call them) and stick it on there. Problem solved.
4. I think iSkin looks cool. Not weird at all. I have the Ghost version, and my iPod looks pretty similar to a "naked" iPod with the iSkin on, except for some extra detailing below the click wheel. The glo effect is handy if you use your iPod in dark situations, like in a car at night.
My suggestion is to GET ONE. They're very nice... Unless you feel like spending $70 for a Vaja iVod, this is the best low-profile choice in my opinion.
Whatever you do, STAY AWAY from the Jam Jacket. It BLOWS.
