I have an iSkin for my 3G. It's a very good case and offers good protection. The screen protector is very good as well. However, the thing attracts lint really badly (i have the carbon so it shows up a lot).

if u buy it from the store, get it. its very dependable. if you're ordering online, DONT. it ships from canada. enough said.

I love the case, but it can damage the back of the iPod. Mine looks a little tarneshed, and I tried cleaning it.

iSkins are one of the better cases out there, but I went with Lajo ones myself (equal quality, and the price was better)
The one thing I'm curious about is the iSkin design. Why are there ridges/raised areas in the lower corners of the front of the case?
I prefer a smooth surface, and always wondered why they did that.

I love my iSkin evo2 Ebony, looks so anti-establishment, such a rebel... blah blah blah. I don't use the belt clip so the back of my iPod stays pristinely scratched and brushed as you can take out the back plate.
As for the ridges, they are to protect the iPod from drops as they seem to occur most on the bottom of the iPod instead of the top.

Ive got a carbon iskin evo2, and i love it! I don't use the belt clip (who really does). I don't have huge problems with dust/lint attraction.

it's nice... actually it's one of the best cases out there. i just have 2 problems with it:
1) attracts lint like no other.
2) if you don't like that rubber "grippy" feeling when holding a product (which i personally don't), then this case won't change your mind.

i have both an iskin and an xskin for my 4g 20gb ipod. personally i like my iskin better. i have an ice iskin, ive never had a problem with getting lint on it, which is possibly just because its the ice color. it also comes with an awsome screen protector. one bad thing about it is the belt clip it comes with. first off even if you do clip it on, itll more than likely come off in a few minutes. with the clip there is a back insert that is touching the ipod, mine got stuck on after a few days, it took me about an hour to get it off, but the ipod was not damaged. then i ordered an xskin during their 50% off sale, i also ordered every accessory they sell with it got it all for less than the price of my iskin. i dont like the lajo xskin as much, its not as easy to get in and out, its black to it picks up lint like crazy and you can see it. the screen protector is mediocre at best. my favorite combination is my iskin with the lajo twist clip attached on the back, its an awesome combination, which is second only to my contour design showcase.

i got one for my G3 iPod, and it seems great. beware though... getting the black design means that you will see lint all over your iPod.
