iSkin or iSock?

I have a 4th Generation 20GB Color iPod. It is starting to get very scratched and I was wondering what you think is a better investment. Should I purchase an iSkin or an iSock? I really can't decide which is better. Maybe someone has had some experience with both? Thanks.

I've had two iSkins and love them. Good fit and finish, with one exception: the hole at the bottom for the dock connector is not quite big enough and can prevent the connector from making full contact.

I really like my iSkin. Won't the iSkin protect it better anyways because you can use it with the skin on?

isock

pros
-easy to take in and out
-6cases for the price of one
-dose not collect dust/lint etc
-can CLICK the wheel through the sock
-when you use the ipod u can see/handle the ipod itself
-all surfaces totaly covered

cons
-must remove ipod to see screen and scroll
-there is no black isock

iskin

pros
-can use ipod while in case
-some degree of drop protection
-wide color veriaty

cons
-lint dust magnet
-you dont see ipod anymore just the case
-(true of all rubber cases) tends to get stuck in pocket ie resist
-cannot dock ipod without removing screen protector and then taking it out of the case
-dock protector is ONLY big enough for apple's wall charger/syncing cable

personaly i pick the isock because it is best for my needs. these are two totaly differnt casses and how you intend to use your ipod will determine your chose. if you own a dock and an iH5 and apresheate the beauty of your ipod so with the sock. if you want the ultime in protection and dont dock your ipod and dont mind a case coverd in lint go for the iskin.
