Which type of iPod case is better: silicone or clear acrylic?

I recieved a black 30gig iPod for Christmas and it's starting to get some minor scratches. I want to buy a case for it to prevent it from getting scratched up any farther. I can't decide whether to get a silicone case or a clear acrylic. I want something that will allow access to the ports and buttons/switches, protect the screen, and keep out dust and stuff that will scratch the iPod even more. Which type of case do you suggest? And if you can suggest specific brands/models of cases, please do.Which type of iPod case is better: silicone or clear acrylic?
I just bought an iSkin eVo3 for my 30 GB iPod and I highly recommend it. It's a little pricey at $34.95 but it's made of high-grade silicone with a hard plastic cover and offers excellent protection while still allowing accessibilty. It's definitely worth it!

A full acrylic case will just end up suffering the same problems as the acrylic face on your iPod (though it is cheaper to replace the case than the iPod). I suggest getting a clear adhesive screen cover and a pretty much any silicone sleeve. One benefit of silicone over acrylic is that it'll also act as a shock absorber if you happen to drop it.
I think that the silicon one should be better.
