iPod iPod nano 3G Cases? What Are You Using?

I just got the new SwitchEasy Biscuit case for my 3G iPod nano.
I like the design.
It adds little to the size of the player itself, and does a really good job protecting the entire player. Hopefully, it'll be widely available in stores soon, since I don't have to worry about smudging the case or scratching the metal back anymore!
By the way, I like the short headphone adapter--this makes it possible to use almost any headphone that has the 3.5 mm plug (a lot of headphones have 3.5 mm plugs that won't fit into the 3G nano with the case installed).

Yikes, this turned out to be a nearly complete waste of $25.
Where to begin? The "static cover" for the back of the iPod is just a piece of thin plastic. It has no "static" qualities whatsoever. They put a pair of labels on it, one on each side, telling you which is the "static" side. There is no "static" side, and the labels won't come off although they are supposed to, so you end up tearing them both off and making a sticky mess, which then transfers to the back of your iPod. Dumbest, most useless thing I've ever seen.
As soon as I got the case on, I found out that I could no longer use my Ten Technology car adapter. The case is way too thick on the bottom. A deal breaker.
They also give you a little round translucent label to put over your click wheel. It's not quite transparent, so it looks like crap on your click wheel.
The only good part of the whole package is the Universal Dock adapter, which holds your iPod tightly in the dock, provides a cut-out for the low click wheel on this iPod, and still allows me to use my 2G Nano in the dock.
The only reason I don't send it back is that I plan to buy my daughter an iPod this Xmas, and maybe she can use this case, as she has no car adapter.
If you're looking for a case for your iPod 3G Nano, keep looking. This isn't the one.

I was looking for a case that protected the screen but didn't risk scratching the unit itself which apparently the Biscuit cases do, if only slightly. Therefore, the iSkin Duo looks to be the best to me.
It's $17 to ship to the UK and that seems to be a bit of a waste but I haven't found any UK resellers with the new cases in. Has anyone else had any luck? If not, what are other UK members here using?
