Late 2009 iPod Touch skins

[Plutonius]

Is the new iPod Touch physically the same as last year's iPod Touch 2g (i.e. can I use an iPod Touch 2g case/skin on my late 2009 iPod touch) ?

If so, what skins do people recommend for the late 2009 iPod Touch.

My priorities are
1) something that gives me a better grip on the touch.
2) protects the touch (including the screen) from fingerprints.
3) Does not add noticeably to the size of the touch.

Yes, the dimensions are 100% the same. I've used skins from www.zagg.com. They're about $25, but come with a lifetime warranty (that you'll never use, but still have to pay $4 for shipping every time) and also skins from www.bestskinsever.com. I would definitely recommend the bestskins, they're cheaper and give you all the features you're looking for. Also, the skin I purchased from zagg was slightly tinted on the screen, so it was not as bright, however bestskins was perfectly clear.

How is the grip on the bestskinsever ?

It does improve the grip dramatically, it's hard to describe what it feels like though. I would say it feels like a little bit thicker, slightly textured saran wrap? I can put my iPod in my hand flat and tilt at 70 degree angle and it'll stay put.
