looking for good ipod touch case for work

Apr 23, 2010 10:03AM PDT

I am buying an ipod touch this weekend. I am going to use it at work.
I work in a screen printing shop and it get very hot and is very dusty.
The two cases I was looking at was the iSkin Vibe and the Griffin iClear with clip.

I like the iSkin since it covers all the ipod and comes with a cover for the sync adapter. The only problem is that I would have to keep in my pocket. I wear sweat pants to work in and stuff in my pockets tend to get sweaty(yeah gross I know). Also, if I keep it in my pocket could it overheat?

The iClear comes with a belt clip, but is a hard case and has open spots for the hold, volume and docking port. So, I am afraid the ipod would get dirty and scratched with dust getting into it.

Of course, with either case there would be a screen protector!
I might be crazy with all this, but $399 is a lot to spend and I want the ipod to last as long as possible.

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
