Silicon Cases - Dust/Lint Magnet?

This is my first Ipod and I'm planning to get the ISkin Evo3. Is it true that silicon cases are dust/lint magnet?
Thanks.

"Magnet" may be a little strong. However, it is true the silicone cases are prone to picking up a static charge when stroked or rubbed against certain materials-- especially in low humidity weather. I use the zCover and have not found this to be a really big problem. Applying a moistened finger, cloth, or paper towel is usually enough to both remove the stray bit of dust/lint and discharge the build up temporarily. Severity of the problem will likely depend on how much/often you handleyour iPod and how you store it. I tend to keep mine in a secondary, outer case (iSnug or DLO "Action") for addition protection during transport or when not otherwise in use.
