Silicone case or Hard case?

i have a sansa e260 and i want to know what is better to buy a silicone case or a hard case. also what other good accessories can i buy for it.Silicone case or Hard case?
I prefer silicone. It protects from scratches and gives a little extra padding in case of a fall. :o)Silicone case or Hard case?
i think you should get the hard case. i had a silicone one for my ipod and it covered the wheel so it was very hard to scroll. and it did not cover the screen to protect it. the hard shell will protect it if it falls and will protect it from scratches. but the case might get scratched. also since the silicone creates more friction, it was harder to take out of my pocket. but it your choice.
it would be better to buy both in my opinion but a silicon case protects it from getting scratched and a hard case in case it drops, which ever u buy is up to u
