Some people find that casein (or having casein in the mix) keeps them "full" longer. Personally, neither whey or casein keeps me full for more than about 10 minutes. Your mileage may vary. Try one and see.
The best way to keep full longer with protein is to use
solid proteins, like eggs and meat, since those actually stay in your belly longer. Liquid empties pretty fast, and while casein may stick around longer in your system, that doesn't mean it's keeping you "full." The casein has been out of your stomach for a while, but its nutrients are still available in your system.
You can be hungry and full at the same time (which is why we can overeat and get overfull when we eat quickly, for instance).
You can be
not hungry and your stomach actually empty (opposite of full, right?) if your body still has nutrients floating around and ready to use from a previous meal.
