Digital camera reviews of SanDisk Sansa e200 Series 5-Piece Travel Case Kit
Digital camera Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
When I got my Sandisk sansa e260, it came with a nice sleeve, and a decent enough lanyard. But it was still open to the elements, and you had to have a pocket to hold the player. With the items in this kit, you can protect the screen, protect the player, attach the player to your belt, or comfortably hang around your neck with the much better lanyard. The screen protecter is fairly easy to attach, you just have to take your time. The leather case for the player fits well, and allows access to the controls, and the headphone port; the USB cable can be attached while the cover is on the player, but it's a lot easier with the case off. The cover also has a belt slot, and a lanyard ring; I don't care for the fit on my belt, but the lanyard is a vast improvement over the factory
lanyard(plastic cord vs soft fabric). The hard outer case is very protective plastic, with fitted padding on one side, and a handy net "basket" on the opposite case half, which I use to hold my headphones, but could be used to hold extra MicroSD cards, etc. The hard case also has a belt loop attachment, plus a lanyard loop. I'm quite pleased with my purchase, it does everything it is intended to do, and I believe it will last long time.
Digital camera Review: Excellent buy!

This set does the job...all the extras you wish were packed with the Sansa. I especially like the sturdy lanyard, that has a special hook mechanism that works like a charm. The cleaning cloth and the screen protector are nice too.Digital camera Review: Excellent value, nice leather case
Summary: 5 Stars
This kit had everything my son wanted, a lanyard to wear this around his neck, a leather glove, a screen protector to prevent scratches, a carrying case for storage, and a cleaning cloth. The screen protector is a little tricky to get on without any bubbles, I would have liked to have received two of those in this kit. The only other items you might wish to add to your sansa is a micro sd card, an armband, and new ear buds. The ear buds that are shown in the amazon picture are not included.Digital camera Review: Exceptional Protection
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone who enjoys purchasing techy toys, I'm always searching for effective ways to carry and protect them, and this product does an exceptional job of protecting my Sansa. Unlike many tech toys where the available protection/carrying options are either very limited, not very well thought out or not very effective, this one provided me with a great selection of options that really do a great job.
SCREEN PROTECTOR - Comes with a self adhesive transparent anti-scratch "thingy" (screen) which sticks to the front of the Sansa and protects it quite effectively from daily wear and tear. I had no trouble putting it on, bubble free, though it seems other folks did, so be careful. Unlike many self adhesive shields I've had for other devices, this one comes with a little tab to make peeling the shield from the backing easier.
DUAL CARRYING CASES - The fact that this kit comes with TWO carrying cases, one smaller, form fitting one and one larger and padded unit, is a great idea. Sometimes I want to carry the Sansa in as small a size as possible but still protect it (while it's in my pocket) ... while other times I want more protection and can afford a bit more bulk, like when I toss it in my backpack. I have both needs and the fact that both needs are met by this one purchase is SO handy. I didn't have to hunt around in 10 different stores to find 2 cases ... one purchase handled everything. And what's REALLY great is the fact that the two cases were designed to work together ... slip the Sansa into the leather case for pocket use ... then, with the leather case still on, drop it into the larger shell style case for rougher transport. No need to take it out of the leather case to put it into the shell case. GREAT design.
LEATHER CASE - The leather case is form fitting, secures with velcro and is thick enough to provide meaningful protection, but leaves you access to the most important controls and earphone jack on the Sansa. I will give the leather case a few negative marks for a) covering up the voice record button (which I use but most folks might not) and b) making access to the 4 directional navigation buttons a bit tricky. But otherwise, I find it quite satisfactory and I'm not sure I could have come up with a leather case for this unit that would have done a better job.
SHELL STYLE PADDED CASE - The larger padded case is a 100% winner. I find it to be no larger than it has to be while providing the kind of protection I want in rougher environments. It zips open on 3 sides to provide a hinged clam shell sort of opening, is designed with foam padding sized to accept the Sansa either "naked" or with it's "leather jacket", leaves a place in the padding for the earphone cord to pass through and comes with a velcro attach/detach belt loop to compliment the belt loop on the leather case. This is the best carry case of it's kind I've ever used. It fits great in my back pack in the small pouch designed to accept MP3 players and CD players and really does a great job. I'm totally psyched.
CLEANING CLOTH - in a day when quality cleaning cloths are hard to find even as after market purchases (I buy a lot of them for photo gear), it was GREAT to get one as part of this kit. This cloth isn't large, but it's a very high quality one and does a great job. And yes, there's a small pocket inside this case for little extras.
LANYARD - I really like the design of the lanyard that came with this unit as well. As with the other pieces, it's really well thought out, well designed and well made.
I've never seen an aftermarket carry case "set" that was this well designed or made ... I can give it my highest recommendation.
Digital camera Review: Functional and bulky
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought this mainly to protect Sansa from my 6 year olds abuse. It servers it purpose. But the case or the kit is very unattractive and bulky. It takes all the coolness of Sansa off.
