Digital camera reviews of Zune Leather Case 80 GB
Digital camera Review: Best case out there. Still in stock, Zune.Net, $35. Looks great; high quality.
Summary: 5 Stars
Except for (perhaps) the custom cases found at vajacases daaahtcom, this is the best case I could locate anywhere. I snagged it at ShortCircuitedCity before the implosion for about $30. The only place I think it is available now is at the Zune.Net website.
High quality looks. Dark brown tasteful-looking smooth, high quality leather. (Wish I could have had black leather, though. Why brown leather for devices that come in either red or black, I don't understand.) Nice stitching throughout. Has a small magnet pair embedded inside the leathers to keep the flap closed. Fits like a glove. Nice lining material. Overall, solidly constructed.
Three is no plastic cover over the screen. OK with me. The case cover will protect it when not in use ... and when in use, I don't have to look through plastic.
Flap/cover has a small pocket for credit card or the like (under that little pink stripe of fabric).
Yes, it does NOT have a charger plug cutout. This is a common issue with these types of cases; I've run into it with other players, my cell phone, etc. BUT I find I have to take these devices out of their cases to 'dock' them into their USB docking/charging stands/cradles even if there IS a cutout that works with just the charger, so I've learned to live with it.
So far, I've had no problem plugging any of my several audio jacks - no matter the outside diameter - into the cutout for that. But I can see where the cutouts (for audio out and lock on/off) could have been slightly more accurate and accommodating.
For the price, you couldn't ask for more. Well recommended.
Digital camera Review: Bold and Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
After searching through several other case variations I settled on the style and minimalistic nature of the Microsoft case. This case is very attractive and feels solid. It is clear that a lot of care was taken in the construction of this item. The leather is great and I've yet to have a problem with using the buttons or the Squircle. One thing that came as a surprise is a small pocket on the inside of the case. The pink band is actually the lip of the pocket.
The lack of a sync cable opening is a bit disappointing. However, the side loading of the case allows for quick removal for charging and syncing.
Investigate and search out the best deal. I purchased mine for just around $20 and it was worth every penny.
Digital camera Review: Case Sensitive
Summary: 5 Stars
Overall I am very happy with this case. The color and quality fit my Halo3 Edition Zune very well. The inside design and pink stripe, though some dislike, offset the dark brown well and give it character. The magnet in the flap holds well, the Zune fits nice and snug and the headphone hole lines up.
The only things I would change would possibly be making the lock swith accessible and maybe the syncing port. But then it would just be more openings for debris and possibly make the case less sturdy.
Personally, I really like it. To each his own.
Digital camera Review: Case for Zune
Summary: 4 Stars
The case is nice to protect the Zune. It could benefit by having a cut slot in the bottom so the Zune USB connection can be attached when the case is on the Zune. (Mine has one now, thanks to the Leatherman knife!)Digital camera Review: Cool Leather Case
Summary: 5 Stars
My nephew, age 16 and a Zune owner, too, said, "That leather case is really cool! Where can I get one?"
