Digital camera reviews of Zune Leather Case 80 GB
Digital camera Review: Nice enough case....way too expensive
Summary: 3 Stars
I think that this is a great case for the zune. It protects it from drops (have had a few), and allows you to use the player with ease.It is pretty stylish as well. I do not like how i cannot charge it with the player in the case. Also $50 for a case is a little ridiculous. I would expect 20 dollars....even 30 dollars for an mp3 player case, but 50 dollars is annoying. I would give this product 4 stars if it was $30. That's about how much it's worth. Since there are not that many options for cases as of now (1/8/08), this is a good choice but once better and cheaper options become available...get those =)Digital camera Review: No cutout for interface cable
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a very attractive and stylish case, but it has two usability flaws. 1.) It is impossible to connect the charging/USB cable while the Zune is in this case because there is no cutout in the case for the connector. This means that you cannot use this case with the Zune car pack. 2.) The cutout for the audio connector is small in diameter, so some cables cannot be inserted if the plastic housing of the connector is too thick. Of course there is no problem with official Zune cables. My complaints aside, I love the look of the case, especally the cloth lining with the red highlighed trim on the inside of the cover. The magnetic catch for the cover is aslo a nice touch.Digital camera Review: Not Happy With Zune Leather Case for 80 GB
Summary: 1 Stars
I would return this item if I saved the packaging. Unfortunately it was a Christmas gift and I wrapped it without the packaging with another item. My daughter does not like this case and ended up getting a different one. It does not allow for charging within the case and does not have a protective cover for the screen. For the amount paid I am very disappointed. Martin LoweDigital camera Review: Only a Base Hit
Summary: 3 Stars
Well made and attractive. Hole for output is small in diameter and not centered so the only plug that fits Zune with cover on is the Zune earbuds. No opening for serial cable on bottom, so Zune must be pulled out for each connection making it not protected during use and handling, or in the car. A bit counterproductive. Would have been a 5 with these two problems corrected, the engineers must have never used one.Digital camera Review: Poor Design
Summary: 1 Stars
While this case is sturdy enough to protect your Zune, its design is hopelessly flawed. There is no clear protective cover for the display screen, which is unfortunately the one place where most MP3 players are damaged by scuff marks, scratches and fingerprints. The opening for the headphone jack on the one I bought was off center, and too narrow. I had to hollow it out with a razor knife just to get the headphones and aux cords to attach properly. But the biggest flaw in my opinion is that the jack for the synch cable is completely enclosed by this case - meaning that everytime you want to charge your Zune, or add/delete content, you have to completely remove the Zune from the cover in order to do so. This renders the "protective" case useless.
I've already ordered a replacement case that will allow me to charge my Zune and/or connect it to my PC without having to handle the Zune out of its protective jacket, because that's when it's most likely to be damaged.
