REVIEWS:
5 of 5 Nicest case available for Zune Sunday, January 13, 2008
Jonathan from Lexington, KY
This is a great case to protect your zune. The lining is soft and the zune slides in easily. The magnetic close is a great feature, the only complaint is that is doens't have a slot for the sync cable. This isn't a major deal for me since, I will charge it on my a/v dock and sync wirelessly. Overall, a great case and at $25 its a steal!

This is a sturdy case that protects your Zune with confidence. Zune can be inserted in and out with ease.

I've seen these for the iPod. They're great, but the one I saw was made for a 5G 30/60/80gb iPod, not a 5.5G 30gb, so it was a bit too large. I like the way it's kind like a book, and the one I saw had magnets to hold it shut. If this has magnets, it's totally worth it.

Jon · 01-19-2008, 10:15 AM

Yeah, the flap has magnets to keep the case closed.

Dragod · 01-19-2008, 10:21 AM

Then awesome! I'd probably buy this if I had a Zune 80.

joosh · 01-29-2008, 07:53 PM

i have this and to be hnest, I don't like it I'm thinking of getting a new one. This case makes me feel like the 80 is very thick. Also no slots for things like usb port. I don't really like how it flips side ways, I'd rather have it flip up. It also, because of the metarial thickness, makes the zune pad scrolling harder.

The only thing i do like about this is the fact that it protects my zune Very nicly and the puch is good for a cleaning cloth to carry around.

runtohell121 · 02-11-2008, 01:57 PM

yea, seems like microsoft makes thick cases. The zune 4gb/8gb leather case from microsoft that i have, it makes the zune so much bigger.. like 2 zune 4/8gb stack up together size.. but it protects it good enough. one bad thing about the cases are, when you want to sync, you have to unplug the headphones, get your zune out..-.-

saline · 02-11-2008, 03:17 PM

Woah, that's a nice looking case.

Just bought one for my Zune today. It looks great.

Pros:
- Very protective.
- Magnetic closing.
- Looks classy.
- Came with a free song download.

- Has a sleeve on the inside.

Cons:
- I would of preferred a black case to match my Zune.
- Kind of beefs up the size of the overall unit, countering the slimness of the Zune, but thats expected for the protection it offers.
- Can't really figure out what to put in the sleeve. My cleaning cloth is somehow too bulky and makes the case close awkwardly.
- Ok, who is the moron who didn't put a opening at the bottom for the sync cable?
- I've heard complaints that the headphone jack opening could be a bit bigger. For me, it's not really a problem since both sets of ear buds I have fit fine.
- The lack of a screen cover is debatable for me. I think the flap overing the entire Zune is protection enough, not to mention the glass screen works it's magic better than the iPod scratchtastic screen. Also, the cover might distort the screen since it's not level with the Zune, it's a good centimeter or two above it. Nothing an screen shield would cover if you really need the extra protection.
