My review of the Incipio White Leather Flip case

[soccerfreak24]

Well, I just got a mini shipment in of cases to review, so if anyone's interested here's my first review of the White Leather Flip Case(Incipio)

First Impression’s: This case looks and feels great. The white leather looks great, and is stitched with white as well. The only other color you see on this is black, which is present on the Belt Clip, and a thin elastic banded area. The interior of the case has a suede lining that feels nice as well. This case also offers easy access to all functions/buttons, while providing a plastic cover over the screen.



Easy connection for sync cable and earphone jack.


Features: One of the reasons I like this case so much is it’s got all you need. As you can see, it has a flap covering the device that offers further protection, and stays closed due to magnets built in. Within the case you have a thin plastic screen protector to prevent any scratches/smudges, which fits great to match the screen size. Located on the backside is a plastic belt clip, which is sturdy and fits on tightly. However, if desired this can be easily slipped off although it still leaves the black connector piece.(as shown below) The “thin elastic banded area” as I stated above is where the leather/screen protector that hold the device in place are connected to the interior back of the case. This is useful because it helps to create a tighter, more snug fit for the zune.

Dislikes: My dislikes for this case are very limited, although I did find a few things I didn’t like that much. First off, the Magnets on the flap tips don’t appear to be too concise. The left side strongly connects, but the right does not, as it seems a bit weaker. Overtime this may correct itself as the leather softens, but it is a bit of an annoyance. Remember though, this is most likely an individual problem, not one that will affect the average Incipio leather flip case. My only other concern with this case is the leather strap that keeps the zune from falling out the bottom,(between the Sync/Cable jack’s) does overlap the earphone jack a tad, so every now and then you may need to slide it to the side to plug in earphones.



Right corner not fully connected



Verdict: As stated in my first impressions, I really like this case. The colors are great(and compliment the zune hues), the case looks sleek, offers great protection, and easy access to needed controls. The also detachable belt clip is also a plus for any one participating in physical activity. I believe this case is worth it’s 19.99$ price tag, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a strong leather case. Good work on this case Incipio, and you can check it out over at MyIncipio.

good review, I would now definitely get this if I had a 4 or an 8, which I hope to someday

I was wondering if that belt clip came off. That is good news to me. I may have to pick up one of the Zune 80 ones sometime. I almost got one of those, but i thought the clip would bother me too much.

I have the Zune 80 version of this case in black. It's great. I highly recommend it.

It's just about the same as normally looking at the screen, although it can smudge, so if you have a smudgy screen, and a smudgy screen cover... that's never fun. :-( But it's really hardly noticeable.

Well, I'm ordering a black one for my Zune 80 on Wednesday. Did you order yours directly from myIncipio? If so, how long did delivery take? I've read online that delivery time is excruciatingly slow.

I have no idea, Chris from gotzune received this as a review unit from myincipio, and he forwarded it to me for review(along with a few other cases)

good review

[soccerfreak24]

Btw, the magnetic right corner is fine now..

[Trogdor]

do you feel ridiculous with it clipped on your belt?

Lol, well, no one sees it, I keep it under my shirt if I do use the belt clip.
