Default Soccerfreak24's Review of the Incipio Butter Cream ORION Sleeve Case


Well, heres my 2nd review of the Butter Cream ORIONo sleeve case... enjoy.
Taken from my article over at Gotzune.com
Quote:
First Impression’s: As you can tell, this is a bit different from the previously reviewed case, because it is in fact a sleeve case. It seems to work the same as any other sleeve/sock case, but offers a bit more protection because of it’s leather material. The stitching is nice and clean, and the base color is used throughout the case with a slightly darker felt-like interior. Aside from the dotted pattern along the exterior, the only other design is the word Incipio imprinted near the bottom, and the Incipio logo on the pull tab. The current “butter cream” color definitely isn’t my favorite though, but it’s available in Green, Pink, White, and Burnt Orange as well.



Side stitching is nice and clean

P1010049

Front view, with Incipio imprinted near the bottom

Features: As far as features go, because this is a slip case it’s fairly limited. The case offers nearly full protection, although it leaves a slight gap at the top of the screen, and the top of the device. The main added feature is the pull tab. Because the zune fits very tightly it would be nearly impossible to pull out without this. By simply pulling up on the tab from the back it pushes the zune about 1/2 inch from the skin and you can slip it out.

Dislikes: For dislikes there are only a few things. First off, the sleeve does not reach the top of the case(as can be seen below), revealing the top portion of the screen. Because the pull tab is present, it seems unnecessary to leave the small piece of the device unprotected. After all, you would not be using the screen to pull it out. My second and final concern is the fact that this case limits use of the ear buds while inside it. Because the earphone jack is located at the bottom of flash zune’s, it becomes inaccessible while this case is in use.(unless of course you slipped the device in upside down)



Top of screen revealed while in case

Verdict: Overall, due to the strong material and good fit, this case offers great protection for your zune device during travel, while still functioning like the normal sleeve case. The pull tab is also a nice bonus for ease of use. I advise this to anyone who simply needs good protection for the zune while in a bag/pocket, but is willing to take it out for access to it’s functions. Check this case out over at MyIncipio, with the current retail price is $19.99.

Ooh good review!! I love the little tab thing you pull out to pull your zune out. My friend got this case in black for the ipod touch though, it's really cool. But when did you get a black flash zune !!!???....didn't you get green...??

I got green, I think it must just be a wierd angle/flash or something, you can tell by the corner of the zune it's green.. sorta.

No, at least not that I know of. It's this felt-like lining, and it leaves no residue. And btw, it's an 8 gig.

Lol, and you missed it.., but my zune 30 came from club live. which is pretty tight. But yeah, this is like my dream.. haha. It worked out perfectly, after obsessing over zune for months at least it finally all worked out.

I still hatez/envy you...makes me regret all the times I've spent money for some odd reason...

Oh yah do you think it would be hard to take a flash zune w/ a full body invisible shield applied on it from the case even with that "tab" to pull out the zune from the case??

Maybe you should ask Chris to get you a fully body IS for your zune 8 to test it out...

Hmm... I can't really tell, because I never have used an IS. The fit is very tight, but you most likely could still slide it out using the tab. My only concern is if the IS material would be able to slide into the case.
