ZuneOne cases: Crystal vs Silicon?

Waspinators · 05-24-2008, 11:59 AM

Soon I'll be buying my Zune 80 (finally!), and I'm a freak about keeping my devices in perfect condition, so which is the better case? I'm looking for something that doesn't add too much bulk, but enough to protect it, and something that won't damage the Zune itself (make marks/scratches on it from being in the case).

Some questions about the cases themselves:

Crystal
1. Does this scratch easily? Because that could mess up my view of the screen.
2. Does the case open up a lot when you don't want it to?
3. Does it change the touchpad use at all?

Silicon
1. Does that loop thing in the back get really loose?
2. How well does it protect the Zune?

Million thanks to whoever can help me out.

I'd go with Silicone, crystal scratches easily, and from my experiences with a 4/8 version, just isn't very good. I prefer silicone, it's pretty durable, and most importantly, it has shock resistance in case you drop it. There is no screen protector though, so you may want to consider getting an Invisible shield for screen protection.

I'd go with the silicone case, the crystal case scratches very easily. Also, the ZuneOne case includes a screen protector, and the ZunePad works normally.

silicone from zuneone ^^
thinner and has a bit of a shock protection if dropped
the crystal will scratch and that would bug me a lot too
