 Need better quality control.. March 26, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Product was received perfectly packaged and at first looks was an extremely well made, quality case. However once I slid my new Zune inside I realized that the cutout for the headphones was misplaced about a full 1/4" (the hole shows me a perfectly centered headphone icon, and the case completely covers the actual jack.
This is disappointing and if I had paid full price I would have been rather upset.
Received wrong merchandise, again. March 20, 2008

I ordered a black Zune leather cover, I received a brown Zune leather cover. I do not have the time to return it. So now I am stuck with it. I went with this company because I ordered a black cover from another company and I received a red one. Now I have 2 covers and neither one is what I paid for. This company's ad specifically said black leather cover, that is why I ordered from them. My mistake. Next time I will go into a store and make my purchase so I can see what I am getting before I pay for it.
 Really nice case March 12, 2008

I just bought this case for my 80GB Zune, and I am very happy with the purchase. The case fits the unit perfectly, is lined with a soft cloth with the Zune logo, made of good quality leather, and allows the use of all controls except the USB connector on the bottom. An integrated magnetic closure keeps the cover closed. Worth the money to protect your investment.
 Quality with quirks March 12, 2008

I received this case as a freebie that came with my awesome Zune 80. I can't say I would have paid the $50 that it was selling for at the time (but I wouldn't pay that much for any case, period). That being said, this is a very high-quality leather case. Both inside and out, it's well-crafted and snuggles the Zune safely inside.
I can access the squirkle and left/right buttons easily. While there is no plastic cover over the screen, this is of no concern due to the durable glass Microsoft smartly gave the Zune screen.
It's almost perfect. There are two issues that keep it out of 5 star territory. First, you must remove the Zune in order to access the USB connection. Being that this is the Zune's lifeline to power and content, removing it is done on a frequent basis. And when attached to my home or car kits, the case must be tossed aside. So it is a carrying case in the purest form. It's only good when carrying the Zune.
Secondly, since removing it must be done all too often, it's irksome that the headphones must be disconnected in order to free the player from the case. So there is a lot of disconnecting, removing, reconnecting, disconnecting, inserting, etc., etc., etc. Not very convenient.
It would take only small modifications to make this case the end-all be-all of cases, but as it stands: it's a quality case with a few too many compromises. If I had to shell out cash for a case, I'd take a hit on quality for a more ergonomic design.
DISAPPOINTED - AND HERE'S WHY... March 9, 2008

This case came free with my Zune 80 (store promotion). I have used it for a few weeks and now am in the market for a new type of case.
Pros: Good protection (when you have the flap closed or are NOT using your Zune)
Cons:
1) There is no screen protection when in use - the screen cut-out is wide open;
2) This case was not made for watching video. The flap always wants to close on you (so you have to constantly hold it open) and the Zune also has a tendancy to slide down out of the case when you are watching video (there is nothing but loose friction holding it in);
3) There is no clip or notch or any way to connect the case to a belt or arm, so you just have to hold it (not practical for any type of exercise);
4) There is no access to the serial port, so you have to take it out of the case whenever you connect to your computer or charge it.
5) The stupid pink strip down the middle - great if you're a female or a guy that likes pink but I am not either (why not orange, or black, or ANY other color???)
This case seems fine for storing or transporting your Zune - but definitely NOT FOR USING IT. I personally would not pay money for this case. It is a Zune brand case which is why it cost so much. But when it comes to functionality and practical use, it isn't worth much. Seek elsewhere!
