Customer Reviews
Not worth it.
I bought this case along with my X-Fi 32gb and I thought it would be the greatest thing since sliced bread. I have a silicone case for my Blackberry and I love it. It protects my phone and doesn't collect dust and just looks good. Although it does protect it, it is a pain. The silver buttons on it don't line up with the regular buttons, making it extremely difficult to press the buttons. It also collects lint like the lint catcher in my dryer. Definitely not worth the money. Very bad product from Creative, which is VERY surprising.
Tailor-made for the Creative X-Fi
Getting some kind of case for a new MP3 player is nearly mandatory (pity the manufacturers still won't ship one with their players), so after buying my Creative X-Fi 32GB I looked around for a case.
I like silicone because it isn't bulky and protects well (not against violent impact, of course). For my previous Creative Zen I'd bought a silicone case which I loved, because it had a snap hook I could attach to a bag strap or to one of my jeans' belt loops. No such luck with the current offerings for the X-Fi, and I really didn't like what I saw except for Creative's own silicone skin.
So that's what I got. I read the reviews complaining about mis-aligned buttons but maybe I was lucky: every detail in the Creative clear silicone skin aligns perfectly with the player, be it the buttons, the on/off switch (which can be a bit hard to reach), the SD card slot, you name it. The player looks protected, it doesn't slip from my grasp and the handling is unaffected by the silicone. It'd be perfect if it had a snap hook.
Does what it's meant to do
Protective silicon skin works well to protect the unit for which it was intended. All bottons line up and make it O.K. to navigate and select songs, etc. Only problem I found was that the additional thickness of the skin makes it somewhat difficult to turn the unit on and off.
