Customer Reviews

Very Nice Case
The case has a nice design and the Zune fits perfectly inside. The clear LCD protector does not distort your video or images. There's only one issue that you should be aware of and that is if you have the docking station for your Zune, you will have to remove the Zune from the case before you can dock it. I don't find that to be an issue but I thought I bring that to your attention. Other than that, you can attach the USB cable to the Zune while it is inside the case without a problem.

One of two best Zune 30 cases, it seems
From researching sites like this, it looked like this case and the Speck Toughskin are the two best cases for the Zune 30. I bought this one, but haven't seen the Speck.

Likes:
- Can remove easily from the case. This is important if you use the Zune in a dock (including a speaker dock like the Altec Lansing), or if you use the Belkin Tunepower (an additional battery pack).
- Nice looking colors (black, grey, tan lining) that help disguise my brown Zune's unattractive color.
- Built-in screen protector. Haven't noticed it's there, so I guess it's not visible in use.
- Open sync/charge port. With wireless sync, I'm no longer attaching the Zune to the computer. Instead, I charge by attaching the sync cord to an A/C adaptor that has a USB output. (I've found that lithium ion batteries, which are supposed to only have about a two-year lifespan, are lasting more than four years in my lightly-charged devices, so separating charging from syncing has given me the ability to limit my Zune charge cycles.) If you're worried about lint from your pocket getting into the port, then this open port is not an advantage.

Dislikes:
- The clip is far from foolproof. It's too easy when bending for your thigh to push the large Zune off your belt. Happened two times during the first hour I had it on my belt. If you're just going for a walk, for example, this might not be an issue.
- The thick leather around the exposed click wheel means that when intending to click ff or rew, you sometimes instead accidentally activate the buttons to the far left (go back) or far right (play/pause). I've adjusted mostly, getting my whole finger into the recessed click wheel area before clicking with the edge of my finger or fingernail.

The reviews of the Speck indicate that belt clip is secure. They also indicate it's more difficult to pull your Zune in and out of the Speck case.

BEST ZUNE CASE!
of course it is the only case i have ever tried, but having tried it, i don't think i will ever get another one. it shows the screen wonderfully and all the buttons are reachable. so... good job belkin!
