PCMICROSTORE Brand (2nd Generation) Microsoft Zune 4GB 8GB Premium Silicone Skin Case with 14" Adjustable Sports Armband and LCD Screen Protector Shield - 6 Color Choices Reviews

• Probably not what you're looking for.

  There aren't many Zune accessories out on the market currently, but I thought to give this one a try because I was looking for something that would protect my Zune yet still let me be able to view the laser-etching on the reverse side, so I bought the clear plastic one.
  
  So, let's start with the good things. The plastic does feel good, and only mildly inhibits the touch sensitivity of the Zune Pad. Also, the adhesive plastic used to protect the screen is very clear, so it still looks just as great.
  
  And now the reason for why this is only a two-star review. The plastic is very loose around the top of the Zune. I tried using the arm-strap and going for a light jog and the Zune nearly popped out of the sleeve. Also, the arm-strap is very very tight. This might not be an issue for some/most people, but I'm a bigger guy, and even with the arm-strap at the largest possible setting, it still felt very uncomfortable. But back to the plastic sleeve. It also doesn't do a satisfactory job of exposing the headphone jack. All in all, it's just not a very good cover.
  
  Also, the reason I tried the clear model was so that I could see my design on back. I have to admit, it's possible to determine that there is a design on the back, but not well enough to have warranted this purchase. If that's your reason for choosing this product, you will be disappointed. At the same time, however, this is probably one, if not the only, third party accessory that lets you view the backing.

  I bought my Zune case with armband before reading the other review, so I was worried before I got my case. However, I have had none of the problems mentioned. My Zune fits snugly inside the case. The silicon is a bit flimsier than an iPod nano case with armband that I have, but after you put the Zune inside, I am not worried that it will slip out as the other reviewer mentioned. I have jogged with it many times now and I don't expect any problems in the future.
  
  Also, I have not had any problems with the headphone jack accessibility. You have to push the headphone plug in firmly, but I had to do that with my iPod nano as well when it was in its case. I have never had it disconnect on its own.
  
  The shipping costs from PC Microstore were high (almost as much as the case itself), but because I couldn't find any other options, I was willing to pay it. Overall, I am very happy with this product.

• Satisfaction is important to the Company!

  
  By A27AFJ7JJFRKF8 on 2008-02-09
  I was happy with the product, but discovered that the armband was too small. I notified the company and they were quick to respond. They sent me out a new one which worked out great! I am very pleased with the product and the company.

  The case fits snug and has a great feel to it. However, the armband is worthless if you weigh over 100 pounds. The company needs to provide a longer strap. Most runners will likely be carrying it.
  
  
• Easy to use
  By AZZMDW27MUJR6 on 2008-02-15
  The gel sleeve is easy to put on and looks nice, though I didn't give it a 5 star rating because it was hard to figure out how to put screen shield on properly and I eventually took it off and ordered another one without the glue.
  
  
• good product
  By A19HTT1BMF89ES on 2008-03-10
  This skin fits really well and is a great value. I dropped my Zune (which I do not recommend!) and it literally bounced! No damage whatsoever. I love these skins.
  
  
• great

  I think this items is great it really comes in handy when I work out at the gym and go for runs.
  
  
• Great for the Gym
  By A30SAA4FTV4XJ on 2008-02-09
  Product is durable and functions well. The flexable skin protects the Zune and still allows access to all functions of the player, including the touch pad.
  
  
• Sturdy case, easy to put on but hard to get to lock button
  By A2J7QQTVCNY7U8 on 2008-03-15
  I looked all over for a cover for my 8GB Zune and finally purchased this one. I was happy with the color selection, and the soft, yet durable plastic. If you are looking for a classy, stylish cover this is not for you. But I just needed something to protect the player in my purse as well as something that I can use at the gym. It came with a pre-cut very durable screen cover which was very easy to put on and a must for the glass screens on the Zunes. And I can't even tell that I have the screen cover on - there are no bubbles or fuzziness that you get with some screen covers. One draw back I found is with the opening for the lock button. The lock button is small as it is, and this case has a raised opening, so it is difficult to lock the player without using my fingernail to slide it over. Another downside is the length of the armband. Not an issue for me because I have fairly small arms, but the average male would have to pull the band pretty tight just to get it to fit. The price was right and my order came a couple of days earlier than expected.
  
  
• okay only

• The Pink mini Zune
  By A33WJJZC31K7TG on 2008-03-23
  Purchased as a present for my wife. It was very intuitive for her to set it up herself on her computer sync with her favorites and the pink color was a big plus. She fell in love with it and it has performed well without any problems
  
  
• Exactly as advertised
  By A11FHU42PNLGFQ on 2008-03-28
  The silicone skin case and armband fit the Zune perfectly. The skin case still allows easy access to the controls and the armband is fully adjustable to fit any sized arm. The case protects your Zune from the elements if you are caught in the rain as well as perspiration from your skin if using during strenous activity.
  
  
• good skin, doesn't interfer with touch pad
  By A2UR73038LCSQE on 2008-04-02
  this is a good silicone skin for the zune 8gb. the most important feature, for me at least, of this skin is that although it does cover the touch pad, it doesnt interfer with the touch pad's usage. it only loses a little sensetivity when sliding right or left but nothing that would warrant not buying this silicone case. also the armband can fit large arms. good product
  
  
• Great Zune case - cheap!
  By A3SDIGA00CB8BP on 2008-05-25
  Heavy-duty construction, not flimsy. Great product for a great price. Came with very nice, wide velcro strap. I would definitely buy this product again from this vendor.
  
  
• Ok Ok
  By A2RVN8FY5PRW8M on 2008-06-02
  The silicone case did exactly what I knew it would do....attract every piece of dust that it came in contact with. The screen protector did nothing at all. I would never buy a silicone covering again.
  
  
• i think it's a great case
  By A331WEH631VGCW on 2008-06-21
  I got the black one and i love it! I have a 4gb zune that i just got, and i love it. It has a great material and i can still plug in my head phones and computer cable without a problem. It's tough and it won't fall off, i like the armband to but my arms are little(unless i'm flexing then i've got some GYNORMOS GUNS! But they came with no instructions and i'm kinda stupid so it took me like a half hour to figure out the armband and i still haven't figured out the belt clip but i still love it. If anyone knows how the belt clip works HELP!
  
  
• Decent Product, Design Flaws
  By A2TACLVUEWUN94 on 2008-06-23
  At first glance i was very pleased with this case. The bottom portion got slightly ripped when I put my zune in the case, even though I did not use too much force. Two design flaws: Firstly, the arm band was too small and when I run the bottom of the zune moves far too much. Second, the hole for the headphone jack is far too small... I have separate headphones that I run with, and the hole is not wide enough. I have found this true with many types of headphones that do not have the straight, in-line jack approach of the headphones that come with the zune.
  
  
• Very nice product!
  By A1DA67V1R2YXIJ on 2008-06-24
  I really like this product! The only problem I had with it was the screen protector did not fit correctly no matter what I tried when placing it on my zune. The arm band has worked great when working out and the cover itself provides great protection for my zune.
  
  
• The description was misleading
  By A3GMMF203K0N67 on 2008-08-28
  The case fits beautifully but I didn't receive the arm band. I'm not sure if this was an error on the part of the seller or if I was misled by the title.
  
  Otherwise, it's a very good case, fits like a glove
