Good Quality Knockoff Case [Posted on 2008-04-08]
This is basically a knock off of the hard plastic case that Sony sells for 25 bucks.
The case is good quality. It's does add bulk though, it no longer looks as sleek. The plastic is thick. There are rubber inserts in the case to access player controls. The volume control on the side and the "back" button are more difficult to use now, but the main play/pause key feel is good.
A good buy for inexpensive protection for your walkman.
Great Little Case For Your Walkman [Posted on 2008-04-09]
I like the case. I can see the window clearly from inside the case and the buttons work fine. I like that I won't scratch my Sony 818 now. The case is like a clear shell that fits together in two pieces. It is much cheaper in price than Sony. The only minus I can see is you have to take your Walkman out to recharge it on the cradle, but that is no big thing for me. Would the case protect your Walkman if you dropped it? Probably not, since it would probably just break apart, but it will protect it from getting scratched which was my main concern. A low priced alternative to the high priced other choice.
A Bargain Compared to the Sony Case [Posted on 2008-04-17]
I just received this item, and I'm very pleasantly surprised. It fits my A816 perfectly and is easy to open, and the buttons work great... my "Back" and volume buttons require more pressure than when using the unit without the case, but the navigation and "Option" buttons are perfect. I use a sync cable, never a cradle, so the unit basically never has to leave the case. I can't say how this compares to the Sony version, but for $20.00 less, I don't care.
What a deal! [Posted on 2008-04-29]
This is a great little item. Don't know how much it will protect my Walkman 816 in an accidental fall, but honestly, for $4 you CANNOT go wrong! If nothing else, it keeps dust, etc. off it and protects it in your briefcase, backpack, etc. during travel. And it looks like my big fingerprints on the screen won't be an issue anymore either. Shipping was cheap and super quick. $4 to protect a $128 piece of electronics? This is an easy decision... Get it!
Can't go wrong for the price. [Posted on 2008-08-19]
It's true that the name listed for this item -- "Clip-On Crystal Case..." -- is misleading, because in this case "clip on" means that the two pieces of clear plastic with rubber buttons "clip" together when you put the MP3-Video player between them, and it does not mean "clips on to your belt, etc."
Aside from that, if you want a clear plastic case to protect your player from scratches (but not falls), and you don't want to buy the Sony brand clear case for $26 and change (as it is currently listed on Amazon), you can't go wrong for the current price of $3.11 for this clear plastic case.
The rubber buttons work just fine for me, and I have big hands. I have to use my fingernail, however, to work the volume control button through the rubber, but it's not so difficult that it detracts from the case.
I got this case instead of a screen protector film for my Sony NWZ-A818, because I wanted a bit more protection than such films give, such as protection around the buttons. Drop the player into a sink full of water with the plastic case on it, and the case is not going to protect it. But if I set the unit on the kitchen counter or bathroom counter when using the sink and water splashes, it will protect the unit in most cases.
I like the way the player looks and feels without the case, but unfortunately it's kind of delicate and I tend to be an elephant-in-a-china-shop kind of guy (e.g., I took great care not to put my fingers on the player's window but I managed to grime it up anyway), so for $3.11 plus the $2.98 shipping I paid (for fast shipping from Eforcity), the clear plastic "clip on" case is ideal.
