Features: I Expected a Tight Fit [Posted on 2007-02-02]
I currently own the iAudio X5 and had been looking for a cover for it or a arm band for it for quite some time. When I came across this item I was excited to see that there was something that would not only look good but protect my device. I ordered and was dissappointed to find out that such a beautiful cover did not fit as tightly or snug as I expected it to. I do recommend this product for protective purposes, if you can I would wait to see if Zcover would plan to make one that fits a bet more to specs of the actual X5. My sister owns a Ipod and her cover made by the same company fits great, and it looks good, that is how I expected my to fit. Keep working on it zCover.
Z cover [Posted on 2007-02-15]
I don't want to do the other reviewer a disservice but if he actually owns the X5 then the reason this cover is loose is because it's made for the fractionally bigger X5L (which has a longer battery life). That's the model I have and the skin fits perfectly. The hard screen protector is a great feature and I think the black finish looks far better than translucent skins. The only negatives I have are that it's overpriced and that an issue I have with the headphone jack, which for some reason seems to 'grip' the headphones slightly looser than on other players I've had, is worsened by having a closely fit layer of rubber all around the input.
Good.... but its a dust-o-phile [Posted on 2007-06-20]
Its a good fit for my iAudio. All the opening are at perfect locations to enable you to operate the instrument effortlessly.
But there are some drawbacks too:
- The material is such that it attracts dust a lot. Its not like the clean case shown in the picture.
- The clip behind is as thick as the player so that increases the bulk of the product. Clip it on your belt and it will project out.
A few glitches [Posted on 2007-08-20]
The case itself is fine, but there are a few glitches with using the player while in the case. First is that you cannot use the cradle while the player has the case on. Since it's not a snap-on case, this means you'll have to wriggle the thing on and off when using the cradle. If you're using the subpack instead, realize that it won't seat fully due to the thickness of the rubber, making it likely to fall out with any jostling. To fix this problem, I used an Xacto knife to cut out the indentations on either side of the subpack flap. The flap is also troublesome, especially when trying to plug in the player when in my car. To fix this, I made a couple of snips to make the flap open wider. It isn't a perfect solution, but it's better than nothing.
