Review: ZuneOne's Silicone Case for Zune 4/8GB
ZuneOne has recently released a set of cases for Zune 80GB and 4/8GB players. We got a sampling of them recently, including this silicone case for the Zune 4/8GB. This brightly-colored case is available in black, blue, clear, and pink.
The case comes bundled with a wrist strap, belt clip, and armband. For $7.95, it's a nice little layer of rubbery protection that won't hit your pocketbook too hard.
Read on for our full review.
Packaging. The case comes in a simple plastic bag. Inside, here's what you get: silicone case, wrist strap, belt clip, and armband.
The Zune 4/8GB is a good tight fit (that's what you want in a silicone case) as it slides into the case.
Openings at the top allow access to the headphone jack and the hold switch, while the sync port is easily accessed through the large opening at the bottom.
The included belt clip is made of light plastic. It's not as heavy-duty as others we've seen, but it does the job and should last if you're not too abusive with it.
The case's silicone material is slightly thinner than other cases we've tested, and you'll get some sag when the case hangs from the belt clip. With the light flash players, it shouldn't be a problem unless your player really gets tugged hard enough to rip the silicone.
The case comes with a decent quality armband. Generously-sized velcro areas, a comfortable width, and good elasticity make this an armband that you could use with lots of cases.
The case itself offers a nice fit around the player, good access to all buttons and connections, and some bump protection for your player. And, it gives a funky and colorful look to your Zune 4GB or 8GB player, for a price that is unbeatable.
