Anyone bought the Creative Zen Micro Case y

Hi all,
Just wanted to know if anyone can rate the case for the micro that creative put out. Wondering also if the clip is as weak as the one that came with the 5Gb package (slides into cradle). Thanks

Oh man, I got that case and I hate it. When my Micro is in it, the case doesn't firmly close, and I'm afraid that it will pop open and my Micro will get scratched worse than just being carried around in my pocket.

Creative Zen Micro Case/ Accessor

I recently purchased the Creative Zen Micro Case. I've had a purple ZM since they came on the market and really haven't had any problems other than one crash where I lost everything. That was annoying but it did force me to put new stuff on which I don't do on a regular basis.
I have the white Capdase case but was looking for something with a belt clip. The quality of some of the cases with clips isn't that fantastic and not terribly stylish. I decided to go with the Creative case because it was finally available, looked nice and the website claimed it had a clip. They say "clip it to your belt or waistband, or wear it around your neck". The website doesn't have any really good pics of the back of the case though.
The case arri'ved this week. This case does not have a clip. It has a leather loop on the back, attached at one end with a snap. So I could snap it around a belt loop on pants, belt (if I wore one), perhaps snap it around my wrist, around a bag or through my clothes (although that doesn't work and I don't want holes in my clothes). I was very disappointed. I called Creative and complained about the difference between clip and snap. They easily gave me a return authorization number and I shipped it back yesterday.
Just thought anyone looking for a case and considering the Creative one should know so they may avoid disappointment.
Anyway, I purchased a custom Vaja (vajacustom.com) case yesterday. I should have it in a month. The company is in Miami but everything is made in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Yes, this is the same company as Vajacases.com but now you can customize your case and make it any color you want for the same price. Mine will have a lavendar front and violet back... and yes it will have a belt clip. I seriously researched the clip it came with to avoid that mistake again.
Other Accessories:
I have the Vivid 60 speakers in purple and they are fantastic. Great for the office or any place where its important to hear what's going on around you (i.e., can't wear ear buds).
But I wish there was a docking station in production. Does anyone know if that guy who did zenmicrodock.com is actually going to produce them?

Is the Creative zen micro a good bye or a bad

I heard alot of horror stories about creative zen micros freezing and the headphone jacks are not working so I want ask your opinion is the creative zen micro a good bye or a cheap urelieable mp3 player. I love the design and the colors and the extra features but is the player relieable or nice to look at but really senseti've. If buying the creative zen is going to be this big investment then maybe i should get an ipod its just the ipod seems so less in comparison.Please reply so that i might have a greater understanding on what to buy.

I agree with Kerndrone. People come here mostly to look for solutions to their problems. This constitutes a lot to the negati've talk. Also,how many would purposely come into a forum just to praise a player?
ipods aren't great either. I feel that they are just an overpriced piece of gadget with very few features - whatever the zen has, the ipods doesn't (i.e. FM radio/recorder,voice recorder, simple organiser) .On the other hand, whatever the ipod has, the zen also has (with the exception of games, which i think is dumb. An audio player, as its name suggests, it for the purpose of AUDIO, some SIMPLE games? it's so dumb, i'll rather play my mobile phone's, which has color, and nicer to view.)
Further, the Zen comes with much more accessories than the ipods - velvet pouch, craddle + stand + belt clip + charger + USB cable + earphones. ipods don't come with chargers, i think. The charger is pretty expensi've S$69, and the earphones cost S$49 if bought separately.

Won't reformatting the Creative Zen Micro constantly kill it? Especially with the beta firmwa

I have just been the victim of "sudden audio player death syndrome" my iri'ver h0 bit the dust two weeks after I bought it... I have the same fears about my creative zen micro, as I fear that these micro dri'ves are less durable than full size hard disks and more succeptible to failure. I really was scared to format it once. And I asked the question earlier... but I would like some more replies, do you have to reformat the dri've every month to renew subscription tracks on napster to go... does anybody have experience with the service and the player, maybe for a couple of months that could tell me?

I have the Micro as well as the Seagate Pocket Dri've, a standalone version of the S dri've that's in the Micro. I've owned the latter for about fi've months now. Both of them take a fair share of abuse: the Seagate dri've travels in my backpack or pocket every day to and from work. The Micro is strapped on my arm fi've times a week as I do my daily jog. Both have yet to show any signs of damage. I also reformatted my Micro dri've about 0-2 times when I first got it (I had problems that I thought were caused by the firmware but, as it turns out, were caused by my USB card).

It was shipped to be all the way from hong kong, giving me a $0 shipping cost addition. In the end, it came out to about $35. I however, am asking $20 SHIPPED, or $8 plus shipping, you choose.

Cannot install Driver for the Creative Zen Micro Photo MP3 Pla

I was having some issues with my player so I formatted it and tried to reload the firmware. My computer will not download the driver. When I plug it into the USB it bings and then says "new hardware" It bounces back and forth from Creative touch to MTP device. Then when I try and install the driver I get the following Error: "The Specified service does not exist as an installed service"?How do I fix this?

OK didn't work. Still getting the same error.

Official Zen Micro Case. Any Go

Hi, I have just received zen micro number 4 from the Creative RMA department after a string of problems?with dead players and headphone jack?issues.
?I wondered whether I should get the official zen micro case. Has anyone got good experience with this case? I want to keep my headphones plugged in but store it in the case at the same time. Will this be possible? I have a cheap silcone skin case at the moment but maybe wanted something a little more sturdy for my rucksack.
thanks

Thank you Alicia. Geez, I can't really understand why people are making protecti've cases that don't protect the most scratch prone surface of the Micro....
I think I'll end up buying a silicone case and one of those screen protecti've films designed for PDAs and cell phones. Too bad there's nothing better around.

Creative Zen Micro zCover C

Hello. I was just wondering, could someone post pictures of, and tell me if the zCover case for the Creative Zen Micro has a screen protector? Please get pictures of the front, sides, top, bottem, and back, with the clip on and off. Thank you!

just received the Zen Micro Leather Case...very nice...as indicated on the product page, there is a protecti've vinyl display...
http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=23&subcategory=27&product=5
and the magnetic snap closure is a nice touch (puts no force on the Zen Micro to close like you would need for a snap button)...
question: there is an opening at the bottom of the case...possibly for a lanyard? anyone seen one? looks like it may loop/fit inside the battery cover...

Creative Zen Micro 4GB isn't recognized on my PC

Hello,
I bought a Creative Zen Micro 4GB?couple of years ago (3-4 years ago) and lost it year ago. I found it now and wanted to start using it but I have a problem. I bought a new laptop which is Vista and my pc doesn't recognize the player when I plug it in. It recognizes it and the bubble comes up at the tray, but it doesnt recognize it and says it can't find the driver and that I need to install the driver. However, since my pc can't recognize it, I can't install a driver or do anything with it since it isn't recognized by my pc. I read lots of posts and solutions to them, but none of them help my problem. In the device manager, it is apperead with a yellow explanation mark but I can't reinstall the driver. I also tried the cleanup and reboot but that also didn't work. Can anyone help me? (I also tried this on my old pc which has XP but it had the same problem.) My Pc is Windows Vist 32-Bit Operating System and Service Pack . By the way, when i plug in my zen micro, the window comes saying 'found new hardware' and I am suposed to locate a place for the dri've and it says i should insert the disc that came with it. However, when i insert it nothing happens and in the end it says it failed. I really need urgent help. Thank you in advance already.

Creative Zen Micro and Podcast

I want to subscribe to a series of National Public Radio podcasts on a tool (maybe iTunes but I don't think the Creative Zen Micro works with iTunes) and be able to easily sync these onto my player. I have a Creative Zen Micro about a year old (or more?).
Does anyone subscribe and download podcasts to the Zen Micro that can post a How To? I open the Creative MediaSource Tool and can see the podcasts I want to sync to my mp3 in the "now playing" window but don't know how to get them to upload to the mp3.
Thanks for any help.

Thinking about becoming a Creative Zen Micro users, BU

I am looking for the Creative Zen Micro Photo that I saw announced on Cnet.com. This product is suppose to be the upgrade to the creative zen micro, but it will now have a COLOR screen. Does anyone know when it will be available, and how much it will cost? On cnet.com they said Quarter 2, which we are currently in.
Here is a link to the product:

Zen Micro Case Quest

Not sure this belongs here...but I have a question about the Creative Zen Micro leather case. You shouldn't get magnets near Mp3 players such as a micro, but the leather case shuts with a magnet. Is this actually safe, or can a keep using mine?

Should be no problem. The magnet is very weak and will not interfere with the player...

Creative Zen Micro - Please He

I bought a Creative Zen Micro in January 2005 in Singapore. For a while it worked great, but then it just went faulty. Whenever I would try to turn it on it would freeze at the CREATIVE screen. Then after a while, I managed to fix that problem but then when I turned it on every time it would have to re-build the library, and then when it was re-built it went to one of my songs, and no buttons could be pressed, so the song couldn't be changed, or even start/stop, the volume couldn't change - even though no song would play and I definitely couldn't get back to the menu. I have been searching my Zen Micro for the reset button but can't find it. I am in Australia and I was just wondering if these problems could be fixed.

I have the same problem with my zen it freezes at the screen i was wondering how you fixed the problem.

Creative Zen Micro; hel

I have the creative zen micro (Is there a reason this isnt shown on the products page?... It looks alot like the zen micro photo, but its not photo.)
Stupidly, I bought mine off ebay after being told its perfect condition, whatnot.
I've had it two weeks, and I have about 300 songs on it, no where near full capacity, so?I know thats a problem.
I fully charged it yesterday, but went to turn it on, and it wouldn't.
I kept trying, and eventually put it on the charger again.
Now I can turn it on, but it gets stuck at the "Creative" bit, where it just shows the word "Creative". IT won't pass it.
I've plugged it into my computer, and it doesn't recognise that there's anything there. I cannot for hte life of me figure out what is wrong! Someone help, please? I'm due to go on a 4hr car journey saturday, not gonna be happy if I can't fix this! =[
thanks =]

Your player is freezing huh? Put the player into recovery mode http://forums.creative.com/creativel....id=5535#M5535 & do a clean-up>reboot. See if that hel
ps.
They can't tolerate too much joggin ect. it does have a hardri've so you should treat it gently. To find more info on your player start here. http://support.creative.com/Products/product_list.aspx?catID=23&CatName=MP3+Players Bookmark for futuer references

Creative ZEN Micro Mo

Does anyone know of any websites which have installable mods for the Creative ZEN Micro MP3 player? (as in modifications and tweaks to the system) I have already tried Google, and a lot of other search engines, but to no avail. Someone please help me out.
Another thing: If my MP3 player crashes because of one of the mods, is there a way I can completely restore the player from scratch?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Really hate to bump my own thread.. but.. anyone have any ideas what to do?
