How about a hard-shell case for the Zen Mic

I recently bought my Zen Micro and the one accessory that I still need to pick up for it is a case. Now I know there is a pouch for it, but what I really want is a something more protecti've to put up with the rigors of travelling.
I see they have the leather case which covers the entire unit and looks to currently be the best bet to offer some overall protection of the unit. But what I can't seem to find (either through Creative or a third party) is a hard-shell case. I'd love to have a good, solid clamshell-type of case (either hard plastic, or even metal) like you can get for PDAs. I've got a metal case for my Palm and I'm sure its been that device's best friend in terms of protection from all of the bumps and bruises of travel.
So if anyone fm Creative is peeking in here - that's my big suggestion for you all.
An if anyone knows if such a case does exist, please feel free to post back.

Gee I never would have thought about using a search function to do a search ;>
Yeah I saw this a few days ago - thank you - but its not quite what I'm looking for. If I wasn't clear, I am looking for a hardshell case that completely closes up the unit. This one is cut open on the front for access to the buttons. I was looking for one similar to the leather case where the entire unit is fully enclosed, basically with the only opening being for the headphones.
I do like the earbuds offered on this website - the ones with the little lapel clip spool.

Has anyone heard of a good hard shell case for Ink and Slide?

As much as I appreciate the charging case for Ink, I need a hard shell case for the the cord, Slide, Ink and the charging case.
I found a Nintendo case at Target yesterday so that I feel comfortable taking my tablet and I&S out for field trips, but it is rather inelegant.
What are other I&S users using?
Thanks,
Terre (who named her Ink 'Scribbles')

Yes, I am looking for a shell case that holds the Scribbles' charger cord and case, plus "Straight," the Slide. Something that protects all components and is portable.ind
I will post what I find aside from: Nintendo 3DS XL Hard Shell Case - Kozmicc
Thanks,

What Hard Suit / Case for the MBP17 Unibody?

Hi all,
just got the new MBP17 unibody
Now I'm looking for a suitable Hard Suit / Case for it.
I like the Crumpler Hardsuit that is available, but I do not know whether the NEW MBP will fit in a case designed for the previous model. Especially since the mesurements have changed slightly. Any ideas?
Thanks

I would really recommend only one, for good reason- I've hauled 5 different models of 17" Powerbooks and Macbook Pros around in a Zero Halliburton 4" Computer Case. I've had the case for 5 years of heavy usage, and the case has about 1,000,000 miles on it (and looks it!). But- the foam cutout on the interior is built for the profile of the 17" (my 17" unibody is on order, but I've measured and in spite of the larger footprint than previous 17" MBPs, it should fit fine), and my Laptops have always been in good hands within the confines of the case.
Two things have broke on the case (in addition to various dents and scratches, which give it "character")- the hinge pin is starting to come out- it came out about 2" about 2 years ago, the good news is it hasn't moved out any further. If I wasn't lazy I'd pound it back in.
The second issue is the arm that holds each side of the case together has broke- this is actually a blessing, because now I can fold the case flat and don't have to remove it when going through airport security in the USA. Saves many cringe-worthy moments that I have as i watch my laptop shuffle around in a plastic bin.
It's a timeless, always-in-style (or decidedly retro) look. IMHO, it makes Tumi or Brenthaven look like a joke. I am in technical sales and, as much as we'd like to think that image means nothing, walking in with the ZH, and then taking out whatever late-model MBP I happen to have makes a professional, serious statement about yourself and the product you are representing.
(Here's hoping that my new Unibody and On-Order Gonna-Be-Hackintoshed Dell Mini 9 will both fit into the case).

How long is the warranty for the Zen Mic

Can anyone tell me how long the warranty is for the Zen Micro? Thanks!

SSR,
The year/90 days warranty is our standard for PDE devices to my knowledge. It does happen to be the warranty in the US; however some countries have laws requiring different warranty lengths. We don't do any warranties on current PDE products that are less than this to my knowledge.

Cases for the Zen Xtra and which online servi

I just bought a Zen Xtra 30 GB and would like to get some safe way of carrying it when I jog. Either a fanny pack or arm band. Has anyone seen these. If so where? Also what online services work with this device. I saw Napster works directly with the micro.

I've not seen either specifically for the Zen, but I'm sure you can get a generic belt based case from something like a camera shop. Or use a case e.g. Vaja, that has a belt connector.
Currently the Xtra will support any service that uses normal WMA DRM (or of course the very few that use MP3). It won't support PlayForSure (and Janus DRM) yet, but a new firmware is supposed to bring this. See the FAQ.

A question about the Flash intro for the Zen Mic

Arm strap for the Zen Mic

I'd like to take my Micro to the gym, but I need an arm strap because I'm afraid of bumping the unit with a weight if I were to clip it to my waist.
Could anyone recommend a good arm band/strap that will fit the player snugly? Anything specifically made for the zen micro (5gb) would be a plus.
Thanks!
p.s. I won't be able to check this board too often. If you have a suggestion and would be so kind, please e-mail me at [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]. Thanks again.

I got one of these

which is pretty good and very affordable. Good service from them as well!
As it says it was intended for ipodmini but also fits the Zen Micro.

External Charger For the Zen Mic

will there be an external charger for the Zen Micro? So you can always have a juiced up battery ready and willing to go? =)

I think it's a huge inefficiency to require that the player be out of commission during the battery charging.
An optional external charger would remedy this problem and would make having a second battery the seamless way to have constant connectivity.
As it stands, you can't use the player for 3+ hours while it's charging.
These proprietary batteries that are only chargeable via Creative products are confining and non-user-friendly.
An optional external charger would make this player much more usable.
PS - otherwise - I LOVE IT!!!

Firmware Maddness for the Zen Mic

Is it just me or is this firmware business out of control for the Zen Micro?
Having a .0 series and a 2.0 series at the same time is creating way too much confusion!
Aren't MP3 players supposed to be replacing portable CD Players and Cassette Players? Well the coolness factor is there, but the user experience has some serious room for improvment.
The common person would have no clue what the heck to do with all these firmware downloads. Even the descriptions of the firmware would be very confusing for most people getting into MP3 players for the first time. I am very happy with my Zen Micro and am using Windows Media Player as my Music Manager without any problems. I guess I am supposed to wait for the new 2..02 beta to get "un-betad" instead of downloading the new .02.05 but that's just a guess at this point. There are a ton of MP3 players out there with more features and a lower price than iPods, but they still don't come close to outselling it. That's because its the ease of use, not necessarily the features that separates iPods from the rest of the pack. Hey Creative, dummy these things down and watch your sales go up! You will reach a whole new set of customers if you do!

I agree, I'd like to see creatives mp3 players and napsters service to be a profitiable and long-lasting business because I think this way of finding and listening to music is wonderful.. but the firmware updates/formatting the dri've/and all this other technical stuff is a little bit much for the average person to deal with. Also the newest non-MTP version has a bunch of new fixes which the newest MTP version apparently doesn't even have but they both came out the same day or so? I dont understand that.

Hard/soft case for the 2nd gen nano?

I'd really like to buy an 8GB 2nd generation Nano, but am having to delay as i can't find a single case for it (ideally one with a belt clip). I don't want to order a case designed for a 1st gen Nano as i'm not sure it would fit due to the slight size difference between 1st gen and 2nd gen Nanos.
Are there any cases currently available that are designed to fit 2nd gen Nanos? If not, does anyone know when some might become available?
Thanks for the help!
iPod nano aluminium Windows XP

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
In the coming weeks, more and more cases will be released for the 2G iPod nano. You can always go to the online Apple Store too and see what they have available at the moment (tell the store to show you cases compatible with 2G nanos).

Best "work-out" case for the Zen Vision

I received a ZV:M about a week ago, and I'm mainly going to be using it'swhile working out at the gym. I've read that the case Creative makes is the best to get, but is there a thing on the back to hold an arm band Is there a better case to use while working out? Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

I have the DLO Action Jacket for my ZVM.
Good protection, and comes with a belt clip and an arm band. WARNING - It will scuff up the black plastic face of your ZVM (for that matter, so will most cases...the ZVM's plastic is notoriously fragile....) - so if that's a concern to you, invest in a Best-Skin-Ever or equivalent. I'm not crazy about the case...it's a bit of a dust magnet...but I was thankful it was on the other day when my ZVM slipped from my hand...rolled down 5 stairs and on to a concrete floor. It survi'ved without any damage. Another word of warning...be extremely careful if you're using your ZVM, or any hard-dri've based player, while working out. The jarring of repeated high-impact exercise (like jogging) is not good for the hard dri've and can cause damage. For that sort of thing, I'd recommend investing in a cheap flash-based player.

Help with a New Case for the ZEN Touch 20

Does anyone know of a case other than the one that came with the player?Something I can use,not like the pouch. It would be nice to change songs or even adjust the volume with out having to pull the player out all the time. If some one from Creative reads this....do you have any idea how much money you can make if you put out a case that gives end uesers access to all functions with out haveing to remove from the case.PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Please Creative!! We need to have at least one case option that allows access to the screen and buttons at a reasonable price. Maybe strike a deal with a current case manufacturer to supply an option for all of the desperate users out here. I'm seriously looking at options to make one myself from materials I can find (actually came across a how-to on making a case out of a milk jug--please don't make us resort to such measures).
By the way, the Vaja case is nice, but $80 (including shipping) is ridiculous IMO when you just need something to hold the player and provide access at the same time.
My 2 cents.

Someone please help me to find a USA to US power adaptor for the Zen Mic

Help ! I recently received a 40th birthday present zen micro from a relati've in New York, however the plug is the USA 'two flat pin type'. I have detached it from the power supply to find two smaller pins underneath so please someone tell me where I can buy the UK version of this 'plug top' from. Standard US to UK travel adaptors don't work as the collar diameter on them is too small meaning that the Zen's power supply won't fit ! I am desperate to try my new Zen out but I'm stuck ! Many thanks for any help.
Martin.

Thanks to everyone for the ti
ps.
I've gone for the cheapy uk shaver adaptor and it works fine. My zen didnt need any firmware updates but bizarrly the spare battery took nearly fi've hours to fully charge against the first which was just under three !
Lastly, does anyone know if the warranty is valid in the UK (ie Global) seeing as my zen came from the US.
Thanks again to all.
