4.0 out of 5 stars Zen Skin with Wire Management - Nice, October 31, 2007

The Creative ZEN Skin case protects your media player while providing a "wire Management" area on the back of the skin to hold your headphone wires while not in use.

This is a great overall case to protect your player, but the wire management feature adds some thickness to it. Therefore, if you need wire management, get this skin. If you can do without wire management, stand alone silicon cases are available.
ZEN 3-In-1 Skin Pack (Red/Blue/Black)

This skin fits your Zen nicely and allows you to access the controls through a thinner area. The thick banding around the edges will give you a little more confidence if you accidentally drop your player. Another advantage of the silicon cases is that they have a little more "grip" to them. They tend to be easier to hold in your hand than the clear plastic case.

You may also want to explore the leather and clear plastic cases available from Creative. Each of those cases has integrated stands for easier video viewing.

Please note you will still have to buy a screen protector for your player. The screen is left open so that you can slide your player into it.

Enjoy!!

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit clumsy, February 17, 2008

This review is from: Creative Labs Skin with Wire Management for Zen and Zen MX MP3 Players- Black (Electronics)

The Zen needs a cover, because its shiny black surface is easily scratched. I selected this one, because my headphones tend to get wrapped around themselves in endless knots, and I hoped it would help prevent that.

Basically, the wire management aspect of the product is a series of little plastic disks and an additional skin for the back of the Zen. You can wrap the cord of your headphones around the disk, then unwrap when you're ready to listen again.

It's a bit awkward, as the only way I can get it to work is to wrap it underneath the extra back panel, which has a curve to match the back of the Zen. It's an awkward thing. I also have a terrible memory for details, so I can't always remember which way to unwrap, but if you're better at this than me, it might serve you better.

It's enough of an inconvenience that I haven't really used it much since the first few tries, so if you're not sure you will, you might want to consider some of the other skin options available for the Zen.

The skin protects the zen, but the wire management is not user friendly at all. The plastic piece that holds it all together is not a tight fit, so it comes apart very easily. I would not recommend this product.
