apears to be exactly what i wanted . noticed while working it was coming off my belt because i wear a wider belt. zune goes in very tight and comes out very hard hope it loosens up over time. all in all i like the style and looks.

Overall, I'd give the DLO Folio case a thumbs up. It does have it's shortcomings, such as the flip portion of the case is rather hard to flip open when the headphones, or any other adapter, is in the jack. It takes a sort of pull up and out technique to get it to pass through the hole provided. But, really, that is my only complaint. Quite frustrating when the case is restricting the access of your Zune. The pros; however, outweigh the cons. The leather is soft and looks great when paired with your Zune. The gadget itself sits nice and snug inside the case and feels safe & secure. The buttons are easily pressed even through the protective plastic layer, and unlike the headphone jack, the USB port and hold button are easily accessed. It looks good, feels good, and keep my Zune clothed and comfy.

This is the perfect holder for a Zune. You can recharge it with it on and even play it with it on. It protects it 100% and is very classy looking. I'm very glad I bought it. It will extend the life of my Zune.

The case itself looks nice on the outside, but once you put your Zune in it and open it up, you'll regret ever buying it. The plastic screen protector is so foggy and smudged that you're lucky if you can see anything through it. If you leave your Zune in it, the stitching around the center control leaves smudges and indentations around it. Mine is also falling apart. Be smart, stick to the fabric cover that came with the Zune. Don't buy DLO products, they're expensive cheaply made products.

I bought this case because I heard about all of the good reviews. What a mistake. The plastic screen protector is EXTREMLEY scratch prone. After a couple of days of use it was all scratched up! I DO NOT recommend this to anyone. Splurge on a better case.

It fits my Zune 30GB perfectly and snugly. The quality of the leather feels good. The screen over the Zune's display is just a thin piece of flexible clear acrylic sheet, but as the case relies on the leather folio cover for protection, this is a non-issue. The screen still looks clear through the clear cover, and is not distorted. The earphone and the bottom connectors are accessible with the folio cover closed. The Zune controls are also easily usable with it.

My only gripe is with the belt clip. It is a clip (open at the bottom, albeit with an indentation against the case), not a loop (both top and bottom closed, and the belt feeds through it), so that if you're sitting down and the case gets caught on something (the edge of your desk, for example), it doesn't take much force for the case to pop clear of your belt and drop. Happened to me once already (thankfully, the Zune's OK).

I was thinking that a loop-type fixture would've been better, but after using the case for a while, came to realize that that wouldn't be ideal, either. Sometimes, you need to fully access the Zune's screen and menus to perform the desired function. I can increase/decrease volume, skip a song, and pause it, while the DLO Folio case is attached to my belt, but anything more than that really needs me to have the Zune in my hand to fully navigate the menus--to select a specific song, for example. A belt-loop connection would require me to either undo my belt (not always a good idea in public) or take the Zune out of the case (again, not a good thing if you're clumsy or accident-prone). So in that regard, the clip connector on it works great.

A better connector would've been a setup with a belt loop, but with a clickable, detachable connector for the actual case itself that latches securely and requires a user action to unlatch and unlock it (like many cell phone belt cases). That'd probably add a bit to the case thickness (as is, it's an extremely slim and attractive case).

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the DLO Folio and consider it $24 well spent. I checked out just about every single Zune case that Amazon carries and selected this, and am happy with the choice.

I paid $30 for my 1st case and only $11 for this one including shipping. You can charge your Zune without removing the case.

Ok people! I bought one of these like 4-5 years ago, along with my 30GB Zune, and let me tell you that it has been a trooper!!! Best product ever! Looks great. Perfect, flawless fit. Great quality/durability/craftsmanship. I have dropped my zune a fair number of times, and this DLO has saved it every time. ZERO scratches or cracks due to this product due to the fact that it covers like 99% of player, and thanks to this my player still looks practically new!
It's so good, im getting another one, as I got caught on a counter like a year ago and ripped the stitching apart on the back and around the clip. Now after many faithful years, it will be replaced by another DLO to take it's place! I am more than happy to invest in another DLO Folio as it lived up to, and exceeded all my expectations. I STRONGLY recommend this product!
GET IT! You will not be let down!
Can't wait to get my replacement folio!

This is a great case if you want to wear your Zune all day. I had one prior to purchasing this one and it lasted for 2.5 years with daily use and abuse. The only drawback to this case is you have to remove the Zune from the case if you want to use the A/V kit. You can charge with cable without removing Zune from the case.

I have tried a few other cases before, but none of them were as awesome as this one. The magnets keep the cover down snugly. The buttons are perfectly accessable through the cover. The headphone jack and cord jack are both useable while the Zune is in the case. The screen cover is durable and prevents scratches. All of these awesome features come in an attractive leather package. I highly recommend this case!
