4.0 out of 5 stars Protects the screen and everything not needing access. :), January 2, 2007

This review is from: Griffin iClear Case for Sansa e200 Series MP3 Players (Clear) (Electronics)

I got the iClear case for my e260 and am quite pleased with it.
No need for any skins with this thing, as it covers and protects
the screen. All of the options are accessible with this case,
even the record button and microphone. I don't have an L-shaped
jack for my buds/phones, but I did read 2 reviews on another forum
that confirms this is possible. Also, my Griffin iTrip fits with
the iClear on without a hitch. The only reason I didn't
give this 5 stars is that it makes the |<< and >>| buttons a bit
harder to utilize, but I got used to that rather quickly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy and secure, but has some flaws., March 15, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Griffin iClear Case for Sansa e200 Series MP3 Players (Clear) (Electronics)

I bought this case for a decent price, and it arrived within 3 or 4 days.

Packaged with the case and a landyard (much better than the prepackaged one that came with the sansa itself), the iClear for the Sansa e200 seemed promising.

PROS:
Placing it on is a breeze. It snaps shut securely, and can be taken off easily with a twist at the bottom corners with a coin.

This case allows full access to all the buttons, the USB and MicroSD slot, the HOLD key, and the REC button.

The buttons near surrounding the scrollwheel is a tad harder to press, but is manageable once you get used to it.

The iClear is secure; your Sansa won't "shake" in the case. the iClear is literally perfectly shaped to the e200, so all you joggers and atheletes out there can manage with this case. (All though I'd recommend the armband cases if you want to run often with the E200.)

CONS:

The only major flaw is that, in my case, the case actually puts a bit of pressure on the areas near the screen.. There are discernible "dents" that can be described as "water bubbles." Although this pressure does not appear to harm the screen, it gives a "depressed" look on the sansa.

Another problem is that dust CAN get between the case and the sansa from the bottom of the case especially, as it does not have a sturdy seal. However, this flaw is bearable and only people who are sensitive to fingerprints and dust specks on the sansa will be bothered.


Overall, the iClear for the Sansa E200 is a good buy, with some negligible flaws. If you're looking for a good-looking case that serves its purpose at a good price, pick this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight perfect fit for the Sansa, May 3, 2007

I can't say anything negative about this case. The clear acrylic look fits perfectly over the Sansa's body, allowing access to only the earphone jack and the scrollwheel and buttons. Everything else is securely protected. I've dropped my Sansa countless times and it's unscathed thanks to this case. I've even dropped it with such force that the case actually came apart! (must have made impact on the corner). Case is fine, and the MP3 player is undamaged (amen for flash memory!)

From all the wear and tear (the case is becoming scratched from all the drops!) the screen is completely visible and, most importantly, the actually Sansa still has it's high-gloss, black finish as if it were brand new. Great great product.

I will agree with a previous review: The case itself, due to it protecting the entire product, makes you have to hit the directional buttons coming from the direction of the scroll wheel. You only use these buttons for Start/Pause and Back/Forward, so the "inconvenience" is neglible. Great product.
