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.

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.

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.

iclear case is great. It a plastic polycarbonate shield that fits perfectly over your Sansa mp3 player. It's very easy to detach the case from your player by using a coin to prey it apart. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I paid $8 more than what the price is now on it and it's sort of hard to press the forward and backward buttons like the other guy wrote. [[<< - >>]]

I'm quite pleased with this product. It fits the sansa snugly and does exactly what its supposed to. I think its good value for the money and would recommend it to any Sansa owner looking for a reasonably-priced product to protect their player.

Yes, it does make it a little harder to press the buttons around the click wheel, but it doesn't take long to adjust to it. I love not having to worry about scratching ANY part of my Sansa e280.

I dropped the player from about 5ft onto a tiled floor (accidentally), and I'm sure it would have been destroyed if it wasn't for this case. The case did come apart, but wasn't damaged. I suppose it was also a good thing the e200 is flash based. As for the ergonomics, while the RW, FW buttons are a little awkward to press, after a short while it's no big hassle, and such a good fit around the player probably couldn't be achieved with a a lot of room around the buttons. You might find "bubbles" on the screen, but applying pressure in a slightly different spot to close the case seems to work to get rid of them, although it takes a few tries.

Perfect protection case
No hassle to see what ur playing, but still provides protection
No hassle of opening a leather case
No hassle of getting fussy, lint all over ur mp3 player

Cons: Makes mp3 player slighty wider, but can still fit in pocket easily; harder to press skip, play, submenu buttons, but u get used to pressing them with the tip of ur finger and in no time its no big deal at all

this thing rocks

Nice sharp fit. Am a tad disappointed, in that the cover has scratched already, but it did the job, the MP3 player is not scratched. No limiting access of the buttons or slots.

Perfect fit and great protection. Does make it a bit harder to use the buttons on the unit, but not a deal breaker.
