I bought this case because it was cheap but I haven't used it because dirt and cat hair just CLING to this case. The case doesn't even have a clip so it's pretty much useless. Yes it will protect your player, sort of but it bulks it up when you have to carry it in your pocket. I bought the DLO Action Jacket for the Sansa SanDisk e200 series which protects the screen and has a clip and armband. The DLO case is the way to go!!!!

Pros

* Fits like a glove (goes without saying)

* Um... Peace of mind?

Cons

* This case makes pushing the buttons harder than it already is.

* There is nothing to protect the screen.

* If you're left-handed (or like to operate gadgets with your left hand) note that it is impossible to push the Menu button. It would take a double-jointed freak of nature to comfortably push it.

* The case is a dust and hair magnet. Every time you pull it out of your pocket, it's encrusted with lint you didn't even know you had. Dust manages to sneak under every surface, and hair magically sticks to it. This case is a DNA-sample paradise for forensic experts.

One of the features of a flash-based memory player is the fact that they won't break as easily when you drop them. Unless you're paranoid about getting scratches on your shiny new Sansa, don't buy this.

Go to the Sandisk website, they have huge list of cases that you can buy. They range from a ruggedized rubber case to the Griffin Disko which is clear, covers the screen and has flashing LEDs embedded in it. Lots of choices to pick from, take a look before purchasing this one.

Don't buy this piece of crap case. It is a flimsy piece of silicone with no plastic face to really protect the item.

The carrying case that comes with the unit is fine.

I bought this as an amazon recommendation but have found it to cause build-up of static electricity, causing the mp3 player to skip. For instance, the silicone can build-up static on the fabric of your car seat or the lining of a jacket pocket, so much so that tapping on the back or flicking the cover will cause an audible skip, just like a CD player. I found the most difficulty waiting on a train in Chicago, where electricty is high, but once I removed the silicone case the skipping stopped. Look for another, more protective case.

Will it help if the player falls to the ground?

Probably.

Does it have a way to attach to a carrying case, armband, etc? NO

Is the price worth it?

It depends, B&M stores it costs $12-$15, Amazon much less

Would I buy again?

NO, I would get another type of protector that has an armband, or other way to carry my E260

I bought this to keep the Sansa from getting banged up. Since this is the reason I purchased the product, I'll give it 2 stars. That is about all it does. Other reviewers have covered the other shortfalls- static build up, covering controls, etc. I was lucky to get mine for a really low price, or I'd be more disappointed. Spend a couple bucks more and get a better case, I know I'm going to.

When i first got my sansa in july it was about the only thing around so i had to get it. Its an alright case but theres no screen protection or armband or belt clip atachment. i would say invest 5 more dollars into a better product.

I agree with some of the buyers. This item is a waste of money. I dropped it on my rug, went to pick it up and it was all dirty. I would love to return it but unfortunatley I can't.

Yes its a dust magnet but I don't have to worry about dropping or scratching it when putting it down. I've been using these rubber skins since the 3rd gen Ipod. It doesnt add that much width to the player and it doesnt get in the way when going for the buttons (anymore than the rotary dial does). it fits nice and tight just add a piece of screen protector film and your set.

PS - You may as well buy it from Amazon as they have the best price. Everywhere else its 15 bucks. Order it when you order the player or you'll spend another week waiting for the rubber skin
