4.0 out of 5 stars Creative Zen Silicon Skin 3-Pack - Great Value and Performance, October 31, 2007

By	Mark "Technology, Music and Movies" (East Coast) - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER)

The Creative ZEN 3-in-1 Skin pack includes 3 silicon cases to protect your Zen media player. This is probably the best overall value in cases for your Creative Zen.

Creative has another silicon skin that includes an integrated "wire Management" pouch on the back of the skin to hold your headphone wires while not in use. If that is a feature you crave, look into that case.

These cases come in red, blue and black, and all three look good. There is also an included belt clip for the cases.

These skins fit your Zen nicely and allows you to access the controls through a thinner area. The 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, which can accidentally slip out of your hand.

One other nice thing about this set is that you get 3 different cases for the same price as one of the others. That makes these little cases a nice value. Be aware these are not made from the thickest silicon out there. That's why it's nice to have a few of them, though none have ripped on me yet.

If you don't like the feel of silicon you may 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!

2.0 out of 5 stars Big Dissapointment, December 11, 2007

By	D. Ren - See all my reviews

After realizing that I couldn't just leave my Zen in my pocket without risking damage to it, I decided to try the Zen silicone skin packs. This seemed like a decent deal because it came with three colors and looked like it would be useful. Unfortunately, the products themselves have numerous problems that keep them from being worth their price tag.

For one thing, the Zen skin has an overly cheap feeling to it. When you slide the skin over the player, it feels as if it will rip any second. And since there is no way to reach the soft reset button on the back of the player without first taking off the skin, I'm concerned that too many instances of removing and reapplying the skin will lead to permanent damage to it.

Secondly, the skin is HORRIBLY prone to dust. This product might be more effective as a duster to sweep around the house considering how much it attracts it. Once the skin has become littered with dust, it becomes overly difficult to clean and remove.

The last issue has to do with the total lack of screen protection. It would have cost a fraction more in production to add a small screen protector that could have further kept the system safe, but instead it stays fully unexposed unless you purchase a screen protector separately.

I would have given this one star if the skin didn't at least offer minor protection to the player--which it thankfully does (emphasis on the "minor"). Besides that however, positives are hard to find. Maybe they got lost amongst all of those dust particles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice skins. Good protection., October 16, 2007

By	M. Mance - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These skins fit the new Zen quite well, and allow for easy operation of all of the control buttons underneath. The belt clips are flexible and they're very good at protecting the body of the Zen. The only thing I noticed was that you had to take the skin off to get to the reset hole in the MP3 player. The skins have a molded in opening for everything else, including the SD card slot. However, this is a relatively minor omission, and I assume it was intentional to keep people from restting their Zen. Otherwise, I would heartily recommend these items for the new Creative Zen.
