Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Very useful. Comment: After dropping my 80gb zune several times, I started to hear a light jingling noise inside of my zune. At that moment, I decided I needed a case.
I do not like the clanky, bulky feel of hard cases, but I do love the soft, jelly-like feeling of skin cases, so this was perfect for me. I purchased this in black to match my Zune and just slipped it right on. With the skin covering, whenever my zune slips out of my grasp or pocket, it simply lands with a slight bounce.
All in all, this case has been extremely useful to me. A screen cover and armband were also included with the case. The screen cover protects the zune from scratches and I use the armband whenever I go running. If you need some lightweight protection for your zune, I highly recommend purchasing this item. Customer Rating: Summary: Great & inexpensive Comment: Works great, however does not have a clear shield attached to the cover instead there is a screen protector included. Customer Rating: Summary: It broke Comment: Bought this product 6 months ago. It lasted me about 70-100 trips to the gym. After which it snapped where the band goes in the case. Don't buy it if you have bigger arms. Otherwise the band is comfortable. Customer Rating: Summary: Good for the money Comment: Its a good product for a pretty small price compared to OEM equipment. The armband feature is not very sturdy but since its a HDD based device, I wouldn't recomend jogging or parkour with it anyways. But for something to protect it while its in your pocket or bookbag, its a good deal. Customer Rating: Summary: SUPERGRIP-BLACK 80GB Zune Case Review Comment: This review is for the SUPERGRIP-BLACK 80GB Zune Case from the PCMICROSTORE.
In general, this is a good product. I will break it down by parts.
Shipping: I received this product in 6 days, but it was over a weekend - so really took 4 days. I was happy with the shipping. (I chose the standard option)
Packaging: Came in a small plastic bag, sealed, something normal you would expect.
The Case: I am impressed. The case slips over the Zune 80 and fits very well. Clearly designed for my Zune. It does collect dust fairly easily, but that is not a big deal to me.
--Controls: The Zune pad is not hindered at all by this case. The Play/Pause button and the Back button are covered, but I have no problem using them. The headphone jack has clear and easy access. The Hold button is a little hard to reach, but it is not that bad.
--Feeling: The case grips well, is easy to hold, and doesn't slip. It has texture on the sides and back witch allow even easier holding.
--Screen: The case does not hinder the screen viewing at all.
--Bottom / Charge post access: There is a fairly large hole at the bottom of the case, but the zune does not come out or slip down or anything like that. The standard cable provided with the Zune easily fits in.
I also have the Zune brand dock (http://www.zune.net/en-US/products/z/zunedockpack/details.page/)
I was worried that the case would hinder my dock access, but it does not! The way the Zune dock works it that it is universal for all zunes, and it has a small plastic piece that goes over the port to adapt for each zune. If you use the dock without any plastic piece in place, it works with this Zune case perfectly. I am very please with that.
The armband: It works really well. I was expecting a flimsy little strap, but that is not the case. It has a Velcro attachment. It slips through two little (reinforced) holes in the back of the case. It holds the zune in place as good as you could expect. In my opinion, it flops around a little too much for running. The zune 80 is just too heavy, but that is not this case's fault. It works well for weight lifting and exercises that dont have jumping or fast movements. I am satisfied.
The belt clip: The clip screws into itself through a small hole in the back of the case. It works well enough but it is not very high quality plastic. If you are planning to hang your zune on the clip a lot, it may break after a while and I wouldn't recommend it too much. But...the clip was just like a extra add on for me. Semi-Satisfied.
Video Stand: First of all, you must understand that the stand is VERTICAL, and you watch movies with the zune HORIZONTAL... However, you can move the little plastic grips at the end to sorta "convert" it for horizontal viewing. It is not at the perfect angle, but it works well enough. The stand stored under a small plastic lip, witch works well enough, but it is not full proof. The stand also easily removes if you do not want to use it. I am Satisfied.
Screen Protector: The screen protector is in no way, shape, or form specifically designed for the Zune 80. It is way to big and requires cutting. Do not buy this case if you are no prepared to do some work to use the screen protector. It can be cut fairly easily however, and works well if you cut it right. I suggest using a straight cutting like seen in a FedEx Kinkos or OfficeMax Impress, doesn't take too long, and should work fine. The protector itself does it's job once it is on and it not too thick. I am disappointed in having to cut it, but satisfied once it is on.
Combination of all accessories: Everything in this package works well together. You can have your screen protector on, case over that, video stand on, belt clip hooked in, and using the arm band and it all still works. I wouldn't recommend using the arm band with the belt clip, because it hurts your arm after a while, but the clip and band hold up well.
---------------------------------
OVERALL IMPRESSION:
This is a great case at a wonderful price. All the features work well enough to satisfy any normal Zune user, and the case gives you the feeling that much more durability has been added to your zune. It grips well, doesn't hinder functionality, and protects your zune!
Pros:
-Protects well
-Good grip
-Full functionality
-Armband quality
-Full dock usage
-Video Stand works
Cons:
-Screen protector not cut to size
-Belt clip not too strong
-Hold button can be a tad hard to access
